Explain what you did about it and what you would do (or advise someone else to do) to avoid the problem in the future. en-us 2022-03-13 12:49:37 UTC 2022-03-25 20:13:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Umemah Shakeel https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092494069 I faced miscommunication due to homonyms, as I was saying something else but my friends took it in a very wrong way. So I explained to them again and that's how I fixed this problem.


Another miscommunication occur due to the tone of the message, as in writing you can't see another person’s expression and it makes it difficult to convey your tone, and to solve this problem I started using an emoticons

I wanted to handle things on my own because I don’t trust anyone else around me to do what needs to be done effectively. So what i did was i talked to them in a polite way and told them that i wanted to know their opinions too. I listened to all of them but did how i wanted my things to be done. In the end i was happy that i did my work the way i wanted to and they were glad too that i heard them too.]]> 2022-03-13 19:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092598715 Bisma Ajmal https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092636335 Once I said something in a family gathering sarcastically. Except 2 of my cousins, all the other family members were elders. Due to the generation gap and the age difference, the elders were not able to understand my sarcasm and totally misunderstood it. This made them think that I misbehaved. Later, I was scolded by my parents, and I had to tell them that what I meant was totally different than what they understood. It was totally miscommunication. The problem was rectified by communicating with the elders and talking the whole matter out. 

I would suggest people to be careful and not use words and terms while communicating with elders that are not understood by them.

He thought I had a crush on her that we were cheating on him. He broke up with her and ended friendship with me and never gave us a chance to explain. Recently, he got to know there was nothing between us it was all just in his mind and total miscommunication. So, the lesson is don’t overreact in a jiffy and hear the other person’s side too.

During my childhood I used to think that my cousin is a Hindu whenever she used to fold her hands as Hindus do while performing there rituals and due to this gesture of her I once ask her her that do you belong to Hindu community due to which her parents scold me a lot but later onward as I grow up and tried to figure out the meaning of this gesture so then I started realizing that my judgement was wrong at that time and the suggestion that I want to give to others is that you should first seek knowledge and clear your understanding before judging any one so quickly . ]]> 2022-03-13 20:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092650281 Muhammad Saeed https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092667546 When my friend asked me what I wanted to drink, I told him I would like a coke but he got a Pepsi.

I suggest him to listen carefully]]> 2022-03-13 21:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092667546 Rameen Khan https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092677355 1)I faced miscommunication when I was a CR in the last semester. I had to send all the presentations to the teacher before 10. So just to confirm that I am emailing her on the right email. I asked her that can you please confirm me your email and she responded angrily and said that this not how you ask a teacher, you should send me the email and then ask me that " ma'am is this is your email address on which I have to send the files". She thought that I am being too causal. 
I solved this by saying sorry to her and messaged her again by correcting myself. 
So I have learned that I should be more formal and clear while talking to teachers. 
2) when I was in 8th grade, my maths teacher scolded me for making noise even though it was some other girl. Since it was not my fault so I tried to tell her that it was someone else but she thought that I am arguing with her and disrespecting her. 
I solved this by talking to her in the break time and said to her that I wasn't disrespecting her. 
To avoid this next time I try not to talk while teacher is scolding and when she is angry. ]]> 2022-03-13 21:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092677355 Anum Iftekhar https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092685574 1)I faced the miscommunication when i was having some sort of serious discussion with a friend and suddenly she left me on read and she didn't replied after some time too, so I thought that she's avoiding me or she's not a genuine friend of mine. However, on the other hand she thought that I will understand her, or will think that there might a problem because of she wasn't replying and will contact. But none of us contacted each other after that conversation. This miscommunication was later solved when she messaged me to ask where am I so then we both discussed over that matter and got to know that it was just about different perceptions about each other. Because of this miscommunication I learnt that communication is the key i should've asked her what happened, so now I won't do such mistake again.
2)Another miscommunication happened when I wanted to change my section and  program manager told me about some requirements which I never heard so I asked him that I didn't know about these requirements before, he thought I am pointing that he's wrong and making excuses to not change my section, he replied to me angerly that "you will teach me about the policies". But later I apologized and told him about my surprise reaction. By this I understood that I should be more formal with teachers if they say such thing which I don't know I won't ask questions but will search about such things.

When I returned in the morning around 6 both my parents were up and they scolded me for going late at night. I told them that i asked your permission for this and they replied by saying that it wasn’t asking a permission but just telling us about your plan, We never allowed you. That day i got to know that you gotta ask for permission in a proper way and from then I corrected my ways of asking for a permission from my Parents and to wait for a proper reply before doing something.]]> 2022-03-13 23:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2092717419 Maham Siddiqui https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093183952 I faced miscommunication, when I was talking to my best friend. I always think that she understand me in every aspect of life. So, one day I was talking with her on a call and I wasnt feeling well. So, I was telling about my things to her , but I felt she isn't listening to me. So, I started an argument with her instead of listening to her
So after an hour, I realized that I was continuously shouting on her and not listening to her carefully that's why it creates or cultivates a miscommunication in between us.

After this I had face miscommunication again, I was talking to my BRM professor. He told me to submit an assignment on saturday along with the research paper. At that time, I didnt focused on the words of research paper,  only I heard assignment. So, I submitted assignment but not with the research paper. So, it creates a difficulty for me, sir deduct 5 marks due to this miscommunication . That day,  I learnt always listen carefully to sir and write it down the main things on a paper or book so its easy to recall the things.]]> 2022-03-14 05:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093183952 Muhammad Hammad Khan https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093189860 Once I booked an Uber to go somewhere. The driver called me and asked the exact location of my pickup, I explained that it was near a HBL branch, however, he thought I was talking about the Habib Bank Plaza which is two streets away from my pickup and he arrived there. I believe that this miscommunication happened because of the literal noise on the streets which made it hard for us to communicate effectively, along with his experience of knowing the location of HB Plaza better than where I intended for him to arrive.

I rectified the situation by carefully guiding him and throwing in a few other landmarks near me to help him understand. ]]> 2022-03-14 05:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093189860 https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093203955 Shahwaiz Fazeel

Miscommunication and overcommunication they both had changed the dynamics of my life because i lost my bestfriend to that.
I use to share everything with her and she use to do the same until one day she met someone who broke her trust and she started to judge me and treat me with the same manner as her previous experience.
I tried to ask her continously about why it all seems different between us and she never answered which led us to be distant from each other and till today we both know how she messed our bond with her judgement on life based on someone else’s experience.
Changed me as a person that made me realise that i probably over communicated hence i stopped trusting people now.]]> 2022-03-14 06:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093203955 Dania Qamer https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093257983 Once I ordered a chocolate cake for my brother's birthday from a well-known bakery as a big party was planned, when the cake was delivered I got to know that it was a coffee cake nobody in our family eats coffee cake I got annoyed and immediately went to the bakery with my father the manager listen to the matter politely and told that due to the noise on the phone he misinterpreted that the coffee cake was ordered he felt sorry for the inconvenience and then give a chocolate cake and thus misconception was cleared.
Another miscommunication that I faced was when one day my friend ask me to go to a lunch but I refused her without giving her any reason so she though that I was being rude to her and ignoring her and she did not talk to me for 2 days but after that I message her and tell that I was disturbed as my grandmother was not feeling well.]]> 2022-03-14 06:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093257983 https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093277205 Alishba

This once I was talking about the issues I started to have with a very close friend of mine and i ended up sharing the entire story which led me to believe that her being so close to me probably have a similar perspective on the topic and she believed i was right but in reality she had created a judgement on my story which was spreaded amongst all the people around except for me that led to the bond between us being damaged.
It made me start to trust less after that and now i have filtered people out of my life and share with only the person i trust the most.]]> 2022-03-14 07:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2093277205 https://padlet.com/siddiqisahar1/e3xgrr5yynemdub3/wish/2114409827 My sister and I wanted to surprise my brother on his birthday by decorating the room with balloons and other stuff so we thought to go to our nearby supermart to get the stuff. We wanted to keep it a SURPRISE so we didn’t tell anyone and went with the (auto) rickshaw walay uncle. We didn’t ask for the transportation cost as we knew 150 is the max rate till supermart when we reached there I gave him 150 and he was like beta ‘dhai soo’ I was like “ jee dey tou diye apko” and then he said ye “ daid soo” hain. We argued a lot about the extra money he was taking from us but in the end, we had to give him 200. 
The first miscommunication we faced was that we didn’t ask him for the charges and he didn’t even tell. The second miscommunication was that I wasn’t able to differentiate bw  “daid and dhai soo” So from then whenever we have to go from auto first we ask and confirm the amount in English also because I don’t understand the logic behind the daid and dhae when we can say 150 and 250.




second :

Once in a group project, we were 3 friends and we were supposed to work equally according to our teacher. We planned that we would come to the campus and complete it, I had a high fever for a few days and a dry cough but I still managed and went. we did some part of it in the library by coming an extra day however some part of the project was still left. We had to summit in the next class (that was our last class) So on the very last day a lot of the work was left and we only had half n hour and My brain was feeling like dead because of severe flu and fever. My brain and I weren't able to function a single thing so I said to my team members I couldn't work “mujhsy nai houra meri tabiyat kharab hai “I’ll do it later or you guys do your part and submit it. 
I don't run from work assignments or anything they knew very well. I complete and score well Alhumdullilah. This was the first time when I was left with no option but to refuse and sleep for some time. I said we will take some time from our teacher and summit till tomorrow and there’s less time left so we won’t be able to do it properly now but they didn’t agree so I slept for half n hour and exactly after half n hour I woke up, asked them if there’s something left so I can do they were like no it's already done. 
On the very next day when we had to present it all the graphs and data entered was wrong :) I had to change all the data on the same day and submit it in 2 hours. So basically then went like “dramy hain” and she’s giving silly reasons they made a joke out of it and told others in the group. Due to their mindsets and experience, they took my matter as a silly reason. Consideration is the thing people should have in them and doing something wrong on time is not better than doing something right a little late. The problem wasn’t rectified but in the end, they did what I was saying “summit late but do it properly” 🤷‍♀️
