I remember sitting going to a restaurant once with a group of friends. We’d been placed under a speaker that was blaring music, and making it quite difficult to have any sort of conversation. When the waiter arrived, I ordered my meal, and a Coca-Cola. “And could you turn that softer, please?” I asked, as I pointed to the speaker above my head. I noted his slight look of confusion as he wrote down the order, turned and walked towards the kitchen. Moments later, he was back. “Excuse me, Mam," he said. "I’m just not sure I understand how we turn the coke softer.” Needless to say, everyone at the table burst out laughing as I clarified it was the music that needed to be turned softer, the Coke was fine as is.
With more than 8 billion people in the world, and thousands of different languages and accents, there are bound to be more than a few misunderstandings between us. Some miscommunications can have dire consequences and lead to mass chaos. Others are just plain hilarious. People have been sharing the funniest times someone totally misunderstood the words, picture or assignment.
Bored Panda has picked our favorites and compiled list for your viewing pleasure. From a purse being mistaken for a dog, to some more than mildly embarrassing words being engraved on a tombstone, there's enough here to have you rolling on the floor with laughter.

We've Been Trying To Teach Him To Drop Toys In The Bucket Before He Goes Outside. He Clearly Misunderstood
trixiefly11 9 months ago
My dog takes all his toys outside. I'm pretty sure he hates them, because he doesn't ever bring them back inside.

Fun fact: Lou has a box for his toys next to his bed. We taught him to put all his toys in the box... when he started to learn he first brought them to his bed and I told him to drop them in the box instead. Guess what: for him "tidy up" now means: take the stuffy, go to your bed and >then< drop it in the box. that was not my intention, but it works

Really Thinking Outside Of The Box
NPR tells the 1912 story of a Mrs. Joseph C. Yeager who flew into panic after receiving a wire from her husband. Mr. Yeager had been described as a "horseman, gambler and all-around plunger". So it’s no surprise that when his wife "hastily scanned" a telegram from him while he was at the racecourse, she went into a spin.
"Broke. Even lost on Dollie," she read, and immediately started doing damage control, unable to imagine a life without money.

How bad of a teacher must one be to make this assumption? Why would you look at a completely empty room and assume it was because everyone hates you and not that it was a mistake or weird coincidence? The only explanation is you did something so wrong that even strangers who have paid to see you in person are ghosting you. This teacher pregamed a holiday party and s**t on a table as a dare.

NPR reports that Mrs. Yeager went out and pawned $35,000 worth of jewels. She only received $6,000 for them, but accepted out of desperation. Imagine her surprise when her husband rocked up at home with money in his pocket… “but not enough to get his wife's jewels out of hock.”
As it turns out, the telegram had actually said "Broke even. Lost on Dollie." According to media reports, the couple eventually divorced.

great WHITE north?????? I'm going boldly assume you're actually white. Has anyone stopped white people from living were they want to, attending a university or sitting anywhere on a bus? No I don't think so. Why are people like you always attention seeking and looking for oppression where it doesn't exist. You're pathetic.
Even big brands aren’t immune to missing the point. When Parker Pen released a ballpoint pen that promised not to leak, it was a hit. In America, at least. Their English ad slogan went along the lines of, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” But when the pen was released in Mexico, someone either stuffed up big-time, or intentionally set out to take the p*ss.
It's reported that Parker Pen "mistakenly" thought that the Spanish word for ’embarrass’ was embarazar. That word actually means "to be pregnant." The result? An expensive campaign rollout with an advert that translated into “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.” Oops!

Me too. I had a problem with "R's", "T's" and "L's" as well. After some very intensive speech therapy from age 2 to about 8 or 9, I finally just started sounding like someone with an accent (according to all those people who'd ask blond haired, green/hazel-eyes me where I was from. Depending on my mood, I'd either say Tacoma, WA.; or I was born in South Carolina but moved to Tacoma when I was 6 months old; OR I'd explain where my grandparents emigrated from in great detail). If they actually mentioned that I sounded like I had an accent, I'd just say "oh, I just have a speech defect". Shuts them up really fast!

Vehicles aren't cheap to make, export or sell. So when automobile companies embark on a mission to sell their goods in another country, one would like to think that they've done all the research needed. It turns out that's not always the case—and some big motor manufacturing brands have learned the hard way.
According to this hilarious but insightful e-consultancy blog post, "Mitsubishi launched ‘the masturbator’ in Spain, Toyota offered Puerto Ricans the chance to drive an 'ugly old woman', while nobody at General Motors managed to clock that ‘Nova’ (or No Va) translated to ‘It doesn’t go’."

The consultancy continues its post calling Kia out for its unfortunate oopsie in Brazil. "Although a popular model in other countries, the Besta van performed poorly in Brazil," reads the site. "While ‘besta’ can mean ‘beast’, it also doubles as a rather derogatory term for an idiot."
But it must be Ford that took the cake in the early 1970s. "The Ford Pinto is a relatively unremarkable name for a car at face value, and sold well in Europe," explained the marketing and e-commerce platform. "But, in launching the imported model into Brazil, that they discovered ‘Pinto’ is Brazilian Portuguese slang for small male genitalia."
After losing money, and face, Ford changed the car model's name to Corcel, which apparently means horse or steed.

Miscommunication, mistranslation, and mishaps are inevitable, even between those who speak the same language.

I made slippers out of a shrunken wool sweater last week. Add a couple small pieces of leather or some hot glue dots on the bottom to make them non-skid.

There Should Be Laws Against This

That's a line. It basically means I am not interested in you. It's a way to avoid giving out a number. Doesn't do our community any favors though

One time I was in a stag party of a gay(friend at a bar), and everyone I met kept assuming I was gay too until it was time to dance. I could hear the cringe when I attempted to pretend I could dance :-) BTW, the flirting was so respectful and high level that I was amazed. Gay culture does have a lot of stuff indeed to be proud about.

I'm 13, newly 'a woman'. I'm headed to the store with my mom and I mentioned that I needed Stayfree (pads) and she replied "Can't you just use Right Guard(antiperspirant)?". Um, no

I sent a coworker some details so he could set up a load test against an application. He was to set up several different requests, all requiring a password. I listed each app, various details, including the password. Password was the same for all, so I wrote it once, then wrote "Ditto" for all the rest (so he would be sure he could copy just once and paste multiple times). Well, most of the requests failed and I kept double-checking that I'd given him the right password. Finally we figure out he'd set the passwords to the word "Ditto". I do take partial blame for it, but I mean, come on!

I can understand this one being a problem. It has been at least ten years since I have heard the word "ditto".
