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?

ToffeeI was at a party, the music was loud, and out of the blue a rather nice young lady starts up a conversation with me. I don't catch what she said at first, so I leaned in a little closer and asked her to repeat. No, I couldn't understand a word she was saying and thought I knew why.
"Are you chewing on a toffee?" I ask her innocently, at which point I'm hastily dragged to the side by a mate.
"She's deaf, you tight bastard"
My first true foot-in-mouth experience, of which many more have followed over the passing years.
