Some years ago, I drove across country. I'm from San Francisco originally and was driving from there to Ohio to visit family. We stopped in Texas to get some Popeye's chicken. When I ordered my food, the cashier stared at me with this bizarre look on her face. Another cashier came over and did the same thing. When I asked if there was anything wrong, the first cashier giggled and said, "It's nothin'. Just that yew gahht a funneh acceyent."
I found it quite strange that she'd say that seeing as how I never thought of myself as having an accent.
