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?

Waterbit of background..
As builders are useless in the UK, when resurfacing the road outside the house they decided to dig through the water main. No water for 2 days.
BTW, this story is lame but i wanted to "feel" part of the community
So, off I trot to the local "indian" (pick a country over there) to buy bottled water. Its not far away so making polite conversation I asked "do you have running water today?". His response was "no, all our water is bottled, we'll get a delivery on monday". I looked confused and but carried on with "Oh, ok....so you don't have running water". response "no, delivery on monday".My Response "no, the water outside, you know the leak?". reponse "no one is selling water outside"
This went on a few minutes until I gave up. He thinks I'm crazy now, crazy or stupid.
