There was one time I told a(black) salesman "don't bake" as an innocuous weather comment. Unfortunately he heard it as don't BANG, which sounds like a racist remark that all black people are street thugs and I have to go out of my way to warn him not to be because he was, you know, black. I panicked a little and told him it was just about the hot weather (which was really hot). At which point he said, "This is nothing, I grew up in Texas."
