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?

"You want WHAT in your coffee?!"One time, three of my friends were sharing a student house in Norwich as they were all at the UEA. One of my friends, let's call him Andrew, is a bit of a coffee snob. He would percolate some good stuff and offer it around to the others.
One time he said, "I think I'll have a little cinnamon in my coffee".
My other friend Chris exploded with the line, "You want WHAT in your coffee?!". He had heard it as "I think I'll have a little semen in my coffee" and wondered why the hell Andrew would like that, or even how he found out that it adds a certain zest to the beverage.
I think they stopped laughing about an hour later, heh. The phrase "You want WHAT in your coffee?!" is often used as a general "Did you say what I think you said?!" comment even now, heh.
Also: I've got nothing against Stutz69, I just find his posts really really tedious and off topic. The purpose of these questions is for people to recount real life incidents that are interesting or amusing in some way. Maybe we need a 'Creative Writing With Shock Value of the week' section on here, what do you think?
