Since we are mentioning our experiences from working enviroment, I will throw in my own. I am working in IT department of a European insurance company. My team is as multicultural as it can be, I have colleagues from India, Nepal, Armenia, Nigeria, Greece, Vietnam, Ghana, Russia etc. Sometimes we do patching that has to be done over night. It's a long, boring process, but also a perfect time to watch some Flames hockey, given the timezone.
One of my colleagues is from Nigeria, great guy. Loves pro sports and betting, diehard Real Madrid fan. Grew up in London and never came across hockey before, so I am trying to get him into it. It's hilarious when we watch a game and he gets confused seeing a goalie skating to the bench because of a signalized penalty. So two days ago we were watching the game against the Pens, I was checking CP meanwhile and then that thing came out. You should have seen my buddy's face. He was like:"Oh.. here we go again..". I felt pretty embarrased to be honest.
