Goofy misunderstandings. What goofy misunderstandings have happened to you? (see details)?

LOL. I think those were my questions. Yeah, I'm the K-cup girl---just not in that sense.

I only use K-cups for my coffee machine, I swear. I was unaware that they made bras that big until I saw something on an episode of Jerry Springer one time. (You should check that out some time.) Misunderstandings like this happen to me quite often, actually.

I think it has to do with the fact that I am often more figurative about things when other people are very literal. I frequently think that people are trying to be figurative or create a pun with something, when really, they are just making a straight-forward statement about something. This is also why I tend to see humor in a lot of things that most people don't.

I am always laughing about something when my friends have no idea what I am talking about---something someone said, a sign that wasn't necessarily intended to be funny, etc. When I was married, my husband worked with pipe. He helped to build oil field machinery. Needless to say, there were a lot of late night misunderstandings about what he did at work.

He would come home and say, "I am sorry I am late. I had more pipe to lay. " Or, "I got stuck at the shop cleaning pipe.

" I always thought maybe he was being figurative, but he really was telling the truth.(Also, it turns out that what I thought was stripper glitter on his arms was actually metal grinding dust. Silly me. ) Recently, a friend of mine that works for a medical supply company gave me a bunch of tubes of medical grade silicone.

That stuff is great for fixing things, insulating around windows and doors, and sealing off bathtubs and sinks. I really didn't have a lot of use for it, though, and I gave most of it to another one of my friends instead. Apparently, this friend had no idea what silicone was.

She thought that I was giving her twenty tubes of personal lubricant (like KY jelly). She called me and told me that I had given her something else by mistake and asked me what the silicone was for. I told her is was for "bondage.

" Again, I think she misunderstood, and she asked me to come back and get it, saying that her and her husband didn't "need any of that kind of stuff" in their house. Even though it wasn't really my misunderstanding, I was kind of embarrassed by it all. All I can say is, thank goodness she did not decide to use it in the manner she was thinking of.

I think I kind of had a similar misunderstanding when @buddawiggi kept talking about his "Love Sac" as well. Did you say "K cup" or "cone cup?

As a young girl my mother asked me to wash the "greens" so she could cook them. I placed them in the sink with dish liquid and lathered them up. When my mom came in she shrieked "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

I said "You told me to wash them so I am. " Her response was "Well, I thought you knew NOT to use soap! " I had no idea that I my washing could have caused the entire family a case of diarrhea.

When others hear this story they compare me to Lucille Ball on I LOVE LUCY when she scrubbed the chicken with cleanser (Comet, Ajax).

As a sixteen year old basketball player, I answered the phone one evening to hear the other party ask if this was Doug. "Yeah, I'm Doug", I said. "Well do you need a ride to basketball practice tonight?" "Sure, what time?

" "How about 7:00? " "Wait a minute, isn't practice a 6:00 at Central " "Nope, 7:30 at the YMCA.." It was a wrong number. They were calling a different "Doug" on a different team.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
