An honest mistake...

[PriestessModwena]

I really need cheering up!

The boys have gone away this weekend, I get random lyrics in my head, I was thinking about 'You're my best friend' by Queen. I sent it to my OH half saying this is perfect for his best mate who was with him & himself.

(Don't start sipping your morning coffee after this bit or you might choke!)

I text a few times to see if they'd gone to bed, as was meant to get a call. I got that call, it didn't help I'm a cup half full type of person. So as he was going on about how horrid I was for sending it, no matter how much I protested I thought it was a sweet song about best friends, when he quoted various lyrics, I couldn't stop laughing. My OH thinks I'm actually evil.

So I wondered what have other people done as a wholly innocent mistake that went very very wrong.

No texts this morning or phonecalls, tried to call but got through to answer machine. I've got a feeling I'm definitely not in good books still.

@AnyFucker - I was thinking of some sort of secret code, only we understand (Joking) We don't talk via song lyrics, it's not unknown that I'll get a text saying listen to this song, or this is stuck in my head, or he'll be singing something and I wonder what the context is.

@thetimekeeper - He'll just say, "What were you doing? I thought you'd have called / text." Posed in a what was more important / exciting kind of way...

Now I've had time to think it through, IWBU for laughing, it didn't help matters. No malice was intended though.

That’s not even close to the time my brother needed a first dance song for his wedding and almost chose “Lola” by the Kinks

My Dad and I laughed our asses of while he couldn’t see what was wrong. He kept saying “I love that song” We did eventually tell him he could have it he wanted to but his wife may not be impressed.

This thread puts me in mind of that Catherine Tate couple who think they're the funniest thing since sliced bread. They'll regale some deathly dull thing that happened to them, all the while hyperventilating, laughing.

I don't see how laughing about something innocently amusing like this is a problem.

He'll just say, "What were you doing? I thought you'd have called / text." Posed in a what was more important / exciting kind of way...

So he does that any time you do anything without him?

I’ve come to the conclusion that modern life has reached the point at which some people are simply unable to communicate clearly. It’s not that they’re not trying; they are genuinely incomprehensible.
