This took place on the phone to a guy at Target:
Me: Hi, I'm just wondering if you sell shin pads?
SA: I'm sorry, what?
Me: Shin pads. You know, to protect your shins when you're playing soccer?
SA: Oh, shin guards?
Me: (thinking HUGE diff) Those are the ones.
SA: Ok, which sport?
Me: Soccer (soccah)
SA: Soccah? I'm sorry, what?
Me: Um... soccah? Soccah?
SA: Err... soccah? Which sport?
Me: Sah-kerrr?
SA: Oh, soccer.
Me: laughing hysterically.

That waa really funny! It reminded me of a conversation I once had with a waitress in Texas somewhere about a toilet; I was rather desperate to go and she could not understnd what I wanted at all; I think I ended up with pretty obvious sign language and after about five minutrds of this she said: oh so you wanted the "toilet" and proceded to give me the directions. I could have killed her!
Best regards

that is soooo funny.im still laughing.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahhaa!!
As you know my friend is working in LA and she has to talk with an American accent just so the customers can understand her.
HAHHAH! That's hiliriiius rex, hiliriius!
hahaha go u sarah with your occa aussie accent!
Erm... It's not ocker. It's just pronounced the way we speak it. It's not my fault that they pronounce "o" sound wrong.
It's not ocker at all. That is EXACTLY how Australians (and I'd imagine Brits if they didn't call Soccer 'football') pronounce it. If you’re Australian and call it sah-kerrr, then you’ve been watching too much American television.
Oops, I spelt my name wrong, damn touch typing.
Ha Ha Meaks! Calling Sarah 'occa' is the funniest thing ever. Ah youse guys you're so ASSSTRAAAAAYAN.
