I do the same thing at work. I'm an apartment manager, and I get a guilty thrill out of not mentioning I speak spanish to people conversing amongst themselves until they're about to leave, when I respond to something they're discussing.

Side note, my husband does not speak spanish and I find that I'm kind of judgmental when he says gracias or the like in the scenario of #2 from the OP's post.
