We all have some times when our words are misunderstood. You may think that it’s because of the difference in language or culture or something else. However, those are not always the reason. We can fail to communicate to even the people who we meet regularly. And when we speak the same language and live in the same culture. It's just because some people take other people’s words to the letter. For example, when you order a small beer and the server brings you a tiny glass of beer that should be served for, well, ants.
Below is a collection of the most hilarious incidents of people who follow instructions way too literally. Some are intentional, and some are just accidental. Check them out!
