A friend of mine had an argument with an American bank teller who asked her which Germany she was from, because "I know there are two". My friend tried to explain to her that this was no longer the case, but eventually gave up and just said she was from West Germany. The teller replied "Thank you!" in the most sarcastic tone and proceeded to do the bank things she was there for.
This was in 2008.
