A situation in which two or more parties believe to have a mutual understanding of the subject matter, but unknowingly are addressing two independent thoughts or conclusions.
Direct from Three's Company:
Mr. Furley is suffering from Jack Tripper Syndrome and is standing outside the bathroom and eavesdropping while Jack and Chrissy are installing a shower curtain. Jack Tripper: Okay, Chrissy, I'll get in the tub with you, then we can get it on. Chrissy: Get next to me, I'll show you what to do. Jack Tripper: This isn't exactly the first time I've ever done this. Chrissy: Maybe so, but girls are better at this than boys. Jack Tripper: Come on, Chrissy. A little less talk and a little more action, okay? Chrissy: Okay, you do your part and I'll do mine. I don't think it'll reach! Jack Tripper: Of course not, you've got to unfold it first! |
