Client Miscommunication Fan Prints

Client speaking to a legal advisor

Staff. Manager. So then you must say "I refuse to lift weights." Hey, that's not what I expected when I hired you to be a resistance training instructor!

Debbie greatly misinterpreted the marriage counselor's suggestion that she and Tom have a monthly 'date night.'

"No, a dressing down day isn't an opportunity to bollock the staff."

"Fulfilling others on Thanksgiving is pretty good advice, wouldn't you say?"

"When you promised me 'a set of wheels', I assumed a company car."

"So tell me, Wallace. Has someone gobbled up my Viagra again?" "No. Wait. I thought they were delicious candy mints!"

Communication Breakdowns

"Here's another fine mess you've gotten us into."

'I meant bring your fishing tackle.'

"Elective surgery? But I'm not even registered to vote!"

'She's throwing a dinner party - Just for me...'

"Excuse me, but it's GREG, Greg Chalmers."

'Not scream, you morons! I said screen pass! Set up a screen pass!'

"I thought you said you were dating a rich doctor!"

"When you said you were taking me south on vacation I assumed you meant to the tropics."

Public Meetings: 'If you check the guide it's clear that you only need to say 'chair'.'

'I could have sworn you asked if I wanted to go to the saloon.'

"No, what I said was we need more stakeholders."

'Chapman, you misunderstood what I said about the Clark account. I said mull it over.'

Shoot...not literally, of course.

Sea kelp? I said "seek help"!

"Just wanted to make sure you said no mayo that way I'll know to give you extra."

'ARRRGH you idiot,you idiot!!' 'When i said take the Don out, i MEANT for lunch!!' (a stupid mob guy kills the boss)

"There's a man at the door with a wooden leg."

The Embarrassment of Van Gogh

'Oh, your mouth is saying 'Bow wow', Dolores, but your eyes are saying 'Woof'!'

When I said, Do you want to go out> I meant to pee, not on a date.

"Perhaps I should clarify. When I said to drink plenty of fluids ..."

"You said you wanted an Easter-related present."

"My mistake Guvnor - I thought you said CRAP circles!"

You were right -- She's not trying to high-five us!

"I'm not sure you see my point of view..." "From down here I'd say that's probably true!"

"Size 16? Sorry, I thought you said 61."

"Honey, I got a brand-new bow for our car!"
