 I had an ISP support person on the phone the other day. She had such a
severe Indian or Filipino accent that I didn't understand what she was
saying. So I hung up (I thought) and yelled "Speak fucking English!"
at the phone. After a short silence, I heard "Hello?" I hadn't hung
up. I continued the conversation as if nothing happened. She now spoke
a lot slower, which helped. After a bit more talk, my phone ran out of
power and hung up.
 

A couple of years ago while at my friend's place, she had a problem. The person we talked to was in the Philippines and we heard a lot of noise in the background.  They were getting a typhoon and the wind was howling.
She fixed the problem though.
