Misreading things

[Chanel_no5]

Trollface, ey? I get the "face" part, in fact, I read that too... but... troll? Awesome!

Oh, and randomgirl, salad in the vending machine? Must be one of these new "more healthy food"-vending machines.

[VoOs]

Trollface, ey? I get the "face" part, in fact, I read that too... but... troll? Awesome!

No, I meant, I thought the sign was a Trollface. You know, this handsome fellow.

Aha. Suddenly... it was less understandable, but a lot funnier!!

My brother to a male friend: "Could you give me some cockporn?"

Ahh, spoonerisims.... I do them all the time...

When I was reading a poem outloud infront of the entire class, It was something like 'House to House, Door to Door' but I read it 'Douce to Douce Whore to Whore' XD;;;; I just tried to act as if it was no big deal...

I just got a new shower radio and used it for the first time today. When I looked at it quickly I read "Sneeze" instead of "Snooze." After I realized my mistake I started wondering who would be snoozing in the shower ...

[Lalena]

Another one already!

I went out to dinner tonight and there was a martini called the "Organic Martini" and I read it as "Orgasmic Martini." Of the two, I would choose the later ...

[Rhomberg Rabbit]

Anyone remember a Tom Petty song called, "I was born a Rebel"? I went to school with a guy who used to change it

to "I was Barney Rubble." Don't know if that counts as a misread or not.

I had a customer in paint that needed a sample of a gray color. And when I first read the color chip she gave me, I thought it said "Elephant Foreskin." It was caled "Elephant Skin," but of course, my mind is always in the gutter.

Tonight I had a customer with a black hat, and in white lettering it read, "Snooze." Of course, at first glance, I saw "Sneeze."

[Chanel_no5]

Of course, at first glance, I saw "Sneeze."

Of course.

I had something similar happen! Except I was reading out loud in science class. The word was organism. I said orgasm.

...And then proceeded to be laughed at to no end. *crawls in hole*

Okay, back from far far away (also called England ). There were more but this is the only one I can remember right now.

Hever castle... I probably don't have to explain (but will anyway Read it as Hayfever castle... I was driving past the sign at the national speed limit after about already having driven for 4 hours... )

[TheCakeIsAlive]

... and I remembered another one. *spams thread*

It's really silly but had to do a double take nevertheless. I was in a small church and all along the sides they have flags saying "Have mercy on *name group* as ...." One of the last ones was: "Have mercy on the peacemakers, for they *something I forgot*"

... I read "Have mercy on the pacemakers", wondered about that as it was a really odd thing to say, looked again, read it correctly and blushed.

[Chanel_no5]

"Have mercy on the peacemakers,

How sad is it, that I just misread that as "have mercy on the pancakes"?

@Chanel:

@Sigrith: I am SO jealous of you right now. I want to see Hever Castle

/offtopic

I've got a whole column of tabs open right now on the right side of the browser window. The one for the SF Forum is on top of the one for the STFU, Parents blog. So you'll never guess what I read out of the corner of my eye... 'STFU Forum'.

[TheCakeIsAlive]

@Sigrith: I am SO jealous of you right now. I want to see Hever Castle

I haven't actually been there so no need to be jealous. Only drove past the sign. Want to go there too.

Just managed to misread "cavernous wardrobe room" as "carnivorous wardrobe room" Worst thing is... would have both worked in the story.

[Chanel_no5]

"carnivorous wardrobe room" Worst thing is... would have both worked in the story.

That was probably the funniest thing today!! And yeah, it sounds like something that could work in a story...

[curliecatlover]

In dawines signature, I just read 'a good rousing sneeze' as 'a good arousal sneeze'.

[LovelyLinda]

I just went online in Facebook and saw this ad on the right side for a survey saying "How much do you like PAPER?"

Of course I read "PEPPER"

It was kinda hilarious since I sent it to my friend (also with the fetish) and she made exactly the same mistake x)

[allergyboy2001]

I knew someone who was going to study abroad and was considering a course "Doing Business in Canada." I misread this as "Dairy Business in Canada" and thought, that's kind of a narrow thing to study as an international student...

This whole thread also reminds me of damnyouautocorrect.com, where the phone itself changes things in hilarious ways, though it's extremely dirty so we can't quote from it here.

[allergyboy2001]

I just mis-read Moneywatch as Monkeywatch.

And yesterday I mis-read horoscope as horrorscope. Oh, wait, that could be true.

[TheCakeIsAlive]

It was technically mishearing. I was listening to a lecturer who was talking about how convection led to a homogeneous distribution of elements... he mispronounced homogeneous in such a way that the only word my brain could make of it was uhm... erogenous.

... I blame it on writing fetishy fiction just before the lecture.

[Chanel_no5]

I'm not even going to tell you what I misread "pain-killers" as. I think it's enough if I say that my first thought was: "Oh my God, someone KILLED HER?!"

[Icee]

I just misread the title of the announcement post of "Internet Safety" as "Internet Sex".

I do that all the time lol

This is not a misreading or a mishearing either, but possibly the best Freudian tongue slip I've ever heard:

My brother to a male friend: "Could you give me some cockporn?"

...Or "popcorn", as they are usually called.

OMFG i said that last night

i was at the scent store with my grandma yesterday, and i got a bath bomb with a scent called "amazing grace" which i read as "amazing base"

and then i asked the clerk what the base for that particular bath bomb was made of it did smell really good, though

[Prongs]

OMG! XD hahahaha earlier today I was in the kitchen and my mom bought this new frying pan and the box said the brand, which was "Silverado Lusterware" but I thought it said "Silver doe lustwear"!!!!

I've been reading too much Harry Potter...and other things.

Last week I saw a billboard advertising a play that said "7:00 show" and I thought it said "Floo powder". Don't know where that came from.

[Shay]

Yesterday there was this cell phone commercial that was doing a parody of the song "Winter Wonderland" and they changed it to 4G Wonderland, but at first I thought they were saying Orgy Wonderland.
