Americans
(Note: Yes, I'm an American) I was waiting in the Air New Zealand/ Virgin Atlantic terminal at LAX on my way to NZ. I all of a sudden heard this yelling, and turned to look at the source.
What I found was the reason why Americans are hated overseas. This man was overweight, he had his obvious beer belly, and he was wearing a Chicago Bears hat. He was shouting "Fosters is Australian for Beer? Well give me Another!"

Queen Beatrix
My Grandfather won the highest civilian award in the Netherlands, and had lunch with her Majesty, Queen Beatrix (mind you, he's a Dutch citizen, like my father and I).

And one more.
My Girlfriend and I were on a Holland America cruise, and one day we got onto an elevator and were greeted by several old women. The women then promptly started a conversation amongst themselves about Dutch cities (you see, i'm half dutch, and a Dutch citizen, so I was intrigued.). "Let's see, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Westerdam (the Ship's Name), do all Dutch Cities end in Dam?" I then responded to their question going "No, actually..." and rattled off a bunch of Dutch City names that do not end in Dam.
