Hello again, and I hope your new year is being awesome! It's that time to submit any items you want Cecil to comment on to Milliways Pirate Radio - more specifically, here. I'm aiming to get the broadcast up in the last half of the month. :D
The comedian John Mulaney has a bit where he tells a story of how he's at the subway late at night and drunk. The only other person there is a woman and he sees she's walking fast. He thinks she hears a train coming and so he walks faster, so she walks faster...finally he realizes, as he is so used to not being threatening it never occurs to him, that she's scared of him and not hearing a train.
Taking inspiration from this, what is a time your character misread a situation or was misread? Was it based on an assumption or a situational error? If a fic sparks, feel free to write it instead.
