The one thing that comes to mind right away for me was accidental and may be considered more outright impolite (had I realised what I was doing) rather than inappropriate but I was walking through Leeds city centre the day after the festival with a mate and someone comes up to me and asks me if I can spare any change. I simply say "no" and walk on until it hits me a few paces later and I realised what she really said.
I turned around and looked back and see a woman from the NSPCC with a clipboard and donations tin staring at me who had actually said "Would you like to help the children?"
