Miscommunication 

A word that a woman uses when she is wrong in an argument and cannot admit it.
Her: You said the game starts at 6:45, why are you leaving at 5:50?
Him: Because I have to warm up.
Her: Then why did you tell me it starts at 6:45.
Him: Because you asked me what time the game starts.
Her: You knew what I meant. Clearly I wanted to know what time you had to be there, not what time it started.
Him: You asked what time the game starts. How was I supposed to know you wanted to know what time I had to leave if you didn't ask me?
Her: it was just a miscommunication.

How do I make it right? Arghhh!!!

An event while texting where the recipient of your text gains the wrong meaning from your message.
