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?

Another oneMoving to Germany with no previous German experience proved fun,
On my first night in the country we down to a bar to try and scope it out, 3 beers later I was feeling the need to empty my bladder, so off I toddle to the bogs.
I get to the door marked "Toiletten" and go in only to be confronted by two more doors, one marked "Herren", and one "Damen".
Me being useless at languages I just saw "Herren" and associated it with hers, so I stepped forward into "Da Mens" to find a women doing her make up.
Cue me stumbling out apologising in the loudest English I could muster
