I’m constantly reading things quickly(and wrongly). I can’t think of any specifically, but I might read “we must have rapped all night” as “we must have raped all night.”
I think “wha…?” and then re-read it and giggle.
“It’s just not fair…I do all the work while he just sits there” :eek:
Heard this upon entering my Mum’s place of work…stopped dead and considered running away before realising that it was an administrator complaining of her workload as compared to that of her boss
My friends and I have a mailing list we use to keep in touch. I and a nother girl go through the messages at the end of the year and take the best comments out of context and try to use them in a story. It is hilarious.
I was doing payroll data entry last week, and someone had written a notation for one employee “Terminated. No autopsy.” which on closer reading turned out to be “Terminated. No autopay.” Two different things, let me tell you
(I am also the worst lyric-understanding person in the world. It entertains my SO to no end to listen to me singing along with songs.)
Once, many years ago, I was sitting in my bedroom, when I heard my mother coming up the stairs behind our German Shepherd. To this day, she cannot explain what possessed her to say “Woofers and away, oh woof away.” We still laugh about it.
How about this exchange between a co-worker and I earlier today:
Me: (emphatic)“I want to marry you!”
Him: (surprised)"All this over a blue pumpkin?"
It’s a long story . . .
I wish I could find the link, but I once happened upon the webpage of a guy who kept track of the weirdest sentences and exchanges that came up in his and his friends’ conversations over the course of a year. It evolved into kind of a hobby for him, evidently. The result was pretty funny reading, even not knowing what spawned any of it.
In college I was pouring a beer and a young lady said “if you tip it to the side you won’t get any head.” I laughed and poured it straight down into the glass. I still didn’t get any. Some girls are such teases.
