Ticket confusion

I understand the end user getting confused, but why do technicians refer to the wrong ticket ALL THE TIME???

I was asked to look at a ticket that was closed, nothing abnormal there. And I was given ZERO explanation why I was asked to look i to it.

What they actually meant is that they had a question about a related ticket.

Do these idiots (that get paid more than I do) not know how to communicate? Why tell me to look at A when they need me to look at B??

What did you do this weekend?

Me: what did you do this (regular) weekend?

Boss: I saw [this movie] and it was pretty good. what about you?

Me: plays sound from the end of the movie with really catchy tune and that basically repeats the name of the movie over and over.

Boss: what’s that?

When is the event again?

Relative calls and says we are having an event tomorrow, at x time. And that 2 hours prior they will be elsewhere.

What they meant was: I will be at this other event tomorrow. Our event is the day after that at this other time.
