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?

When my girlfriend was at a training day, I was just wondering around Bathwhen I found out the trains are a bit.. fucked (anyone who travels on that Bristol - Portsmouth line will know what I mean; I get a coach instead until they're done). I needed £10 to get home, and I knew her Mum (who I get on very well with ^^) was in town - so I gave her a ring. No answer, fair-enough I thought- she's driving home!
Later on - my phone rings - and it's my girlfriend, odd I think - she's still in her training thing (which she'd been terrified about, especially phones going off and things). She says "Uh hi, you rang me?". And I panic. Oh dear oh dear do I panic. It takes about two minutes of apoligising for me to realise;
1. My Girlfriend sounds very much like her Mum
2. Her Mum had called me from home, and in my panic I'd failed to see the "home phone" icon next to my girlfriend's name when she called me. Not her mobile.
3. That I'd made myself look a little bit silly.
:(
