Major misunderstanding

I worked as a hotel porter for a while in a posh hotel. When guests arrived you had to be prompt.

My always serious Indian manager one day ran towards me shouting "Chicken! Chicken!"

I looked at him confused as he reiterated "Chicken! Chicken!" I paused, stuck my elbows out, was just about to flap, strut and cluck in embarrassed jest when I spied two guests struggling in with suitcases.

I quickly realised he was actually saying "Check-in! Check-in!". My hearing and his accent.

What have you misheard or misunderstood that led to embarrassing situations?

I used to work in a shop as a teenager and a woman with a lisp asked if we sold kettles but all I could hear was keckles and had no idea what they were so went to ask a colleuge and actually said keckles. She must have thought I was taking the mick.

A woman once rang me at work to say her drains were blocked by cheese...

I thought this was odd (but not impossible) so continued questioning, and eventually realised she meant trees (as in roots) rather than cheese (as in Gouda)

My mother and sister saw some artificial cakes in a shop and asked if they could buy two of them. But the lady said they were only for show and asked if they would like to order any of them.

So they chose two of them (they wanted them for kitchen ornaments) when they went to pick them up.. The lady opened the boxes and my mother and sister said "wow they look so real!" and then the lady said "yes they are real cakes, this is what you ordered"
