Was backpacking in another country and quickly ordering breakfast from a place our guide was familiar with while waiting for a bus to arrive.
Ordered a veggie sandwich, assuming it would come with a variety of things, but my guide knew I wanted no animal products and explained it to them. They came back with a plate of plain white bread and lettuce because they took off the cheese, mayo, and whatever else they'd normally put on it.
They thought it was really funny and honestly I did too so I just asked for some peanut butter and ate the bread up. Woulda been annoyed if I was at home, but can only control so much when theres's a language barrier and you're in a completely different country where the word 'vegan' only entered the lexicon in the last 2 years.
Edit: I did get annoyed at another restaurant in the same country because the way they do their menus is that they have a regular one and a vegan one and everything has the exact same name. So you have to specifically say you're ordering from the vegan menu or else you get something smothered in cheese. But I didn't know that because I had only seen the vegan menu. Shoulda been more cautious though.
