Things I heard by chance

American at Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur;
"Look at that condor (gigantic prehistoric bird with a 3 meter wingspan) - I thought it was a pigeon."

"Wow you're from Sweden... Is that close to Europe?"

"One monk please" (Me at McDonald's)

And this one; My brother rented a surfboard, and the rental dude asked for his drivers license to take his personal details. On the rental contract it said - First name: Körkort, Last name: Sverige
(First name: Drivers license, Last name: Sweden)
