Sri Lanka wanker
Touring in Sri Lanka, 1995, Lahndener couldn't understand that when asking someone, for whom English is a second or third language, for an orange-flavoured sparkling beverage, pronouncing the "T" rather than relying on a glottal stop might have got him his bottle of "Faaan-a" a lot sooner.
See also, continual complaining about the forrin food, and then when we were given a roast beef dinner, he complained about the fact the beef wasn't cooked to his liking.
