Anyone have Telepathy....

OK.

Classic:

"Why didn't you do what I said?"

"Because you did not SAY that."

"It was what I meant, you should know that!"

How the hell are you going to deal with that?

I can understand that if they accidentally say "kill the dog" that they probably don't mean it, but simple things like abridging a sentence because your thoughts are already far ahead of what you are thinking, or using the wrong pronoun (you, we, me) can dramatically change the meaning of a statement.


"Do I have to spell everything out for you??!?"

Um, yeah, but it would also help if you had a spell checker.

I'd love to know how many things have gone wrong in dictatorships because of that sort of thing.

"Wait, what'd he say? He wants a chicken to leap on Tuesdays???"

"Um...I don't know either. I'm sure as hell not going to go bother him though, you know how he gets when he has to repeat himself."

"Ok, well, I'll just figure out something I guess."



Along these lines, when someone asks a question which requires a detailed answer, and you use terminology which is intended to convey specific meaning to answer the question - then they just skim through it, reword the question, and ask it again. So then you're left with giving them a simple answer that's only partially accurate - then they take that as the 100% gospel truth, which invariably comes back to bite you in the ass.

"How does a nuclear reactor work?"

"It works rather well."

"How does a nuclear reactor work?"

"It works rather well."

But not on Tuesdays.

That's Chicken Leap Day.
