This mum left her son a simple note about his laundry… and he decided to take the mick in epic style
When Jason Coakley saw a Post-it note attached to his shirt he took the instructions written on it by his mum far too literally
A MUM left a Post-it note with some simple instructions for a chore she wanted her son to do but the outcome wasn't what she expected as he took them way too literally.
Jason Coakley, 15, woke up to find a white shirt folded on a table with a note from his mum saying: “Can you hang this out please. Ta, Mum.”
So, the student whose studying geology and petroleum at Aberdeen University, dutifully did exactly what his mum had asked him to and sent her a photo of his efforts.
But when his mum opened up the snap she didn't see the shirt on the line, instead she saw the note neatly pinned to the washing line.
When she realised what he'd done, Jason's mum sent him a hilarious text response saying: “Are you thick!!!!!!! I meant to hang the shirt out gimp boy!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!”
Jason posted the text exchange on social media and it has already generated 32,000 retweets, with many other users sharing their misinterpreted moments.
