1. Language Barrier
When I studied in Mexico, my Spanish skills were pretty rudimentary. The first month I was there I somehow confused “lo siento” with “yo serio”. This became a big problem. So when I bumped into someone on the street, instead of saying “I’m sorry”, I would look at them sincerely and say “I’m serious”.
Once I figured this out it explained a lot of strange and offended looks.
