Funny Misunderstandings

Archive: 61 posts


Since there are so many states, countries, continents, cultures, languages, etc., I'm sure lots of people have experienced funny misunderstandings with their friends either on this site or in LBP.

Here's one that took place a few weeks ago:

I was in my UK friend's pod when he asked another of our friends, "How's the walnut business?" Our other friend who is from Texas just stood there perplexed then said, "If you're talking to me I'm not in the walnut business." My UK friend said, "I swore you told me you worked in walnuts." The Texan said, "No, man. I work for Walmart!" We had a good, long laugh about that one!

Feel free to post your funny misunderstanding.

I once mistaked myself for being human. Turns out I'm a zombie.

Anyways, I thought KernelM was a girl.

Alright being serious here, it's embarrassing. :blush:


When I first joined the site I thought rtm was a girl because of his English tone of voice and purple sackboy.

In fact, I have major gender prediction problems. Is juleyjules a boy or a girl? It might have to do with the name Julia.

a lot of people thought I was a guy for some reason. I guess it makes sense. I am a bit of a tomboy. I used to get messages on my "Making Dark Matter Float In LBP" video all the time that said "R U A GIRL?"

Quite a few people have mistaken me for a girl, which I largely find amusing.

ARD thought I was 14 / 15, quite recently, which was moderately baffling but then again, up until halfway (about 2 months!) through the logicpack project I thought ConfusedCartman was around 30! I also misread mrssupercomputer for a good while when I was new round here.

Yes, I always thought that Mrs. Upercomputer was a weird name for someone. I also thought that Confused Cartman was in his 30's. In fact, i thought he was older than me. 2010-03-11 17:10:00

Because my PSN name is Jirugameshi, I've gotten a few comments in Japanese on my levels. I haven't been able to decode them because they use kanji I haven't learned. So I don't know whether they're saying good things, or just want me to heart them back lol.2010-03-11 17:14:00

So did I, until you mentioned getting a beer or something like that a few weeks ago...
Of course that doesn't mean anything these days.

In all seriousness I always thought rtm was a girl until reading that. :blush: sowwy rtm.

And I always thought it was Mrs. UperComputer to .

It think it has to do with the way the brain reads words instead of individual letters that mrsupercomputer seems like mrs.

I thought he was a girl to, and his old avatar had some girl with a video game helmet on

I thought for the longest time KernelM was a girl... I swear, it's your signature, Kernel!!

I also thought that jump_button and ladylyn were also girls, and that Whaaaale, ConfusedCartman and RockSauron were MUCH older.

Also, I thought posts in the Forum Games were added to my total... they aren't. So, about 1/2-2/3 of all of my posts aren't registered.

And finally... I always confuse Morgana25 and TheCountessZ as sisters and poorjack as my long-lost brother.

Same here. until now. :blush:
Dude/dudette!(just covering my bases), You gotta show me that level! I love flapjack!

In real life, when the roll call is read out by a teacher for the first time, EVERY dang teacher assumes i'm a female because my last name can be easily mistaken for a girls first name (gillian). I won't say my real name/s for obvious reasons.
And because the last name comes first on roll call, they gosh darn say it how it is written. Even though they don't do that for anyone else!
It's happened all my life without fail, and I have to correct them every time.
It's very annoying but I just laugh it off, with everyone else.

...I used to think that Easter Island was where they kept all the bunnies...

Oh, and I used to do the same thing with Mrs. UperComputer, even though I knew that was probably wrong.

Heh, I tend to hang out with german players, while knowing NO german. Luckily, they do speak english!

The thing is that for quite a while, I happily said "Ich Liebe dich" to almost everyone, because in my mind that meant something like "Nice to meet you!"
Turns out it meant I LOVE YOU.

What is curious about this, is that nobody pointed out that it was weird that I went saying that so carelessly all around, and that I ended up with a friend list nearly filled up with german players. I'm not sure I really want to know why did they add me so quickly after playing with me.
