Misreading Things - We crack me up!

[Endless]

I read things completely wrong. I'd blame it all on seizures, but it happens far too often! Sometimes the results just crack me up.

I just read the following title (I thought): Banned to Generic Medicines
I thought, Banned? Well, that's ONE way to look at it!

It was really: Brand to Generic Medicines.

I was on a little cruise boat a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for the restroom, and all I could find was a door labeled "Bed." I thought that was strange, but I walked on and kept on looking. I couldn't find the restroom ANYWHERE. When I came back I saw the same door labeled "Head." Found!

What are some of the funniest mis-reads you've had? Seizure or non-seizure?

:roflmao: I do that all the time! Sometimes I read the most awkward things, too.... But then I KNOW I read it wrong because it's so dirty I know people wouldn't actually put stuff like that in public! :banana:

Yes

YES, all the time! Especially if I'm tired while driving down the freeway, every billboard and street sign looks like something you wouldn't want your kids to see.

EDIT: if I had any kids, anyway.

Count Me In On That

I do it all of the time as well. I can't put down some of the things I thought I had read, but I will tell you this, they had nothing to do with what was actually there. Man oh man, how funny is this. I couldn't do anything but laugh. I blame it on the seizures too. :roflmao:

Looking at the grocery ad last night advertising cans of WHOLE KISSABLE CORN instead of WHOLE KERNEL CORN

I remember saying that to my mom 32 years ago after school and she slapped me-I was only about 12 but I will never forget it

Haha! :hj: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3601/3360035243_29504934c7.jpg reminds me of a friend who got her beer stolen from a community fridge, she left a similar sign.

I saw a sign at work that said "unescorted personnel" but I read it as "unesocorded personnel"...I took a picture and sent it around the office talking about the mistake made by sign-painters.

I now permanently work from home, proof-reading. I have made some stonking faux-pas lately, specifically:

Using the word 'neutering' instead of 'nurturing' (in context the poor lady looked as if she wielded pliers instead of motherly tendancies)!

Using the word 'masturbate' instead of 'maturate'

And the biggest clanger - which I will leave to your own imagination to deduce... the humble word 'Clock'.

I am still being laughed at to this day!

LOL. Like the common typo "pubic" for "public"...

My spellcheck doesn't like the word "freelancer" -- it substitutes "freeloader" instead.
