Door spring confusion.I used to work with a guy who, when he was about 5 years old, was in a shop with his Mum. While she was busy chatting to a friend he was engrossed in watching the big door spring that made the door close after each person went through it.
Curious to know what this thing was called he tugged at his Mum's sleeve to try and ask her. Mum, busily nattering to said friend, ignored the child. This went on for a short while until she somewhat testily asked him what he wanted. At this precise moment a woman walked through the door with a Dalmatian on a lead. Gesticulating in the general direction of the door the young boy asked, "What's that called?", to which his mother replied, "A Dalmatian."
He claims to have reached well into his 40's before he realised door springs are not called Dalmatians. How sweet!
