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 must've been about eight...
and I was waiting in the front of a store while my mother picked something up a few feet away. Bored, I begin looking around and reading things I saw out loud. My mother came tearing across the store bringing hellfire and brimstone with her when she heard me standing in public, practically shouting "Nigger! Nigger!"
There was a map on the wall and I was calling out country names in my boredom; how was an eight-year-old supposed to know how Niger is pronounced?
