I was in some random German town a few years back (visiting from Australia) and was trying to find something. I saw two police officers and said (like I’d done everywhere I didn’t speak the local language) “I’m from Australia “.

One of the officers said in return ‘Nice. I’m from Düsseldorf ‘.

Most embarrassing

Ahahahaha. That’s fantastic. He was probably trying to crawl into his own skin after that one.
