Bizarre leaps of logic
Amorous Badger says: "I once humorously suggested that someone had been internet-stalking a Big Brother contestant. They concluded that I was threatening them. What's the oddest misunderstanding you've been involved in?"

Driving through the American South
I fell asleep in the back of the car, and when I woke up we had stopped at a store in what appeared to be the middle of a semi-tropical jungle. The first task as I struggled to wake up was to fill a jug with water. I asked a man where I might fill up the jug, and he pointed at what looked like a scurvy tap. I asked, "Is that water OK?" He replied "Sure, it's city water.' I looked around at the foliage and said disdainfully "WHAT city?" Instant outrage. Apparently the city in question was just out of sight, around a highway bend. I had insulted his fair city and stomped all over his sensibilities. As is every tourist's responsibility, I think.

I live in a city in the American South,
and I find the water highly dubious.
