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?

Stusut79Is it wrong that I just shivered in ecstasy when I noticed that you had typed my very own moniker with your purple gummi hands?
WRT the QOTW, my mum (who is Scottish) was on the phone to me recently and was telling me all about her middle aged friends who are just about to retire to the Shetlands. I was only half listening but my ears pricked up when she announced that it was a good thing they can get online at their new place as her friend was into porn films. Incredulously I asked her to repeat what she'd just said and she calmly replied "Chris really likes porn films". Now my mum is the sort of woman who thinks knickers is a swear word and refuses to even hear Graham Norton's name in the house ("that filthy little man") so you can imagine my surprise at her laid back acceptance of her friend's taste in movies. Anyway on further probing it turned out she was saying FOREIGN films. Oh how we laughed.
