I was going through the drive-thru at Taco Bell. I paid and then the employee told me to go to the first window (to pick up my food). So I drove past the next window and headed to the front of the building. My assumption was that if a building was going to have its windows numbered, then the first window would naturally be by the front door.
The thing that really bothered me was my confusion once I realized I needed to go back for my food. I sat in the parking lot trying to figure out where my reasoning had gone wrong. Then it occurred to me I should have heard it as...Go to the first window (you come to). The sentence was referencing me not the building.
Anyway...stuff like this happens to me. I was in my 40s at the time.
