Tall Tagalog Tale
A patient and her daughter complained to management about two nurses who came into her room and spoke in "their own language". The daughter overheard the exchange on the phone, the patient witnessed it first hand. There's just one problem, one of the nurses was me.
I can't imagine anyone accusing me of speaking Tagalog. I wish that I did speak it, I would fit in better if I did, but for me, it's English or nothing.
I do wish that I could understand why the accusation was made. The patient was drugged, so her I can excuse, but the patient's daughter, who is an RN, was presumably sober. At least we all got a good laugh over it.

Maybe your enunciation was a bit off key ;-)
My tall stature, blonde hair and blue eyes might also have led them to think that I'm Filipino. ;)
