Misheard and MisunderstoodRachelswipe says: My niece - after months of begging - was finally allowed to get a hamster, and her grandfather was utterly horrified to learn that it had been called "Nipples", a pretty good name for a pet if you ask us. Alas, it was only the more mundane "Nibbles" - what have you misheard or misunderstood, with truly hilarious consequences?

I use it at work to unambiguously issue credentials over the phone.About once a week you'll get someone who thinks you're telling them to enter the whole word, not just the initial character.
Oddly enough though, I've never experienced someone who thought of using the word "Number" which precedes a digit, use the word four instead of 4, or the word "symbol" which happens after the non-alphanumerics we use.
