Distortion
The book defines distortion as the effects of noise on the recievers ability to process the message (pg. 29). This is a common thing that has happened to me many times. Recently my roomate called me and asked me if I wanted anything from McDonalds. I told him that I wanted a chicken mcnugget meal. Apparently our communication was distorted because he brought me back a happy meal. I was angry and amused at the same time. That was an example where the outcome was not bad but distortion can lead to bad things. I dont have an example for it though.
