14 Hilarious Pics Of People Doing Exactly The Stuff What They Were Asked To Do
We complete so many tasks each day that we quickly forget about them. Meeting job deadlines, getting up kids from school, reserving a dinner table, paying bills, and doing everything else; it's no surprise that our heads are spinning at the end of the week.
We must follow certain broad guidelines, sometimes specific directions, or simply common sense to finish each activity, regardless of whether we do so voluntarily. What happens, though, when someone not only does what they're intended to do, but does so in such a literal way that the original mission is altered entirely?
Call it a sense of humor, malice, misunderstanding, or human error, but one thing is certain: people occasionally take things at face value. Below, we have compiled some of the more amusing examples to remind everyone that it's better to be safe than sorry. More literally finished jobs can be found in our prior post.
Let's be clear about one thing: people are doomed to miscommunicate for one reason or another. Sometimes it happens by chance, sometimes it happens because of a faulty assumption or interpretation, and sometimes it happens on purpose to show a point. It's been dubbed "malicious compliance," a phenomena that has been thoroughly documented across a variety of internet platforms.
Simultaneously, if we want to form a genuine relationship, miscommunication between ourselves and the other person will sabotage our efforts. After all, social interaction accompanies us everywhere: at work, on a date, with friends, or over a cup of coffee. So, how do we get the courage to express ourselves in a way that is understood? Bruce Lambert, a professor, scientist, and consultant who has taught thousands of individuals how to communicate more successfully across the United States, could have some answers.
To begin, we must acknowledge that being misunderstood is one of those typical occurrences that is nearly impossible to eradicate completely. We will continue to misunderstand each other as long as we are a community. Nonetheless, it perplexes us.
"People say they wish to improve their communication skills so they won't be misunderstood. We think it's because we used the incorrect words when we're misunderstood. We didn't properly communicate our thoughts. Alternatively, we can point the finger at the other person. We were very explicit in our communication, however they misunderstood us. "What we said gave them the erroneous impression," Lambert writes on his website How Communication Works.
