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?

Yet more phone confusionThese phone stories remind of me of when I used to live in Spain. I got a wrong phone number call that went like this:
(translated from original Spanish)
Her: Is Antonio there?
Me: There's no Antonio here, you've dialed the wrong number.
Her: No I haven't. Let me speak to Antonio.
Me: I can't. You've got the wrong number.
Her: Stop messing around and put Antonio on.
Me: How am I supposed to put on someone who doesn't live here? There's me and my partner and NO ANTONIO!
(Long pause)
Her: Well, when you see Antonio, tell him we're finished from now on. (hangs up)
This is what happens when you try to tell a Spanish woman that she's wrong.
