MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

Misunderstanding instructionsMany years ago at Uni went to visit a friend at his house. First time I had met his wife who had a reputation of being a dragon. I was standing, waitng nervously for him with her in the living room when suddenly she yelled "Sit down." I nearly dropped on to the sofa, at which point she started pissing herself laughing. Turns out she was shouting at their- hitherto unseen- pet dog. She was still a very scary person though! Not recent but it sticks in the mind.
More recently I was on holiday in Canada where I had to learn to stop referring to cigarette ends as fag butts, but I guess that's a pretty common one.
