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?

Our local corner shopis run by an elderly Indian Lady, a few months back on a rainy day in the summer the following conversation transpired:
Me: “Hello... wow, its really raining now!”
Indian Woman: “Yes yes… it is strange… Bombay was very hot; today it was very cold…!”
Me: “Yeah I bet it was, how hot was it in Bombay?”
Indian Woman: “Bombay?! No I never been Bombay… I said one’day it was very hot… today it is cold!”
Now, even to this day she talks to me very very slowly annunciating every word, she does this with a straight face leaving me to explain to friends\girlfriends etc why the shop woman talks to me like a 5 year old.
Perhaps I deserve this for stereotyping!
