Ex-gf was an amateur actress, long red hair, pale skin, grey eyes. Sitting at the back patio bar one night and she breaks out a Scottish accent with this group, pretending she's just got here and is visiting. Guys are eating this up, everyone asking her questions. Good god this went on for a couple of hours and not a soul suspected. I sat there in awe, kept my trap shut.

This is how Scotland and Wales started in the first place.
aren't they all vikings and pirates?
I met a girl at music clinic who spoke with an British English accent. we became friends over the course of the clinic and one of the last couple days she let me know it was fake. hilarious.
the British accent
Hold back, lads! He doesn't know what he's saying!
I had a temp job in 2006 where I'd have to reply to e-mails for a car insurance company, and it was so mind-numbing I'd be typing out the templates instead of copy-pasting just to pass the time. At a given point I decided to start signing all my e-mails with fake names beginning with R, so Roger, Robbie, Reg... I think I'd flown too close to the sun when the manager stood up and called out, "and who the fuck is Ruddiger?"
I give people fake job titles. Someone on my team handles our AV stuff, including posting to YouTube.
Last week I referred to them as our YouTube Commandant.
I wonder if he's levelled out now that he's finally old enough to drink?
I want to know if that manager is still on heroin.
Having listened to hundreds of audiobooks by professional voice actors from the States, each of which, if attempting a Scottish accent, had sounded like a Geordie shat out a leprechaun with a speech impediment that grew up on Bondi Beach, I would hate to hear this accent
I used to work as a relay operator and I couldn't help myself from taking on the same accent as the voice side if they had a heavy accent.
Oof I still do this when I talk to someone subconsciously and had to remind myself not to do this.
I'm trying to figure out what a relay operator does.
Edit: ok, I guess you probably mean a telephone operator.
in college my buddy chatted up a pretty young woman at a bar with a fake british accent. got her number. convinced her he was from england. afterwards he was like, "i really like her but I think i fucked up." i told him to just call her and fess up, but i think he panicked. no shame.
Doesn't exactly work in Scotland unfortunately
