I'm still amazed by how often I don't realize something is different in English, even after living here for nearly 7 years.
I'll find myself asking something or asking for something and being met with a blank expression.
My current favorite is that I got onto a post-grad level drawing course, which I'm very excited about. When I try and tell my English friends, they haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, as evidently drawing has a hidden "r" sound in the first syllable that I wasn't aware of.
That and when I say I'm excited for school to start everyone assumes I mean primary school and that I'm a teacher (especially puzzeling for those that know how I feel about children).
