19 People Who Tend to Take Instructions Way Too Literally

Science says that around 75% of the communication we receive is interpreted the wrong way. With this number, it’s no wonder why we misunderstand each other so often. And while communication is the key to many problems, miscommunication or a literal understanding of things can lead to funny situations. We got all of our ducks and a row and found pictures of people who seem to have lost their heads for a minute.
