Hi,
I understand what the idiom means, but please could you give me some examples?
Sometimes I think this might happen to me, or I might just be slow and stupid, so I would be grateful to know of other's experiences of it.
Last night I was going to help out at a youth group. The adults work in pairs to lead groups. I was told on the way there that my partner wasn't going to be able to come that night. The unspoken implication was that I would have to lead the group alone. The truth of this didn't sink in until I started setting up as I usually do, about 10 minutes later. Thankfully, I don't mind leading groups alone so I was able to adapt.
Had I failed to read between the lines or am I just slow? Incidents like this seem to happen to me fairly often and it's frustrating.
Thank you.
