I would have died laughing.
Unfortunately (or probably fortunately) I have no ugly American stories. I've been to Mexico, Spain, Austria and Germany and I've found that as long as you make an attempt to speak the language, the people are super-friendly. In Germany (a high school trip) all we knew of the language was "Danke," plus the words for "Please" and "Good morning/evening" (which I have since forgotten), but everyone was really nice even so. (Maybe this is because we were 15 and 16 at the time and they didn't expect much of us?)
