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?

Last one just reminded meof when I was in Budapest staying with friends. One of them had a birthday so I went to the local mall to get her a new cd. After perusing for a sufficient amount of time I made my choice and went to the till.
Hungarian is hard as fuck so I said (handing over cd and vaguely gesticulating):
"Nem tudom Magyarul (I don't speak Hungarian), could you wrap this for me please?"
The bloke looked at me with extreme nervousness and seemed completely at a loss for the few English words he had at his command.
"Please, I... I don't know how, but rap section iss overr therre..."
