From sausages to SA politics: The perils of miscommunication | The Citizen

TheCitizenNews 🗣️Opinion🌭Sausage for your thoughts? Miscommunication happens everywhere and all the time! Click here➡️

There’s a place in my head where I prefer to live, because real life can be too complicated at times. I call it Dirkland.None of those damned misunderstandings we are traumatised by day in and day out. I know I am to blame for some of the misunderstandings that litter my life.

I sometimes battle to express myself clearly. But it’s also true that an understanding person only needs half a word. I often provide that half of a clear message, but the good understanding remains lacking.The people around me are well aware I don’t have much of an understanding. If understanding was a cold drink, my version would have been called Diet Understanding.

Understanding Lite. The margarine of understandings, complete with the little heart logo. Yet they bombard me with incomplete messages. Like the one the lovely Snapdragon sent to me a while ago. “There are sausages in the fridge. Cook a few for dinner.” And then she added symbols that made no sense: “<3”.“You said I should make less than three,” I replied. “Two is most certainly less than three.”“How on earth should I have known it?” I asked her. “I don’t say you don’t have a heart, but you hide it well. In my defence, it’s not the first organ I associate with you. Almost like ears. You don’t have any of those at all.”And she doesn’t send me any more of those silly hearts.
