(Magazine ad) Birthday Parties#QUOTE#Birthday Pants
#71632
This troper just misread Birthday Parties as Birthday Panties.
#71635
when reading Girl Genius, I misread the advert for "Paradigm Shift: Get ready to run" as "Paradigm Shift: Get ready to strip"
#71636
This troper can't help but misread "RobinHood: Prince of Thieves" as "Robin Hood: ''{{Prince of Tennis}}''".
#71637
I didn't misread this, my sister did, but anyways she misread Authentic Chinese dishes as authentic Chinese diabetes.
#71638
I just misread "Authentic Chinese dishes" as "Autistic Chinese dishes".
#71639
I volunteer in a hospital, and I was walking past a door that said "Block power room" I read it as "Black people room" and for a second thought I was in a segregated hospital.
#71640
I ''just'' misread that as 'black power room'.
#71641
"Bloodhound" #QUOTE# "Hellhound" (in an AIM discussion of dog breeds)
#71642
When this troper was very small, she confused the words "prosecuted" and "executed," and thought that the warning signs meant a truly dire fate for shoplifters.
#71643
Same here, but for "prosecuted"#QUOTE#"persecuted"
#71644
I once read a short story where a gossip columist actually had 'Trespassers will be persecuted' on a sign outside her house.
#71645
Same here, but for "prosecuted"#QUOTE#"prostituted." Yeah, that one got corrected real fast.
#71646
"We keep prices low by buying smart and prosecuting shoplifters." Pimp out dat stealin' ho, playas.
#71647
"Prosecutors will be violated"
#71648
Were you reading a warning sign or PhoenixWright slash?
#71649
I actually thought of PW slash after I misread a safety advertisement as "20% of drink driving prosecutors happen the morning after." I wondered what it was the morning after from, before realising the word was prosecutions.

AintNoRule that says a Hebrew person can't play basketball...except maybe if they're Orthodox and it's between Friday and Saturday night. Or something.
#71654
I was reading out a text book for school, and it said, "French protestants populated the colony." Naturally, I read protestant as prostitute... and said it out loud.
#71655
Don't worry, I just did exactly the same thing reading that example.
#71656
This troper thought it said "French Protagonists".
#71657
This troper's sister. '' 'fans throwing things up on stage' '' "Fans - oh. I missed the 'things'."
#71658
This troper often rushes her writing, and once when she reread something she wrote, two words were so close together that...well...at first she thought she had written 'bitch' subconsciously. Sadly, she does not remember the two words.
#71659
This troper's done that as well. Late one night someone called my apartment with a message for one of my roommates. I scribbled the note on the whiteboard and went back to bed, only to be woken an hour later with cries of "What's a "''photos rupler''"? The word was, in fact, "''photographer''". Sadly, my handwriting has only devolved further since I started typing far more than I write...
#71660
A fellow player in
this troper's ''{{Exalted}}'' game has similar problems. This player helped him reconstruct a lost character sheet--and ever since, there has been a running gag about "Ax Body Technique."
#71661
This troper, upon rereading notes for history class, encountered a word he couldn't quite make out. "Kinop"? "Kinep"? "Kmep"? Using context, he eventually figured out the word was... "kings".
#71662
'Dad's Special Mix' #QUOTE# 'Dad's '''Suicidal''' Mix'. In
my defense, I was half-asleep anyway.
#71663
On a condom box: "Ultra Ribbed," read as "Ultra Riblet"... Oh dear.
#71664
This troper thought, "Ultra Ribbit?"
#71666
Generally, the 'wrestling' is the coital part.
#71667
On an orange juice box: "Fruit bats may float to the bottom." Actually '''Fruit bits'''.
#71670
While walking down the halls in her dorm,
this troper jerked to a stop when she saw someone's white board read, '''"The Poultry Slam was Awesome!"''' Actually, it was the ''Poetry'' slam. Phew. No chickens were harmed in the writing of this example.
#71671
Poultry Slam sounds like a special at a fast food joint.
#71672
This troper once managed to completely misread a road sign ("Ironbridge" as "Heathrow", if you're curious).
How, you ask?
#71673
This troper saw a sign a sign for ''Gift Penis'' in a card shop. On second glance, it was ''Gift Pens''
#71674
This troper makes that mistake all the time.
#71675
As does
this one, with the "Singing Pens" that were at his work for a while. He's also read "Mailmate shredder" as "manure shredder."
#71676
Update: He also read "Vocazo chair" (whee, Staples brand names) as "{{Vocaloid}} chair".
#71677
Miles Grover of Thinkin-Lincoln.com has this to say: So there was an article on Digg with the headline "Top 25 Killer Apps of All Time" but I totally read it as "Top 25 Killer ''Apes'' of All Time" and so you can imagine my intense disappointment when I realized my error and it was just some dumb computer stuff.
#71678
My dad had the ultimate one: he managed to read "Beauty Salon" as "Identity Sausage".
#71679
This troper and his sister were one really saddened to learn that the Steve Miller band never recorded ''Take the monkey and run''.
#71680
This troper read the book title ''How Nanita Learned To Make Flan'' as ''How Narnia Learned To Make Flan''. She'd actually rather read the latter.
#71681
When this troper was very young and just learning to read, she thought that sign in the swimming pool changing room said "Please Shower Before Entertaining The Pool."
#71683
On Saturday mornings, a movie theater near this troper runs FREE FAMILY FUCKS...er...FLICKS.
#71684
This troper has seen a billboard saying something along the lines of 'HAVE A GREAT FLICK TONIGHT' with the font making the L and I blend together even more, so he suspects this is often an intentional way of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
#71685
CLINT EASTWOOD is another variation on this one.
#71686
On a package of toilet paper: "12 Big Rolls" became "12 Rick Rolls". Spending too much time on the internet does that to you.
#71687
And a partridge in a pear tree.
#71688
I had a note telling me to call Glenn Digman. I called and asked for Glenn {{Digimon}}.
#71689
In a Grade 8 Science Textbook: "Single-Celled Organisms" became "Single-Celled Orgasms". The class became a roiling mass of laughter for about 20 minutes.
#71690
This was a regular occurence in my Year 8 and 9 (ages 12-13 and 13-14 respectively), especially as our teacher would not stop saying the word organism. Yeah... that was fun.
#71691
That's why everyone in my year 10 biology class always read slowly when asked to read out loud. Oddly, I've also done the reverse while reading my psychology textbook since my brain always assumed every time "orgasm" appeared in a textbook it must've been "organism".
#71692
A Year 7 (not sure what the American equivalent is, but it's 11-12-year-old pupils) science class on human reproductive biology had this absolute ''gem'' (not from me, I might add)- the teacher was going over what we'd learned, explained menstruation, and one member of the class piped up, "I thought that was masturbation!" I can't remember how much hilarity ensued in total, but I spotted it...
#71693
Your ''teacher'' experienced menstruation, or your ''class'' experienced menstruation?
...Never Mind.
#71694
Once my drama teacher had a moment like this. He quickly realized the line was "chocolate ripples" not "chocolate nipples". Of course the entire production was beside themselves with laughter.
#71695
On a Hot Pocket sleeve: "CAUTION: Filling will be hot" as "CAUTION: Filled with hot beef." This troper and his sister found it inexplicably amusing.
#71696
I misread this as "This troper and his hot sister found it inexplicably amusing." That is because hot was right above the space between his and sister. And I, as well as you two (filled with hot beef is a IfYouKnowWhatIMean phrase) have dirty minds.
#71697
I keep seeing "WARNING: Product may be hot. Wait two minutes" as "WARNING: Product may not wait two minutes".
#71698
This troper once e-mailed a funny video he made to his grandparents. They replied with, "You must of had a ball with this! Thanks for showing us!" What he read was, "You have some real balls sending this to us!" Since then, this troper's been insecure.
#71699
This troper recently bewildered her parents by asking them what James Bond was doing with "the Queen's Lace." Turns out that the upcoming movie is actually called "the Quantum of Solace."
#71700
On TV Tropes Itself- on the HiveMindTestimonial page, an example for a vaccine for an STD. "Thus, the ads air to reach patients who won't be getting the info from their politically pressured doctors, and hopefully influence public policy." Thank ''God'' it isn't really "... influence pubic policy."
#71701
This troper read that as "Thus, the AIDS air to reach patients..." (Not sure if "air" was a verb or a noun.) On this very wiki, he read , the
picture caption at the top of, fittingly, the AccidentalInnuendo page as "A horse? Well, I should say ''so''!"
#71702
This Troper once read 'free valve replacement' (in the window of a bath shop) as 'free wolves replaced'. Hey, it's not ''too'' far off. Also, during a particular Chemistry unit, she kept misreading 'amine' as 'anime'. This misreading paid off when that typo ''actually appeared''. I never knew animes were named in accordance with IUPAC rules...
#71703
One computer user was terrified due to reading "It is '''not''' safe to turn off your computer." The user was instructed by tech support to read off each letter in order. Of course, it really said "now".
#71704
At the restaurant this troper works at, we recently started serving Mac 'n Cheese, but only on the Junior menu. This shows up on our computer system as JR MACNCHS. I keep reading it as "John [=McCain=]."
#71705
Um, that would be a ''senior'' mac'n'cheese.
#71707
This troper does this about five times a day but for the life of him Cannot. Remember. A. Single. One. Also,
why is it always dirty?
#71708
Because FreudWasRight?
#71709
After a long, tiring day at work, a bag of dog food labeled "Special Mix" somehow became "Suicidal Mix". ''Not'' the best thing to feed your pets...
#71710
On a white board "Welcome to Science Three!" turned in my head into "Welcome to the Science Tree!"
#71711
I read "Science Three" as "Science Tree" ''before I read that you did too''.
#71712
Reading the back of a water bottle and not focusing lead to seeing 'purified water' as 'perverted water'.
#71713
And just now when I turned on my web browser, "Obama arrested for eating rare iguana"... oh. It says "Couple arrested for eating rare iguana".

When a fan of ''Wicked'' advertised their fandom in a signature banner written in a flowing cursive font, this troper kept reading it as ''Pickled.''
#71728
This troper was once walking with a group of friends, when he spotted a flier hanging on a lightpost. The flier was advertising a job, the main part saying "HAVE A GOOD TIME, TRAVEL, MAKE GOOD MONEY". However, due to the poor spacing of the words as well as the use of all capitals, I read "TIME TRAVEL". Cue this surprised troper yelling "Holy shit!" and making a run for the poster, mistaking it as a news bulletin about the invention of time travel.
#71729
A poster on a forum of which this troper is a member once started a thread titled something to the effect of, "I've got no place to stick my disk." He was talking about computer equipment. A lot of people thought he meant a far more...''personal'' problem.
#71730
One of my friends has rather dubious handwriting. While examining his D&D character sheet, I found that the way he wrote his base land speed (30 ft.) looked remarkably like "joel," so now whenever the party is traveling on foot, we move "at the speed of Joel."
#71731
I confused pubic hair with public hair.
#71733
Me three, for the longest time.
#71734
This troper always reads "public" as "pubic". Whoops.
#71735
This troper also does that, especially when reading about content in the public domain.
#71736
At an airport: "Those carrying banned items face removal." Unfortunately, this troper skimmed the sign and only saw "face removal", read it as ''getting one's face removed''. Thankfully, logic got her to do a double-take and read the sign properly.
#71738
Similarly, in a headline on aol.com: 5 Vitamins That Will Take Years Off Your Face -> 5 Vitamins That Will ''Take Off Your Face''
#71740
Interesting. I have just misread that phrase the same way.
#71741
I read it as "5 Vitamins That Will Take ''Tears'' Off Your Face".
#71742
On the main TroperTales index, HandOrObjectUnderwear is followed by HandsGoDown.
This troper sees HandsGoDownUnderwear ''every time she skims the list''.
#71743
While reading her horoscope, this troper read "You feel like you're in a pressure cooker.However..." as "You feel like you're a professional Hooker"
#71744
This troper has to wonder what the library was thinking when they reinforced the spine of "Heroic Horses" and covered up the H in "Heroic". She can't help but giggle every time she sees that cover.
#71745
While looking for something in the basement,
this troper wondered why we'd have a box labeled "Crystal Clear Celery". As it turns out, it was crystal clear ''cutlery'', as in clear plastic silverware. And then there was the time when he saw a flier for his college's newspaper looking for "controversial columnists". His mind processed it properly, but then when he said it out loud to the person next to him, it came out as "controversial ''communists''".
#71746
These are very common in the chat for
this troper's Livejournal roleplay. Some notable examples saved on the wiki include: "bolts" -> "lolis"; "A giant cockroach ran into his room" -> "A giant cock ran into his room"; "flying truck" -> "flying fuck". Our minds aren't in the gutter ''all'' the time, really.
#71747
In a chemistry lesson: "What's a charge onion?" (He'd made some notes the previous lesson, and there wasn't quite enough space in "charge on ion...")
#71748
Before the 2008 presidential election, and for a while afterwards, this troper kept reading the word "Pain" as "Palin", most notably in an ad for a local dentist, which read "GOT PAIN?".
#71749
This troper had clearly spent too much time on the Internet. My friend, playing Pikmin, prepared to enter the "Hole of Beasts." My mind managed to read it as "Hole of Breasts."
#71750
Also: "Nick, could you pass me the colored peni- ...er, pencils?"
#71751
This troper manages to repeatedly and unfortunately misread "enunciate" and the similar as "enucleate". Hint-- while public speaking, it is good to enunciate. It is never, ''ever'' good to get up in front of a crowd and
enucleate, unless you are an eye doctor.
#71752
This troper was on a road trip and was looking at signs to pass the time. She was bored and about to fall asleep when she saw a sign that read
Meat Dimension Homes... er, make that New Dimension Homes.
#71753
And on a related note, while playing {{Persona 4}}, she accidentally misread "Null Rage" as "Nerd Rage". Best. Skill. Ever.
#71754
This troper just read that as "Dull Rage". Does that have anything to do with DullSurprise?
#71755
While shopping at Borders, this troper saw a sign above a display of books that ominously read "DEAD AVALANCHE WINTER". As it turned out, it was actually "READ AWAY THE WINTER".
#71756
This troper just spent several minutes puzzling over a heading on a website. "Why do we need advice on AVOIDING FREUD?" Turns out it was, of course, AVOIDING FRAUD.
#71757
I could do with some advice on avoiding Freud. He's ''
everywhere''.
#71759
This troper spent like thirty seconds trying to figure out why the above troper typed "shrink wrap contracts" twice.
#71761
This troper just glanced at the featured videos on the myspace homepage and conflated the two separate titles "WWE: Edge vs. John Cena" and "Cute Baby Civet" into "WWE: Edge vs. Cute Baby Civet". A match animal lovers everywhere probably wouldn't be happy about, unless of course he was actually fighting a human who just happens to have the least threatening wrestling name ever.
#71762
This EGS strip- ''every single time'' I check back on the site, I read one of the lines there as "Based on my understanding of goth magic..."
#71763
This Troper used to think that "To Let" signs on houses that were, well, to let, actually said "Toilet".
#71764
This troper misread ''his own comment'' on ShipToShipCombatDiscussion: #QUOTE# "
Rei/Shinji shipper in the house." -> "Rei/Shinji stripper in the house."
#71765
"I can't pick any flowers" as "I can't pick my flavor."
#71766
"What do you do when you're feeling angry? I lock myself in my room" -> "What do you do when you're feeling angry? I touch myself in my room." The best part was I was reading aloud in front of the class at the time.
#71767
This troper, when reading about the movie ''Flubber'', cannot help but read "Weebo" (the name of the professor's robot) as "Weeaboo". Which then gives her plotbunnies about a rewrite of the film, only with a GratuitousJapanese spouting {{Loli}} RobotGirl...
#71768
This troper has a bad habit of misreading "tights", as in, "get into
Jareth's tights", as "thighs". GET AWAY FROM DAVID BOWIE'S THIGHS, YOU BEAST!
#71769
The first time this troper read ''Eragon'' she was rendered unable to take it seriously after accidentally reading a line about "the dwarf polishing his war axe" as "the dwarf polishing his ear wax".
#71770
''Edward took advantage of the fact that
Bella was momentarily stunned'' etc. became ''Edward took advantage of the fact that Bella was
monumentally stupid'' etc. That was a good read, at first.
#71771
This troper initially misread the the spell "
Expelliarmus as "Expellidermus", and ''kept misreading it as such until sometime in the third or fourth book.''
#71772
This troper had once seen a box sitting at the front of my history class I read as "bondages" with a triangle symbol on it. I never decided to find out what it was before it was gone. In my defense, I'm probably near-sighted and need glasses.
#71773
It was probably "bandages", although I'm not sure why a box of those would be sitting in a history class unless you were re-enacting the Civil War or something...
#71774
This troper just saw a picture of the exterior of
Mickey's PhilharMagic at Walt Disney World and did a double take because she thought it said "
PhallicMagic".
#71775
In the beginning of
this article: "killer androids, supercomputers, sentient AI jets, replicants, etc." somehow became "killer androids, supercomputers, sentient AI jets,
republicans, etc".
#71776
This troper does that ''constantly'' but most stupidly, once read her own user name on DeviantArt as 'Laughing-poolz' instead of 'Larten-roolz'. I ''still'' don't know how I made that mistake.
#71777
Walking under the sign to a clothing store,
this troper looked up momentarily and wondered "who the heck would name their store Awful?". It was actually AWOL - The O kind of looked like a U from where I was standing and I guess I mentally added the F.
#71778
This troper just had a very disturbing one. I misread "''ZeroWing'' is one of the most downloaded games on emulation sites" as "''ZeroWing'' is one of the most downloaded games on
emasculation sites", and rather than rereading the sentence to figure out what was wrong with that picture, immediately let my mind go as to how Zero Wing would... appeal to those who are fond of castration. Aaaagh.
#71780
Looking at the movie reviews on The A.V. Club: ''My Life In Ruins'' #QUOTE# ''My Life In Bruins''. I'm not sure if the latter movie would be a biographical film from the perspective of a player on the Boston hockey team, or about er, living inside of several brown bears?
#71781
A movie about the UCLA Bruins would probably be a lot better then ''My Life in Ruins''.
#71783
This troper repeatedly misread the word "calamities" as "catamites". Unfortunately, today it was on the cover of a book titled "The Book of Calamities", which just sounds like some kind of pederastic Page-A-Day calendar misread that way. Agh. Jeez.
#71784
Also, "extra poignancy points" at OneWomanWail became "extra pregnancy points".
#71786
From ContractualPurity, referring to a nude scene by Molly Ringwald: "However, the film wasn't really memorable, and she hadn't been a teenager for over a decade at that point, so the nipples weren't minor." Well, you've got a-- no, pardon me, "the ripples were minor."

And I managed to not only mishear and misremember, but also misread the line (from the Dear Prudence medley, fading out) from ''AcrossTheUniverse'', "Our voice is our strength". It's shouted by a protester through a megaphone, and every time I hear/think/read "My voice gives me
The Abridged Series}} super strength!"
#71789
From BodyHorror: "Another who gets a severe case of acne (severe meaning '''softball-sized tits''')" Of course, it was softball-sized ''zits''.
#71790
In our local newspaper: "Helping veterans fight demons" became "Veterans help fight demons". Not that huge of a misreading, but considering it was a fairly straightforward article on reintigrating into civilian life with serious PTSD, and the latter appears to be a recipe for an UrbanFantasy novel, it's... certainly different.
#71791
"Jesus touched my wife." Well, isn't that interesting. *closer look* "Ah. ''Life''."
#71792
On a similar note, I read "Jeez this is so hard." as "Jesus is so hard." Interesting indeed.
#71793
For the longest time, I read "convoluted" as "convoulted" and "myriad" as "myraid". I didn't get it right until someone actually said the words.
#71794
SteelKomodo, walking down a Southampton street while on holiday with the family, passes by a shop. The sign says something about ''insurance''. However, the troper, boiling under the sun and dying for a drink, reads it as '''''Fanservice'''''. Thankfully, he keeps his mouth shut.

On a sign for a hair salon: Hair Place One #QUOTE# Hairforce One. I thought I'd finally seen a punny name for a salon I could get behind, especially if the decor was airplane-themed, presidential-themed, or both. It also would make a

#71805
This Tropian just read "How about a kiss, for luck?" as "How about a kiss, or fuck?" I think I prefer the latter.
#71806
This Troper read your statement as "This Trojan just read..."
#71807
A different version: this troper just read "Bush corpse 'may be missing Chinese man'" on the logout page for his email account. It took him a few seconds to get it straight and realise:
#71808
No, George W. Bush didn't fake his death and replace his corpse with a Chinese man's, and
#71809
No, Bush didn't ''kill'' a Chinese man.

I went to university in Appalachian Ohio, a region that has mines and little streams all over the place. While I was living there, the county was having big trouble with acid runoff and other nasty things from said mines ending up in said little streams. One of the worst was one Sunday Creek. I don't remember the exact wording of the headline in the paper I read, it was something like "Study finds mine run-off major cause of Sunday Creek pollution". Aside from being one of those "no! really?" conclusions (the water had somehow magically turned bright orange and started to smell like ass), it was sort of disappointing. I was sure I had read "Study finds mimes pollute Sunday Creek, run off".
#71822
This Troper just read Instant Waking Skills as Instant Wanking Skillls, cue much facepalming, and then there was that incident that left me wondering why the flier I had just been handed was asking me to contact Daniel Jackson, turns out it was someone named David Jackson...

Not so much misreading as 'totally misunderstanding'. When I first heard the quote "Soylent Green Is People" I thought it was a corporate slogan. You know, "A personal company", "A company that understands you." that sort of thing.
#71824
Wouldn't this go better in TroperTales/CompletelyMissingThePoint?
#71825
Rock/Pop -> {{Robocop}}. Which caused me to wonder what a musical genre somehow based on those movies would be like.
#71826
Since there is no "ISawThatAs" for pictures, this troper would like to post here that he tried to figure out whether the picture on the PlayingToTheFetishes article was a really fucked-up bulldog's face or a cat doing Goatse before realizing it was a woman in a fur coat with her arms tied behind her back. In his defense he was not wearing his contacts at the time.
#71827
You are not alone. Though this troper saw it more a a mass of white.
#71828
I recently bought ''My Sims Agents'' for the Wii. Included in the box is a booklet that tells about other EA games on the Wii. One such game is ''FIFA Soccer 10''. It primarily promotes teaming up with friends, ending with a sentence that I read as "The more friends that play, the higher the
parental bonus!" The real word was "potential", but
y'know...
#71829
I'm on a dating site that lists percentages for "Friend" and "Enemy" on other people's profiles, depending upon whether or not you've taken the same surveys and answered certain questions the same or different ways. The first time I noticed this, I thought it was rating the girl in question as 85% ''Finland'' and 0% ''Germany''.
#71830
A friend reading a newspaper read "Palestinian dies in accident". Actually a "pedestrian".
#71831
On the MismatchedEyes page,
I looked at the caption and read it as "100% guaranteed not to
run around...desu." Then I looked again and saw it was "aground" instead.
#71832
"Only Robots Have Sex Slaves" -- pardon? Oh, you mean GiantRobotHandsSaveLives. Also, "Where Pros Buy From The Pros" #QUOTE# "Where The Pros Get Their Hos".
#71833
Message on the nursery/garden center's big outdoor sign: MARIE OSMOND HANDBAGS ARE HERE. Message I read when I glanced at the nursery/garden center's big outdoor sign as I drove past: MARIE OSMOND HEADBANGS HERE.
#71834
This troper once saw a magazine called "Pursuits" and proceeded to regard it suspiciously for several minutes until realizing it did not, in fact, read "Fursuits."
#71835
Handicap Parking Only -> Handicap Purgatory. The wind was irritating my eyes as I traversed the parking lot, but that's still kind of inexplicable.
#71836
One time, this troper read "southern dialect" as "southern
Dalek"
#71837
I[valbinooo] have read "The Athlete's Topical Bible" as "The Atheist's Topical Bible". Even funnier because the book in question was approved by the FCA.
#71838
This actually happens to me [original poster] all the time because I read so fast.
#71839
I read "tropical bible" both times there.
#71840
This Troper once misread Twitter as Sweeney Todd. Talk about making no sense whatsoever!
#71842
Me and my kids made a snowman. -> Me and my kids made a woman.
#71843
Phillip Glass - Piano Music -> Phillip Glass - Porno Music
#71844
Read that as {{Ponyo}} Music.
#71845
Reading a newspaper article: "Griffith applauds project ‘guarantee’; moves to Senate." -> "Griffin applauds project 'guarantee', moves to Seattle."
#71846
Also, "Nighttime Driving Tips" -> "Nightmare Driving Tips".
#71847
"We Buy Gold!" -> "We Are Cold!" (It was during the winter in a newspaper)
#71848
"Climate Kids" -> "I hate kids"
#71849
"Smile" -> "Samus"
#71850
"Thiokol" -> "Thor Kol" (Probably subconsciously because of the coolness of saying "The Space Shuttle's boosters are built by Thor.")
#71851
"After splashdown, Conrad kidded Gordon." -> "After splashdown, Conrad KILLED Gordon." Um, NoJustNo.
#71852
"Pitch Hitter" -> "Pinch Hitler".
#71853
I just read "LordErrorProne" as "Load Error Phone."
#71854
Upon reaching the ShootingSuperman page: -> "When will you learn? Your guns won't work on me!" -> — PrinceOfSpace -> to ->"When will you learn? Your guns won't work on me!" -> — PrinceOfTennis
#71855
Tropers/RedWren This troper, for the life of her, could not figure out why you had written PrinceOfTennis twice for a good few moments. And read the second as gums.
#71856
This same troper read JusticeSocietyOfAmerica as Justice Society Of
Amnesia, and, "Okay, now I'm ticked," as, "Okay, now I'm tickled."
#71857
The Gorin Buiding -> The {{Gorn}} Building. I was just thinking it was named after someone with a now-unfortunate surname though...
#71858
I thought that read as the ''Groin'' building...
#71859
On the ''{{Tekken}} 6'' GameFAQs board, "How did it feel when Alisa first gave you her head?" Just... guess.
#71860
This troper's brother: "Gipod Dumpster Rental" -> "Jihad Dumpster Rental".
#71861
Her friend: "HI LITER" -> "HITLER".
#71862
This troper just read, "To protect your security, some pop-ups have been blocked..." as, "
To protect your sanity, some pop-ups have been blocked..."
#71863
That actually makes sense.
#71864
This troper remembers reading SIXAXIS (The original PS3 controller) as ''SUX-ASSES'' the first time he saw it.
#71865
While browsing through used cd's: A Dozen Furies -> A Dozen Furries. A much less intimidating band name, although that ''could'' depend upon
who the furries in question are.
#71866
Began -> Bacon. DontAsk
#71867
There's an ad on this very wiki with a stop sign reading "STOP - READ THIS", which I first read as "STOP READING THIS". Which, depending on how you look at it, would either be something of a LogicBomb, or just TheAdvertisementServer itself warning me about the addictive quality of TV Tropes.
#71868
Here is one with some GratuitousSpanish for you. ''Rodentia'' -> Redondita on a MSN conversation. It took my friend more than 20 minutes to get that I wasn't writing about something round.
#71869
In someone's facebook status: organized all of my baking equipment -> ''Orgasmed'' all of my baking equipment. FreudWasRight indeed...
#71870
This trope caused
This Troper to start calling the Cursebringer Angel from ''Game/{{Baroque}}'' "The Cheesebringer Angel."
#71871
Which I just further misread as "The Cheeseburger Angel".
#71873
Peeking at
another troper's contributor page: "Wait, why would anyone have something against words that sound alike? Oh, homo''phobes''!"
#71874
This troper lives in Reading. It's /very/ easy to confuse reading the gerund verb with Reading the place if printed in all caps.
#71875
For the longest time,
this troper thought that the road sign "Bridge May Ice In Winter" read "Bridge May '''Be''' Ice In Winter". An interesting transformation, I would say!
#71876
In a banner ad: Take Our Psychological Assessment Here! -> Get Your Psychological Asses In Here!
#71877
{{Zyxzy}}'s title in the forums: Embrace the mindscrew -> Embrace the
microbrew. I took him to be a passionate fan of craft beer, I guess.
#71878
During a very boring Linear Algebra class, "vector space" shifted into "vegetable space".
#71879
From the same troper: "process control" -> "pressure control" -> "pleasure control"
#71880
From the same troper, on an IRC channel: "Quit: excess flood" -> "Quit: excess food".
#71881
Again me: "dynamic clustering" -> "dynamic lusting".
#71882
An ad for gift cards at Burger King: Buy, Swipe, Eat -> Buy Swine Exit. I was tired, okay?
#71883
Trained In Grain -> Trained In Pain. Thus I had the impression that an article about a
sandpainter would have, er, rather different subject matter.
#71884
This troper was reading the RepoTheGeneticOpera page and she repeatedly read 'Come Up And Try My New Parts' as 'Come Up And Try My New Pants'. Quite funny, really.
#71885
I do that /all/ the friggin' time!
#71886
I read both of them as "Come Up And Try My New Pants".
#71887
Once upon a time, I was [=IMing=] with a good buddy of mine. I typed 'I wish I had a talent like Hugh Laurie does' (SHADDUP, Me engrish bad, me know, me still learn, me no native to America Land, Me want sandwich.) and grew concerned when my friend hadn't replied for fifteen minutes or so. I sent him a nudge, a special technique for tormenting someone, specific to MSN chats, and finally he posted '...I'm sorry, I thought you said you wished you had a twat like Hugh Laurie. I couldn't stop laughing.'
#71888
This Troper once read Taisan Bread as Tasian bread. Personally, I have no idea which one I would eat. Also,
Alaya Shrine ->
Ayala Shrine.
#71889
Read that as Taiwan Bread. Mmm, Asian cuisine!
#71890
This troper was at a KFC when he spotted a sign on the cash register that read, "contents availible upon request." After a double take I realized it read "condiments availible on request."
#71891
http://www.penisland.net/. Let's guess what you read there.
#71892
This Troper saw read the TalkingToThemself trope recently. She saw the ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' entry and she finds that she reads "Yami Malik" as '''"Rami Malek"'''.
#71893
While this editor was playing Elements on Kongregate, I noticed a player in the chat by the name of IMDWalrus. I read it as WMDWalrus, and immediately thought of ways a walrus could be a weapon of mass destruction.
#71894
An English teacher of mine once read "prostrate" as "prostate" during a vocab quiz. The class of dirty minds was very amused.
#71895
I once read a column online that had the title "Who created hummus?", which became "Who created humans." I ranted for about 20 minutes until I noticed.
#71896
This Troper was on the {{Alchemy}} page and read "Book of Lambspring" as "Book of
Lampshading."
#71897
Same Troper again. This Troper's sister and her were looking at some FireEmblem supports online and were reading them aloud for fun. This Troper was
Kieran and really tried to get into the part. All was fine and dandy until that one line where This Troper passionately declared, "A knight distinguishes himself in batter!" It was actually battle. This Troper's sister proceeded to take Kieran for the rest of the support.
#71898
A particularly embarassing example was when I was in an R.S. lesson, and we were studying Jesus, and had to read out the interactive whiteboard. Unfortunatly, I was sat at the back, and didn't want to move forward, and at that day, my glasses broke (I'm short sighted). So, it came to my turn to read and the sentence was something like "For that retort, I blah blah blah... etc." I read the sentence okay (I squinted) but instead of saying "retort", I said (quite loudly) "retart". Oopsies.
#71899
Another example. I got a text from Orange saying that I had "Money Fund" except that I read it as "Money Feud."
#71900
From the Narm/Film page, reading "Vada's habit of singing "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" fast when she's upset tends to ruin what are supposed to be emotional moments in My Girl" as "''Vader's'' habit of singing "Do Wah Diddy Diddy"..."
#71901
Frozen Fish Sticks to Frozen ''Flesh'' Sticks
#71902
This troper read "KFC: It's finger lickin' good" as "KFC: It's friggin' good." Well, it is...
#71903
On Awful Library Books, they had a book called "The Healing Clay". I read it as "The Healing Gay", and going by the comments, so did a lot of other people.
#71904
This troper seems to be incapable of reading "prev" buttons on some webcomic sites as anything but "perv."
#71905
This troper has read the phrase Silly Bands as Sh** ty Bands on several occasions. I have nothing against the things, I swear!
#71906
There's a store near me that used to have a sign reading "We Have Silly Bands!". I read that as "We Hate Silly Bands!".
#71907
This troper read "Paul's TV - the King of big screens" as "Paul's TV - the Kind of Big Screens". Kind of big? Might not sound appealing to some people...
#71908
This troper once saw a sign somewhere that said "New Millennium Foundation Auction" and thought it said "New Millennium Falcon Audition"...
#71909
On the way to work, there's a blue sign that has a silhouette of a pelican on it and says "Decks & Docks". every time I see it, however, I read it as "Dicks & Ducks"
#71910
When this troper has the closed captions on she always reads "applause" as "applesauce". It was quite confusing at first.
#71911
This troper also has a habit of reading "authorized personnel only" as "authentic personnel only"
#71912
This troper just read a notice about a "Cookbook Contest" as "Cockblock Contest". It was ... quite surprising to see something like that at a public library.
#71913
Pronounciation example? I said FauxYay just now, as "''Fucks Yay''" D:
#71914
That would go under FreudianSlip.
#71915
This troper saw somethingon the news about "BPA Exposure" as "bra exposure". This troper was also watching a video of a series of Codec calls between Col. Camp and Raiden from MetalGearSolid2, when Colonel said "Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys." She read "bad" as "bald".
#71916
When doing a Google search that found some results on Twitter profiles: ''Twitter is a rich source of instantly...'' as ''Twitter is a rich source of insanity...'
#71917
Every time I read something that starts with "Beat", I misread it as
"Beatle".
#71918
"He ordered two pairs of glasses" as "ordered two pairs of ''goatees''."
#71919
Just now, I saw a TV commercial that said "Long live your dog." At a quick glance I thought it said "Live young or die."
#71920
This troper somehow managed to read "NOOOOO!!! NOT THE TEA!" as "NOOOOO!!! NOT THE FAN!"
here.

being short sighted.
#71939
Also "White Wines" as "Whale Videos".
#71940
This troper's mother is the queen of these. And due to the
memetic powers these "neologisms" have, they often stay in the family vocabulary.
#71941
While browsing through YouTube videos, I saw a video titled "Dude Fails Dunk Over Four Girls" but I thought it said "Dude Falls Over Four Drunk Girls"...
#71942
This troper just received an email from his school with the subject line "Sax master David Sanborn and Rockapella on campus." You probably misread it just like I did, but if you didn't, it's pretty obvious.
#71944
Up until very recently, this troper was absolutely ''convinced'' that the phrase "Pascal's wager" actually said "Pascal's
Wagner}} Wagner". Needless to say, when she realized what the phrase actually was, it made a whole lot more sense.
#71945
Somehow, I managed to read Sniper as Stripper, Hostage Situation as Bondage Situation, and Frightening as "Firefightening". Now excuse me while I contact my Neurologist...
#71946
When reading Naruto 14 in a store, I thought the ending was that Sasuke was a SweetPollyOliver.
#71947
Just fired up [=AIM=] and misread "Sign in as invisible" as "Sign in as
Jadusable". Bricks were shat.
#71948
The Little Mermaid - The Little Hemorrhoid... Yeahhhhhh...
#71949
A subversion: This troper thought she was misreading a sign when she read its contents as "Trespassers will be violated." Then she realized that's exactly what it ''did'' say.
#71950
Someone on a forum today mentioned roasting chicken. I read it as roasting children.
#71951
This Troper is now imagining a bunch of child comedians deprecating each other...
#71953
I do this all the time, but I remember most recently, I was reading a friend's status, which read, "a few things that soft drinks make you do: aggravate PMS, make you jittery, cause migraines, form kidney stones..." I didn't see the word stone next to kidney, and I proceeded to drink as much soda as I could.
#71954
You wanted to form kidneys?
#71955
I was watching a medical show with closed captions, and I read "Pretty much from the clavicles down he can't feel" as "He has pretty clavicles".
#71956
Yesterday I got an email about politicians and it mentioned something about "their pay grade." I read it as "their gay parade."
#71957
This troper's grandmother is known for this sometimes. Most notably, my mother had gotten fed up with the fact that I had constantly been putting anime pictures as wallpapers on our computer and changing the screensaver to go with it. She eventually changed the background to a nature picture and changed the screen saver to say, "Let the sun shine in." Well, my grandmother, who was sitting at the opposite side of the table that is next to our computer, read it as "Let the sex slide." Let's just say
she'll always be reminded of it.
#71958
I've got a twofer, here: there's a Sunrise Dental on the way to my school and every day, without fail (or, if you prefer, one big fail) I will read it as 'Surprise Dental', despite knowing, somewhere in my sleep-addled mind, what it really says. "Surprise" and "Dental" are two words that do ''not'' belong together, no matter how tired (or numbed) you are. The second has to do with a church reader board, so the nuttiness may be justified. It originally read "The mailman cometh" as part of some
joke that started on the other side. Somehow, I read it as
"The Milkman cometh" and promptly busted up laughing. Thank you, {{Psychonauts}} for being awesome even after completion!

This Troper read "Rent Textbooks, Save Money." as "Rent Textbooks, Save Mommy."
#71971
This Troper misread "no smoking" as "no smocks".
#71972
This troper saw an ad for a company named [=VanService=] (which
rents vans) and instantly parsed it as Fan Service.
#71973
I was looking at an online dating site that stated one of the benefits of a paid membership was showing that you were "serious about meeting like minded people". Somehow I initially parsed that as being serious about meeting "

#71974
To avoid {{Squick}}, I always read {{Yaoi}} as {{Yuri}}.
#71975
This troper once bought a PC from a local store, which used an ASUS motherboard and came with a "
powered by ASUS" sticker on its case. Many people misread it as "Powered by Jesus".
#71976
And I just read that misreading as "Powdered by Jesus". xD
#71978
I once managed to read "No preservatives" as "forge-able". No idea how that happened. It was on the packaging for a cookie.
#71979
I read "getting involved in his plans" on ChronoCrusade as getting "gettings involved in his pants".
#71980
On my internet home page, it said "Recipe: Hawaiian Mini Pizzas." What I read: "Hawaiian ''Mike Piazzas''". Cue me falling down laughing picturing the former catcher in a flowery shirt, lei, and ukelele.
#71981
When I read the Wikipedia page on Umeå, I accidentally read "The city of birches" as "The city of bitches".
#71982
Two recent ones: A game called "The Witch's Prison" -> "The Witch's
Pension"; manhwa title ''Cactus And Radio'' as ''
Catbus and Radio'' (Imagine, Kittenbus goes on a trip down the wires to see where the music comes from!).
#71984
A man in my Pokemon game said something like "I can't show my face to my wife and kids now" after I had defeated him. At first, that looked like "''shave'' my face".

This one only works in Norwegian, but it's too good not to share... I once read "Husholdningssaft"(a type of juice) as "Huffamegsalat"(can be translated as "oh my gosh-lettuce"). I don't know either.
#71986
Another Norwegian one: My brother read "Eldres hus"(literally, "elderly people's house") as "Elendig hus"(terrible house).
#71987
I recently read "FriendToAllChildren" as "Friend To All Chicken". xD
#71989
A Hetalia sub had what first looked like "before a snail starts and wrecks our body temperature". I thought "huh"... but then I saw they actually said a "squall".

This troper's sister once misread "Toronto Dominion Building" (a bank downtown) as "Toronto Domination Building". In DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER. If it actually did say that, it would have been violently vandalized by now, due to the local extreme dislike of the other city.
#71991
"Go get some sleep"-"Go get some sheep". Hm.
#71992
"Excitement" as "excrement". Ew.
#71993
"Stain" as "Stalin". What.
#71994
"Stop haunting me" as "Stop humping me".
#71995
On several different occasions, I've misread the cover of TheGreatGatsby. The first time was the title, as one might expect, and then Fitzgerald's name. The result never fails to elicit a giggle from me; honestly, who ''wouldn't'' want to read F. Scoot Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gassby?
#71996

A headline I saw online somewhere: Intimate pictures of Christina found -> ''Infinite'' pictures of Christina found. Since it was accompanied by a picture of ChristinaAguilera, I imagined someone found a never-ending roll of film that was full of pictures of her.

I was reading the newspaper the other day, and I managed to read the word 'restaurant' as 'arrest warrant'. I think I've been reading too many murder mysteries.

The subject line to some spam I recently recieved: Need Medigap? -> Need

This she-Troper usually flickers through conspiracy theory websites for refreshing doses of crazy and open-mindedness to the point where brains fall out. On one such an occassion concerning 2012 premonitions, said she-Troper read the title heading for an article as "Cosmic Awakening of Infinite Awesomeness" instead of "Cosmic Awakening of Infinite Awareness"

"Have you recycled today?" -> "Have you ''been recycled'' today?"
#72021
"Get Your Brain in the Fast Lane" (advertisement) -> ''Club Your Brain Out'' (!)
#72022
"Urban Contrasts" -> "Urban Communists"
#72023
And weirdest yet for said troper, "Chamber orchestra" -> "Hammerspace".
#72024
At the Pokémon Global Link page: "The most tucked-in Pokémon" -> "The most fucked-up Pokémon."
#72025
"They couldn't stand each others

While I believe it will be discarded, the YKTTW for
No! Not The X! includes the {{Discworld}} example "Archchancellor Galder Weatherwax once proposed using the Rite of Ashk-Ente..." Having not read ''Discworld/TheLightFantastic'' and not thinking straight, my mind parsed that as the wizard asking a woman to marry him, and to prove that he is both powerful and serious, summoning {{Death}} as a witness. (And now I kinda want to see that happen in a story.)
