1.) They Misinterpret Your Words.
Person A: I just edited Wikipedia and it felt so powerful!
Person B: You really shouldn't vandalize Wikipedia.
2.) They Data Dump.
Person A: I'm having difficulty finding adequate health care.
Person B: No worry, I'll send you some car insurance rates.
3.) They Assume The Worst.
Person A: The only DVDs I own are my actor ex-boyfriend's.
Person B: That's a clear sign that you're not over him yet.
4.) They Don't 'Hear' You.
Person A: My brother owned this Yahoo account before me.
Person B: You lied...you're an architect; I read so in your earlier answers.
5.) They Miss The Point Completely.
Person A: I had a wonderful time camping with my dad this weekend; these times are important the older I get.
Person B: I'm sure your dad cares for you, but what good is he if you get bit by a snake and die. Maybe next year you'll be smarter when choosing a vacation spot.
