Or the guy who bumped into me in a bakery that then proceeded to use 4 
different languages in sequence until I acknowledged him :-)

I always like to annoy my German teach by deliberately (incorrectly) 
pronouncing obviously-foreign words the German way.  Although admittedly 
sometimes it is hard to know which foreign words to pronounce their way or 
the original way.  But still I can't help myself when I see "Job", it's just 
crying out to be pronounced "Yob" :-)
