Shortly after I moved to Ireland someone in work asked if I had any craic (which over here means any news/gossip etc). I looked at them and just remember not knowing what to say and thinking they weren't very discreet in asking for drugs lol!
Consultants - Several hours of my undivided attention in which they change everything they'd already decided to do for no apparent reason other than they obviously thing I look good stressed and grey. Then change it all back when I finally crack and say somthing like 'But you're in effing Paris that day anyway so why are you telling patients you can operate on them? Do your arms reach from Paris? Are you planning on training me up before then? No? Well how about we leave it as it was then!' .... And breath.
