Misunderstood
My 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?

Going to Uni...
i THINK this story is more appropriate
I was at college, lecturers were on my back about filling in the UCAS jobbie.. yeah yeah yeah. Choose at random 4 or 5 different Uni's. It was the early 90's - i spent most of it spaz'd off mi face on pills and weed, sporting (for the time!) a trendy pony tail and fancy 'hyper global colour' t-shirt... remember them? people could see when u were sweating! what a great idea!
Anyways... months later.. i get some unconditional offers, one for a Univerisity in the East Midlands. "Computer Systems for Business" - Sounds canny. i'll do it. (bear in mind - NEVER been to the Uni, NEVER read the prospectus, NEVER looked at the course)
Moved out of home, into halls - Day 1. Choosing some subjects, beardy cheap says "What language?" i say "C++" He says "No - French or German?"
BLEM.
Computer System for BUSINESS - they reckon it's a great idea if half your Computers subjects are actually BUSINESS subjects.
Ahh well. 2 years of "This is a dog" doing GCSE French again. i couldn't be arsed to change courses.
fucksocks.
