miscommunication as a plot device makes me angry

if you just talked to each other but no

on the one hand i agree with this but on the other hand one of my coworkers rented an alpaca from a petting zoo and brought it to work because my boss said she wanted an alpaca sweater but the guy didn’t hear her say sweater and didn’t want to upset her by asking why the fuck she’d want an alpaca

This is perfect because no one got hurt in the Alpaca example. Miscommunication that results in warm fuzzies because people are trying to be awesome is A++ 

Miscommunication for the sake of drama is extremely annoying.
