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?

Americans...When I was about 12, we went to Florida on holiday. There was an American kid about my age staying in the same hotel, and we became friends.
One day we decided to play a game of pool. We set up the table, and he took the break.
He potted one of each type of ball. He then said "Salads."
"Huh?" was my reply. "Salads" he said again.
It took about 5 minutes, but I finally realised he meant "solids"... as in "I will play with the non-striped balls"...
We'd always referred to them as stripes and spots, as the solid ones had a spot with a number in... (ok, so did the ones with stripes, but still...)
