Amusing Misunderstandings

njals_saga

I was recently grocery shopping and was having trouble locationg spelt pasta. So naturally I asked one of the store workers where the spelt pasta was.
He pondered for a few moments but then with a lightbulb moment expression directed me down the aisle to the alphabet spaghetti.
Although it may sound dumb I think that this showed an inate intelligence on his part.
So has anyone else here had an amusing misunderstanding?

Was once with a Eastern European hooker who removed all her jewellery and dropped them on my cock.

We had a good old laugh afterwards when I better explained just what a golden shower was.

Ah, I remember failing my audition for Romeo in the school play.
All because of misunderstanding a simple stage direction.
My copy of the script clearly said: "Enter Juliet from the rear."

Something you'd need to have done in order to write a review of an Italian restaurant.

I answered an advert in the newspaper about a woman who wanted to be eaten out by a man.

Well I showed up at her house. She was this sexy polish bird with huge baps and a slim toned body. She invited me in and said he hasn't had a man in a while and she apologised if she was nervous. Of course I didn't care!

So She went into the kitchen and returned with 2 steak knifes!
Turns out She wanted to "Eat" a man. She was a cannibal. It was such a terrible misinterpritation.

She was terribly embarrassed and asked if there was anything she could do to apologise.
Kinda felt bad for her, so I let her suck sausage:D

I wouldnt normally do this, but you really sound like a right asshole.
You post although quite short reeks of a person with illiusions of grandeur,
from condescending opinions to quick snapping judgements, and an insullt thrown in there for no reason at all.
And with regard to your retort, Please dont claim, because it was a store person, they should know where every speciailiaty health type food item is located, They might just work on 1 aisle etc, Next you will probably assume* I work in a supermarket and hence the reason for my post, is because you have offended me, well I dont and it doesnt make any difference.

*Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of egotism, for it permits us to assume superiority without personal boasting.

A couple of years ago a group of friends and I were out on Tramore beach. We were watching the waves crash in and generally admiring the view when I was sure I heard one of my friends saying "Look a white pheasant"...to which I replied "eh no Id say that was a seagull"....

she actually said "Look its quite pleasant"....

And it´s delusions of grandeur, not illusions.

There are loads of examples of people using that statement, however the op clearly knows what is best for all.

Years ago, my friend told me that someone had admired her Mam's hair, and asked her where she got it done.
"Curl Up and Dye", she says, that being the name of the salon:)
"Jesus, I was only asking where you got your hair done:mad:", came the reply!!

AnonoBoy

I had music on last night and my housemate asked me who I was listening to.

"Why?" I said.

"Jesus, I was just wondering."

I was a bit drunk so I thought he was being a dick until I realised that he didn't know there's a band called Why?.

Oh how we laughed.

wolfpawnat

When I was about 39 weeks pregnant. I went to the Bodieshibition in Dublin with my partner and a few of our friends. We went out for something to eat afterwards and I ordered my meal and a pint of milk, the waitress leaves and arrives back with my drink................A pint of Miller. My friends and I just stared in disbelief! When I said I ordered milk the waitress apologized and then said she didn't really undersstand what I had said first!!!

I really liked that episode of Three's Company, where there was an amusing misunderstanding.

Did it turn green afterwards ?

Sea Sharp

A friend of mine was giving a speech that he was extremely nervous about. Myself and another friend came along to show support.
About 30 seconds in the other dude whispered to me: "Don't forget to clap".
I misheard him as saying "He's crap" and proceeded to break my sh1t laughing in one of those uncontrollable, you know you shouldn't but can't keep it in, kind of ways. This caused the person giving the speech to forget what they were suppose to be saying and defeated the whole purpose of me being there.

The thread is called Amusing misunderstandings

Sound Bite

This happened a girl I know & it still makes me laugh.

When she was in school she broke her arm after a fall in P.E. class. Doctor who treated her in casualty was foreign and obviously missunderstood her explanation how the accident happened. While sitting in the Xray waiting room she read her notes, which said "patient injured arm by falling off the toliet".

Mortified she told a nurse so she could have her chart changed but ended up becoming the laugh of the A & E deparment. Doc thought she'd said it happened while she was having a pee!
