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?

More phone confusion...All the talk of phonecalls has reminded me of something.
I had got into a big argument with a friend at school, it was a fairly common occurance and ocasionaly escalated to the level at which backing down becomes far more significant than it should be. (It is also helpful to point out that I was about 14 at the time.)
Anyway, it was fairly near the end of the day and thus I went home still grumbling and not talking to him. However as I cooled down a bit I realised that my reaction was probably OTT and I should at least make steps to apologise. So I phoned up and made a fairly convoluted appology. Once I had finished the voice on the end of the line replied, "So I'll just go and get Ben for you shall I?" as I had spent the last five minutes apologising to his Dad.
