This thread died too young.

Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes": I heard the chorus as "All the boys think she's a spy/she's got better days aside" (to me it meant that she was putting up with some shit now, but she would get hers in the end, which upholds the diva-loving qualities that the song is all about).

I thought a colleague just called me "My sweet child", as in o' mine, but what she really said was "I switch off".

Last Christmas I dropped round my Mum's house to wish her the best. Her boyfriend, Mike, of about 5 years is also visiting. As I take off my jacket and shoes while coming in the door I am telling them about how my Dad's managed to get a whole load of old family Super-8 films onto DVD. Mike pipes up
"Do you think it would be possible to get your mother a coffee?"
I'm bewildered. I've literally just got in and now my Mum's boyfriend is ordering me around the house as if I'm 10 and he's my stepdad. Not wanting to appear discourteous, especially at Christmas, I say "sure" and pad off to the kitchen.
"How many sugars does everyone want?" etc... I'm actually quite cross about this, muttering under my breath about stupid Mike telling me what to do like a kid..
I come back with two coffees.
"Aren't you having one?" asks my Mum. "Oh no thanks, I don't really drink coffee" "Then why did you make it?" "Mike said to make you a coffee" "Huh?"
Turns out he'd been asking nicely if I could possibly get her a copy of the Super-8 DVD from my Dad.

Told a coworker I went to a tapas place for dinner.
"Yeah! All right!"

No, not topless...

I also once misheard tapas as topless when a co-worker suggested a restaurant.
At another time a guy pops into the cube asking if I'd seen his camel. It took a few repetas to realize he was asking if I knew where my cube-mate, Mike Hammell, was. Had known Mike for years but never made the Mike Hammell / my camel connection. Good thing his last name wasn't Hunt.
