Today is my last day at work before an extended Christmas holiday.
SO = My significant other
SO: Can I give you a lift to work?
(background: she doesn't normally work near me and would have had to take a significant detour into rush hour traffic to get to my work)
ME: No, I will just take the bus as normal, it takes me right where I want to be.
Of course this was interpreted as me saying that my SO would not take me where I wanted to go. What I meant was, the bus would get me there so there was no need to go out of her way. I also wanted to be in my normal routine during my last day at work. We had a discussion about it and clarified what I meant but it shows how easy these misunderstandings can be.
