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.

Who?

No, Why.

Once the butler placed the starter cutlery on the inside!!!! Aunt Cynthia had her lorgnette to her nose in the time it takes a person to jump from a bally wasp sting!

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.

Yes.

Them?

This whole thread is an example of the problem with boards,
I will break it all down for you and I apologize in advance for the detail which I will be using,

A quick note,

When you “Thank a post” it is because you agree with what the poster has said or you thought it was funny, Occasionally it came mean, I don’t agree with you but I can see your side of the story.

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?

The op insulted everyone who didn`t understand what spelt pasta by claiming their
“Inate intelligence” which is the wrong spelling and pretty funny considering that what he is really doing is insulting himself, however spelling mistakes don’t bother me
and this is only relevant because of other people posts etc,

What the hell is spelt pasta?

Yes, i actually presumed that the OP was looking for alphabet pasta when i saw it!

The following people thanked the op and then went to thank a poster who pointed out he had to google spelt pasta, I am guessing the majority did because they had to google spelt pasta also, yet thanked the op for insulting them
babyfratelli_x, earthhorse ,king felix, raveni, sadie sue, tomebagel…. Phasers

Clived2,
jeez lighten up. I said that I thought it showed intelligence on his part.
And it´s delusions of grandeur, not illusions.

Next after my post, which I admit was a bit harsh, the op tries to correct my English, which is funny considering his post is full of poor English which I didn’t try to correct, I actually prove him wrong again which he chooses to ignore,

clived2 wrote: »

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

Yes your right, thanks for the correction,
Must be my inate intelligence

mikom wrote: »

Innate...

Next someone tries to correct my spelling of inate intelligence, which they would be right, however I was using the op spelling in his hilarious insult to an innocent bystander,

4 people thank the poster, probably thinking, yeah you just made a fool of him,

Who probably didn’t read the whole thread which happens quite a lot,
around here

Exactly, I was using
the op spelling because clearly he could never be wrong

I inform that poster of what I was doing and he realises and accepts it




To all those people who made fun of me, thanks they were quite funny ( not sarcasm)
And yes this post is tl:dr pedantic, childish, And I prob get a ban, but at least i said what happened,

It's spelt "Innate"

Actually, the only person whose posts I find insulting on this thread are yours because you assume to know why I thank people's posts and when I've been insulted.

I thanked the OP's post because it was an amusing story and, I felt, a good topic for a thread but one which you have fairly successfully managed to derail.

I thanked Biko's post because it reflected my own knowledge, or rather lack thereof, of Spelt Pasta, so I was just illustrating the fact that he wasn't the only one who hadn't heard of it before.

The OPs use of the words "innate intelligence" are neither here nor there; he's making a post on After Hours, the spirit of which is to invite people to share amusing anecdotes, not publishing a paper into the problem solving skills of shop assistants.

Most of us have a sense of humour about ourselves and this thread, it's a pity you can't join in the spirit of that.

No harm in defending innocent workers from unjust insults,

Although it might not appear it, in this thread, I have a sense of humour,
However at the expense of innocent people, who cant even defend themselves, I dont find it funny.

This is what I said you thanked the post for,The op insults you for not knowing this, why are you disagreeing with this.

I will not argue with you because I am going to get a ban, and will not be able to respond to any posts, which I know, I am only one person against everyone else`s opinion,
