A friend and I were playing foosball at the beginning so it was a bit loud, but this is the longest chain of miscommunication I've had in a while!

“So where are you heading next?”
                                                                             “I’m going to Ching.”

“... Ching?”  
                                                                        “Ng [pronounced 'ing'].”

“Oh, Ng.”
                                                                                               “No, Ink.”

“... Ink?”
                                                                                                    “Tink!”

“Tink ... as in Tinkle?”
                                                                                                  “DINK!”

“Oh Dink, that place right down the block?”
                                                                                   “Yes, that place!”
