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?

i misunderstoodI used to work in an animal shelter. For the most part I did the glamour jobs-- picking up dog shit, feeding animals, picking up cat shit, sticking them with those giant microchipping needles, picking up more dog shit, hosing off the floors where I picked up the dog shit. It was a great job.
One weekend the adoption staff was short-handed. A family (man, woman, small child) came in wanting to see the dogs, and I was enlisted to show them around and answer questions. What perplexed me was the man's insistent question, "Do you have people?" I must have looked confused because he repeated, "We are looking for people." He must have asked me five or six times to "see some people," before I twigged to the fact that "pit bull" in a heavy spanish accent sounds just like "people."
I had to tell him we didn't have any pit bulls for adoption, and they went away. Probably for the best.
Edit: All I want from stusut79 is to know what "stusut79" means. It's driving me crazy.
