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…

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

Because I didn't find the OP's post insulting. Why do you find that so difficult to understand?

Maybe clived2 is some sort of comic genius and trying to clog a thread titled "Amusing Misunderstandings" with one of his own, in an Andy Kauffman-esque awkward manner.

the thread is called 'amusing misunderstandings' not 'attack a boardsie for thanking a post'.... Clived2 really took the fun out of it

My lesbian neighbours bought me a Rolex for my birthday.
They misunderstood when I had said "I wanna watch"

Was having a chat with a 65 yr old man about his night out. He was telling me it was a great night, ended up in a karaoke bar but that he lost his phone and glasses in a "topless bar". Could barely keep a straight face.

When I got my husband on my own I remarked on X telling us he was in a topless bar. My husband laughed said he knew by my face that that was what I thought I had heard but that he had actually lost his stuff in a "Tapas bar"!

Gave my husband and I laugh! Quite amusing!

My girlfriend, only up to about a year ago though that "Plant hire" was for people to actually hire plants. I only found out when we were driving to Sligo and she went on a rant about people renting plants. I let her go for about 5 minutes and then just looked at her like this :rolleyes:

I was in a Spar a while ago with the boyfriend when a woman walked in and asked the man at the till for candles. The man said "Yeah, sure" and handed over a box of Durex!
She looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her up! Oh how we giggled! Poor woman!

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

That was an episode of The IT Crowd was it not?

OOh I have a story of and amusing misunderstanding.

My sister like myself is from Kerry her husband is from cork they both live in cork. When they had their first son my brother mailed down a child size Kerry jersey as a piss take. our nephew would wear it when visiting us and if kerry were playing. it was his 'Kerry jersey' his father a huge cork football fan decided that he need to get his son a Cork jersey.

Our nephew referred to his Kerry Jersey as his Green Kerry Jersey. and the Cork football Jersey as his Red Kerry Jersey.

Very good.

I had a great laugh today at the thread about bangers being thrown at a car.

This poster misunderstood completely!

A guy was telling me a fairly incredulous story. When he finished, I said "ah fúck off", he thaught I was being incredulous, when in actual fact I was telling him to fúck off.
