A received an email from a work collegue yesterday asking some technical questions. I responded to the email with what to do and said that if she had any questions or if I confused her that she could call me. No more than 5 minutes had past, the telephone rings and the caller ID shows that it is her.
I answer the phone and say "So I must have confused you". The response "No. I just wanted to hear your accent". I never know what to say to that, except laugh.
The accent comment came up again that night at my son's rugby game. I was explaining an aspect of the game to some friends and they said I could tell them anything as they didn't know the game as well as me, but it was especially true because of my accent. Interesting.
