On a scuba diving trip in EgyptI was on a boat going out to a dive site with about 10 other divers from various places - England, Germany, Holland - and a group of about 8 Russians joined us for the day. I speak fluent Russian but didn't let the Russians know this, and they spent most of the day slagging off all the other divers and the boat crew, believing of course that no one could understand them. They called me a few names too, and thought this was all absolutely hillarious.
At the end of the day as we came back to harbour I smiled at them and calmly told them (in Russian) that for future reference they might want to be a little more careful about who they slag off because you never know who might be listening.
They were utterly speechless and their faces were an absolute picture!
