Here's one I just recently encountered: laughing derisively in a group and speaking only in a foreign language. Made me feel really self-conscious with a group of French people sitting around me doing that. At least if they did it in English I'd have known whether or not they were laughing at me. And I know that some people specifically use their other languages to make fun of people while in their company. NAUGHTY.
