Tea not Cheese

My neighbour rang me this morning to ask if I would buy her 2 small packets of cheese [ ?]when I went shopping . What type of cheese do you want I asked,Cheddar /Cheshire Medium /Strong cheese? It doesnt matter she said the smallest you can find. This afternoon I went to her with 2 pks cheese.Oh no she said it was TEA I said,could I just take 1 ? So Ive ended up with a pk of cheese I didnt want,at least its use by is not till October.I know Im hard of hearing and she has an accent but I didnt think I was that bad

Re: Tea not Cheese

If you asked her what type of cheese, she should have realised that was what you were getting her, is she going deaf too?

Deylon, This is the problem when you do favours for other people. If things go wrong, you end up being the loser as you are too polite to trouble them.
I did shopping for a friend once and she made me take a load of money off vouchers!
I'm not sure if l was reimbursed for the ones that were refused?
In the end, l didn't mention to her when l was going shopping.... l couldn't afford her!!

Laughing at all posts! I wondered why she didn't question Cheddar or Cheshire.

That's what I wondered, too Jazzi.

Re: Tea not Cheese

How odd I don't think it was your hearing, more likely she forgot what she wanted.

This misunderstanding, after all that effort, some folks are so ungratedful.

This story made my day! While you are stuck with a bit of cheese, it is well worth the story, right down to her reaction. You are such a good sport. Thank you for sharing! Chai...cheddar...whatever
