What embarrassing things have you encountered due to language barriers?

An embarrassing incident for my first trip abroad. I was walking in a mall in Mexico when I suddenly felt anxious. The tour guide was busy and asked me to look for the toilet sign by myself. After walking around for a long time, I didn’t see the toilet sign. , I was already in a hurry, and it was obviously not appropriate to go back to find the tour guide, so I had to shamelessly ask for directions, but looking around, I saw that they were all foreigners, and speaking Chinese to them was like a duck. It seemed that I had to risk my life. I made a gesture, so I aimed at an old foreign lady, nodded conflictingly, and said hello with a smile. The old lady also smiled at me, I rubbed my belly and bent my legs to her, and expressed that I was urgent and very urgent in poor English. I wanted to go to the toilet, but the old lady nodded and pointed in one direction. Maybe she was afraid that I couldn’t find it, so she wanted to take me there in person. I felt so lucky at the time. I figured it out as soon as I gestured, and she was so kind to take me there in person. , but what I never expected was that since she took me to a drugstore, I just wanted to cry without tears.
