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?

Floppy MadnessA long, long time ago, I worked for a company that did payroll software and I sometimes had to cover the helpdesk. If the problem was non-obvious, we would always ask for them to send a copy of the payroll disk so we could check it out.
One morning we received, in response to the usual request, an A4 sheet of paper with a perfect photocopy of the payroll disk.
After much guffawing around the office we phoned the customer and explained what was required. Next day, the floppy arrived. With a compliments slip stapled right through it....
