Something for sharing.
I am sure many of us have the experience of the below
When we say something and the other party reply another
Nothing hurting or harmful, we just take it as a pinch of salt
Miscommunication will then turn to jokes for us to chuckle
I wanted to buy a glass of soya bean drink
So to the hawker, I said “give me a glass please”
The hawker may be joking or serious, he said
“We only sell, but not going to give”
Once I was sitting and a cheeky manager stared at my skirt
He asked me to stand up, turn one round and pose
“Why must I? I’m not your model? You make me feel cheap”
He said “I did not say your skirt is cheap, no, no, no”
I had meal with two men in a Western restaurant
They had steaks while I had my fish and chips
One guy said he preferred medium for his steak
Another guy said medium too, neither small nor big
Someone telephoned my colleague without mentioning his name
I thought he was a client so asked where he was calling from
He thought I was asking the venue where he was standing making call
“XYZ MRT Station, I am here, using public phone as did not bring handphone”
A client telephoned while I was having my lunch at desk
Out of courtesy I asked him whether he had taken his meal
“I took a bowl of oily laksa, now my stomach a bit funny I think”"
Hello, are we close, must tell me what happened to his stomach, in details?
Above were just mis-communication between people
They were my real encounter in the past few years
There were more but I can’t recall at this very moment
Once I can recall I may come with volume 2 for sure

Nice Share.
Why did you ask about his lunch if you didn’t want to know? 
lol
Yeah,I guess we Asians have the habit of asking people if they have had their meals. I am an Indian and this practise is prevelant in India also
very nicely presented and very enjoyable to read too. miscommunication is something that happens so often. it seems to all be a game of words. i liked this article very much. thanks for creating and sharing.
miscommunication should not have barriers i hope one day.
Very interesting. This kind of miscommunication often happens and whenever you remember them, they always give you a smile or even a good laugh. Thanks for sharing. You make my days. 
Volume 2 still in the making? I can’t wait! You are an amusing writer Star. Never fails to bring a smile or a good laugh
