    Maybe not direct miscommunication, but definitely a lack of context.

    I got into a stupid game with my girlfriend texting back and forth quotes that start with “I am” like I’d send “I am Iron Man” and she’d respond “I am not a crook!”

    After a while, I was running out of ideas, so I sent a quote from Pulp Fiction which I probably botched. Wasn’t sure if she had even seen it.

    A few minutes later, my ex girlfriend calls and then hangs up when I answer. Thought that was weird.

    Then I thought about how my ex and current girlfriend had the same first name.

    I had just texted my ex who I hadn’t spoken to in two years “I AM THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON YOU!”

    I tried to explain the context. She was fairly understanding, but I was shoook after that experience.
