When they reply to something you have said and it is obvious they have got the wrong end of the stick, you try to correct them and rephrase whatever they have misunderstood and they reply "no I understood it correctly the first time" and you can tell them till you are blue in the face that they have got it wrong, but they still insist that they know your mind better than you do.

I hate people who try to finish sentences for you. Some are very good at it and I feel like telling them that since they know the story so well they should have told it in the first place. That sometimes causes a "Huh"?
Here's a good blog on communication and uses a quote from the same favourite I like to use

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”

Did you know, that what you thought I said, was not what I meant :S

That got me flummoxed Stikkibeek.

Quote from eldest son yesterday during an altercation went something like this from him

" if you will just admit that what I have said is what you should be wanting to hear!"

25 acres, 1400 Blue Gums, Wiltshire sheep, 5 steers, 2 cows, ducks, chickens, bees, dog, cats, retired, 1 husband and 3 grandkids.

Stikkibeek I like the following quote from that article

words don’t have meaning. People bring their meaning to the words.
