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?

i need a sheetin the cue in the bedding/homeware floor of a large, but slightly run-down dublin department store. in front of me is an eastern european woman with two children. she keeps asking the woman at the counter. 'i need sheets. where are sheets?' the woman behind the counter looks really embarrassed and then leans in close the eastern european woman and says in a broad dublin accent ' da jacks (dublin slang for toilet) are over der love but i wouldn't use em for a shite if i was you'.
i can maybe understand confusing sheet and shit... but not when you're working in a department filled with pillows, duvets and... sheets.
