Misunderstood
My 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?

I hate using the phone.
Calling up a mate for the first time, I was unaware that he was named after his father.
Otopski: "Hey, can I speak to Robert G?"
Father: "Speaking."
Otopski: "Err... [pause] Robert G?"
Father: "Yes, who is speaking?"
Otopski: [Utterly confused] "Uhh... Otopski... Are you sure you're Robert G?"
Father: [impatient] "Look, what is this about?"
Otopski: [whimpering] "I just want to talk to Robert..."
Father: "Oh, are you calling for my son?"
Parents who name their kids after themselves are cunts.
Edit: Oh crap, I've just remembered, in the same vein as Equalizor's post... Phoning up my girlfriend, apologising and generally blubbering. This continuing for about a minute until I hear the bemused words from girlfriend's mother "...Do you want to speak to L?"
Damn their identical voices!
