Okay, this is really weird. The following post is what made me think of this:

The OP said "technophobia" and in my head, I was thinking, "love of technology," which of course is exactly the opposite of what he said. Well I just now noticed it, felt :oops: instantly, and thought, "Well, great, my answer must look really stupid! But then I read it, and even though I totally misunderstood the OP, the answer works anyway!

This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen frequently enough to feel like kind of an odd thing to me.

Anyone else have this happen to them, either rarely or regularly? Ever totally misinterpret something but give a correct answer anyway?

Weird isn't it?
