I find it ridiculous that a Spanish person in the US expects me to understand them in Spanish without even asking me first if I spoke the language or at least attempting to speak English at first. Now, if I lived in Mexico, Latin America, or Spain, I don't see the problem since it's the official language.
It's one thing if you can't speak English at all (or whatever language is official or most commonly used in the country) but it's very arrogant to expect people to understand your language without question. Usually, I'll reply to these folks in Chinese (my native language).. hey, if they expect me to know Spanish, I'm expecting them to understand Chinese.
