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?

Working in PortugalI was trying out my Portuguese language skills with my colleagues, about football, I think. I was making some derogatory remark about some player or other, to which a colleague replied "Ha piores," meaning "there are worse."
Unfortunately I heard it as "Up yours."
