This happens to me as well. When I was in Ireland, my roommates were all from the East Coast, mostly from Boston. One day, we were at a pub, and I see a guy wearing a Wisconsin sweatshirt. I go to talk to him, and all of my roommates told me how thick my accent became when 'the Sconnies' got together.
