I can't say I have a favorite memory of a miscommunication.  So, I guess I don't get to play today. :(

OH! I have one!!!!!!!!!

My partner and I had a little spat one night.

The next day I was at the office, I got a voice mail from my very elderly (and a little adle breained) neighbor: "Mark, Gil has left and he has the dogs with him. I think you should come home". click.

I called the house. No answer. I called Gilbert's portable phone. No answer.

So I closed the clinic, cancled everyone, and ran home thinking "This wasn't a big fight! What the fuck? Where is my dog?".

I get home, and he is sitting outside, smoking. He had gone on a dog walk, and forot a key-- and asked the senile neighbor to call me. lol

My life is a miscommunication. :)

I would have to say when Mia wanted her "woo skiens" and her Uncle Richard who always complained about feeling uncomfortable about her because he couldn't understand what she said looked up at all of us who were confused and lost and said clear as day "She wants her roller skates guys!".

There was one time years and years ago when at work this cute guy always came to our restaurant. He worked in the Mall as well. And he was bugging us girls one time and I said to him, "be nice, I know where you live!! I mean NO.. I mean be nice I know where you WORK!" His eyes got big, I blushed a deep red and ran into the kitchen area, laughing so hard, I could barely breathe. I had no idea where he lived. I didn't even know his name. It was funny, but embarassing at the same time. Not sure that is really a miscommunication, but it was something said incorrectly and damn funny. LOL

"I love you".

I talk way to fast and I'm often misheard!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Voice post?

:D

[eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com]

Never! ;P LOL!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Whyfor?

And do you have a proper Welsh accent? :D

[eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com]

I'm really shy and wouldn't know what to say.

I personally don't think I have a welsh accent but to some Americans who have heard me, they say otherwise.

I have less of an accent than most welsh people.

My voice posts... I go in with intent, but no clue what to say... :D

Well... I probably wouldn't detect much of an accent :D

[eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com]

There are different levels of welsh in someones accent. Someone deep who lives in the valleys/countryside has a very broad thick welsh accent. Someone like me, a city girl, has less of a singy-songy lingering lilt to my speech. It's weird. You can probably tell I'm from wales from the way I talk but I don't sound like Charlotte Church. At least I don't think so =P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah... The sing-song lilt is interesting to listen to... :D

City life just speeds things up :D
