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?

Back in my days of innocenceI used to work in a late-night chemist after school. I would usually stay in the shop part on my own, with my colleague manning the drugs part downstairs.
One evening a man came in and started browsing around the shop, clearly looking for something. As a helpful assistant, I asked him if I could help him find anything.
"I'm going to a party", he replied, "Have you got, um, things I can take with me?"
Now, our gift selection was pretty poor, and I pointed this out to him, commenting that perhaps the off licence next door would be a better option, for wine or chocolates.
He just blushed, and said he'd look around himself. Imagine my confusion when he came up to the till with a toothbrush, toothpaste, a packet of razors and a face-cloth. "He must be planning to sleep over" I thought to myself, happily putting his purchases in a bag.
I nearly missed the box of Durex, as it was inexplicably wrapped up in the face cloth. Men, really, they're so daft when it comes to shopping!
