I was a teenager in Florida in 1980 with my parents, younger brother & sister and grandmother.
We were in a ribshack type restaurant and my grandma who was quite well spoken asked for 'a nice cup of tea'.
'An iced tea?' was the response.
Fair enough misunderstanding from the waitress but to my teenage self and brother and sister it was excruciatingly embarrassing.

I was in a Subway on the side of road in some part of the USA and asked for a Oregano and Parmesan bread, took my aunt who's lived in Canada for over almost 30 years stepping in and pronouncing Oregano the American way to get my damn sandwhich.
