unclear statement might occur misunderstanding-叫爸爸

Sometimes misunderstanding occurs between closed friends or lovers due to unclear statement. One assumes that the other will surely know what he/she is driving at even though he/she just points out short unfinished words....
There is a chinese joke which can be one example to describle the situation above:
鐵罐是個很懂事的女孩,家住屏東。
有一個週六下午,鐵罐補習回來,坐在客廳寫功課。
這時突然門鈴作響,懂事的鐵罐趕緊跑去開門,
她看到一個英俊高大的男士站在那裡。
心裡正猶豫他是誰的時候,
媽媽從廚房走出來看到他露出欣喜的笑容,
這時媽媽突然回頭對鐵罐說:「叫爸爸!」
鐵罐心想:「好奇怪,這個男的是誰,為什麼我要叫他爸,難道媽...?」
媽媽看鐵罐一點動靜都沒有,就再一次對她說:「叫爸爸!」
鐵罐還是無動於衷,瞪著眼睛望著媽媽和那個男人,
決定以沉默代表自己最後的人性尊嚴。
媽媽大聲且語帶威脅的說:「快給我叫爸爸!」
鐵罐和媽媽僵持著。
媽媽急了也火了,伸出右手狠狠的打了鐵罐一巴掌,
並且大吼:「叫爸爸!」
鐵罐頓時傻了沒想到媽媽竟會為了一個陌生男人而打他,
鐵罐難過的哭了出來,對著陌生人說:「爸爸.......」
媽媽這時說:「你白癡阿~~~~~~~~你這樣叫爸爸,他聽的到嗎?
人家來修水塔,你趕快到房裡去叫爸爸帶他上頂樓。」
(this situation is just like one time piggy was asking me to "關起來"....
gee...what the hell should I know which she was driving at....door or dehumidifier????)
Misunderstanding might not be a problem, but "quick response for impatient and furious attitude" can really put a damper on your whole day!
