The infamous literal interpretation strikes again! When asked "Can you call me a taxi at 7am tomorrow?", Dad responds with "You're a taxi" at exactly 7:00. Classic case of parsing the request as a string rather than understanding the intent—just like when you ask a junior dev to "make the button blue" and they change the text color instead of the background. This is basically what happens when humans run on strict syntax rules without semantic understanding. No wonder QA departments exist.
