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?

language pedantMany QOTW posters seem to have misunderstood what the word 'disinterested' means. It means impartial e.g. the judge is disinterested in the outcome of the trial.
The word you're looking for is uninterested.
Complaints/abuse? Bite me, I don't care.
