Not always but frequently I seem to get divers who either do not believe me when I hand single them my remaining gas or want to visual examine my pressure gauge, I dive with a PSI gauge. I have been thinking of doing things differently, like routing my primary 2nd stage over my left shoulder rather than the standard right shoulder, (adopting the gear configurations used in Europe). These changes have provided me with only slight entertainment.
Has anyone switched to BAR for use in the USA? what reactions did you get if any?
(When people ask me the time, I give it to them in 24 hour clock because all my time pieces are set to 24 hour)
Sorry, I have a great sense of humour and a fondness for practical jokes, but I really don't understand why you want to mess with people underwater.
If the only reason you want a SPG with a BAR scale is to mess with people, you have a problem.

Having dived in a number of countries with varying units, I see no issue as long as YOU AND YOUR BUDDY are familiar with what you have. That it is feet/metres PSI/BAR means little. The confusion arises when you are paired with someone with different units on their rig. In that instance, you should only dive if you are confident enough. If you are a nervous diver, then leave it alone and either find a buddy with your units or don't dive. You will have enough issues if things go wrong, without the worry of differing units.
You miss the point - he is TRYING to create confusion.
