Sometimes we get literally what we asked for

Failing to communicate our message clearly is nothing uncommon for each one of us. It doesn’t matter if you just met the person or you are living with them. In our defense - it’s not our fault, because forming a precise instruction without any possibility of misinterpreting would definitely prolong every conversation.

Sometimes we get literally what we asked for. Now, for the sake of humankind, I hope these events were pranks because the other explanation is really worrying.

We have collected some of the funniest photos of the people “literally” getting what they asked for, and we know that you will enjoy them.

1. "This Is Why My Kid Is Going Places"

2. Go!

Some people can communicate their thoughts much better than others, and much of the misinterpreting occurs due to failure to convey what we really want to say. Is there a way we can help others understand us better? 

Well, first of all, think before you speak. Psych Central says that, before engaging in a conversation, you need to clarify with yourself the purpose of your words. Only when you are clear on what message you want to convey will the people be able to get you.

3. "A Friend’s Daughter-In-Law Was Told To “Cover Up” While Feeding Her Baby, So She Did"

4. "Asked My Daughter To Lean Against The Pole For A Picture"

Another useful advice is to say less and mean more. When you have many phrases, descriptive words, jargon, and similar, it will take you far away from what you started off saying. Psych Central recommends that you “use active verbs and keep sentences short” to get “others to listen to you and actually absorb what you’re saying.”

There is no communication without listening. If you want to understand others, you have to be a good listener and focus on the information you are receiving.
