Yanks
Whilst travelling to San Franciso on a Greyhound bus (I was a skint backpacker, what can you do), I got talking to an american guy. He asked me where I was from to which I told him the country of England. 'And you've come all this way on the bus?' he replied

Also when I was trying to book my Greyhound tickets over the phone, oh dear.
'What's your Credit Card Number'
'It's xxxxx'
'And what's your home address'
'xxxx, Lancashire, England'
'And what state is that in?'
'No I live in England, you know the country'
'Oh ok, but what state is it in?'
'I live in England we have counties, will that do? I live in Lancashire'
'OK, I just need the 2 letter code for that state'
'Fine how about LA'
'Oh why didn't you just say you live Louisiana?'
went to find a bridge to jump off

New Zealand
My brother came over from the UK to visit me in New Zealand. When he arrived in Wellington after driving down from Auckland he expressed his utter dismay at a parking ticket he'd been given. It turned out he'd arrived in a town, seen a sign with a big 'P60' and left his car there for 3 hours. I eventually convinced him it didn't mean there were 60 parking spaces.
