I also come across as someone with whom people can be open, honest, and say strange things. So in honor of yesterday's random conviction that I would be arrested and last night's looooong dream about cleaning my microwave (yeah, I'm on a wave of weird right now), I'm giving you a taste of questions I've asked or thought I heard.
Enjoy.

"So you said there's a dead foot in your car?"
That's what I thought he said. He actually asked if I could fit a bookshelf in my car. It isn't the same.
"It's going to shit. In a handbasket. Who even WANTS shit in a handbasket?"
It's a valid question.
"You want to be me? You want my job? Then you're going to be constantly hounded to wear a slutty nurse costume."
Yeah, I had a job (err, boss) like that.
"What eunuchs are you planning to do?" "Um, I don't do eunuchs."
I'm surprised people don't confuse "eunuchs" and "units" more often. I can't be the only one. My professor seemed to think I was, however.

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who occasionally makes these mistakes!

Sorry. You're the only one.
eunuchs?
I mean...
Sid.
I was doing a group project a couple years ago about popular music. For the first 30 minutes of the conversation, I thought we were talking about a song called "Drop It Like A Tot". I kept going on and on about the implications of child abuse...I eventually figured it out.
haha I've done that a few times. My worst problem though is that when someone asks me a question, I say "What?" and while they are repeating it I realize what they said the first time and interrupt them with my answer.
As I am becoming ever more positive that I caught the stomach flu from my son, I can't come up with any examples. Rest assured you are not alone and my husband is always there to correct me.
Okay, this happens to me CONSTANTLY, but of course I can't think of a single example.
The best I can do is create a likely scenario usually involving my parents and I.
Mom: We're having chili for dinner.
Sara: Cool. Should I make cornbread?
Dad: (from the kitchen) What about a gnome?
I'm sorry. "...involving my parents and ME."
Ugh, this town is killing my grammar.
