Do you ever get the wrong end of the stick?
It is something that can happen quite often in life, especially when two people are not communicating clearly.
You might not understand completely what that person is saying.
You might get the wrong end of the stick.
It happens quite often.
Maybe a person says something or maybe they write something or maybe they send you a message and you misunderstand that particular thing.
You misunderstand what they say.
Maybe you get the wrong end of the stick.
It can happen these days, especially by the way in which we communicate.
We seem to communicate more casually.
It is very rare for people to speak in real life face to face.
And because of that, there are more chances that you might get the wrong end of the stick.
I'm sure it's happened to you in the past.
Maybe you've received a message on your telephone.
Maybe you look at your smartphone and you think, oh, that person is being so rude to me.
But they are not.
Because sometimes when you read text messages,
there is a lack of context.
You might misunderstand what that person is typing.
We can say that you get the wrong end of the stick.
Has it ever happened to you?
Have you ever got hold of the wrong end of the stick, which has led to a very embarrassing misunderstanding?
That is today's phrase.
See you again soon.
Ta-ta for now.
