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?

Foreigners inspire panicGarbled message on the phone from crazy belgian who at the time was rather lacking in English:
"Rosi... car... smash. Emma bag stolen... gun... head!"
Cue me and friends at a party panicking that said friends had been robbed at gunpoint after a car crash. When they all turned up half an hour later, it emerged that what had actually happened was that someone had smashed Rosi's car window and stolen Emma's bag, which contained the expensive "hair gun" (used for putting in extensions).
No car crash. No gunpoint holdup. No reason for the utter distress of a roomful of people. Jesus!
