If you're perfectly capable of speaking English, and are in the company of someone who doesn't speak your other language, then it's rude to speak that language in front of them because they can't understand what you're saying.

Yup. I get my nails done in a salon where it's mostly Vietnamese women working. They are all fluent in English but they speak Vietnamese to each other. My nail tech will be filing my nails and talking to another tech in Vietnamese at the same time. For all I know, they could be saying that my nails suck and I'd never know.
That reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. Elaine was getting her nails done at a Korean nail salon (I think...or it was Vietnamese...I'm not sure). The techs were speaking Korean to each other. Elaine suspected they were talking about her so she brought in George's dad to the salon since he spoke Korean. It turned out that the techs were talking about her! Anyone see that episode?
