Disclaimer: I really only speak English and just enough Spanish to get myself or possibly someone else in trouble!
I used to work at a German car repair shop and to mess with the guy in the front office, we'd sometimes write up repair orders in "fake German", like "Der Audi be needen der frontbrakerotors und der frontbrakepads" etc.
One day we were feeling particularly punchy and decided to write up some in "real" German, using the words on the parts boxes for guidance. For some reason, the service writer didn't find it funny at all... ;^)
