Another gem:
Her parents wanted a new carpet fitted so she suggested my brother-in-law do it..
Her “Can’t Lee do that”
Me “No, he’s a carpenter”
Her “yeah, a carpet fitter”

More misheard when a member of my family asked how I was getting on with my job, having moved from contarct IT to contract furniture restoring. Apparently.
“Eh, furniture restoring?”
“yeah, he said you were polishing some tables”
“polishing? tables?”
“well desks, he said you were polishing the tops of desks”
“oh, desk top polishing, well, not quite..”

‘oh are you having chicken for lunch’
*looks down at chicken and wedges lunch*

I worked in a Saab dealership many years ago and one day a old couple wandered in, walked round and the Woman said ” oh look, they have a Saab here ” wandered a bit more ” oh look, there’s another one “

What did they expect nissans or something ?!?!?!?!?

I get loads of silly things said at work, best ones are ” remind me what the brake does ” 😯 And one Girl said ” ain’t it funny how cars have different keys, you would think they would just make one that would fit em all ” 🙄
