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?

Tourists...I may have posted this story before on B3ta but what the hell...
On an alcohol based trip to Dublin earlier this year with my friends, a middle aged couple approached me. They were wearing brown leather boots, caps and red shirts with yellow check. Yes... they were Americans (no offence)
As annoying as many people as possible with our Yorkshire accents had been the order of the day, I decided to have a little fun with the innocent Yanks:
[American Woman] Excuse me, do you know where the xxx bus goes?
[me] Eee, sorry love, I are't from Dublin.
[American] Ohh, where are you from?
[me] Am from t'England!
[American] Tengland? Where's that?
[me] Just over't sea from t'Ireland!
[American] Ohh Thailand! In Asia!
Not many of you will know what I look like, but I certainly don't look Oriental!
