This is a question Misunderstood

My 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?

Inane but short
In the 6th or 7th grade I was inviting someone to my birthday party (I think; maybe she had invited me to her party) and called them at their house. Now, I hate calling people, especially people I've never called before...

Me: Hello?
Woman: Yes?
Me: Is Crystal there?
Woman: Who is this?
Me: Who is this?
Woman: Who are you?!
Me: Who are you?!
One of us: (Hangs up)
.....
My mom: What happened?
Me: Some woman answered Crystal's phone!
Mom: Could it have been her mother?
Me: ...oh.

So my mom had to call Crystal's mother and apologize for me; fortunately things were smoothed out and the party was fun, but God I still hate making phone calls.
