Yeah, petty miscommunication is silly but I've always had a fascination for stories were the characters literally can't communicate for external reasons (a curse, an outside figure with real trust/authority, things like that). Like, for instance, one of my favorite fairy tales is the Seven Swans, where all kinds of horrible things happen because the princess CANNOT tell her husband what is happening.
Then it's fascinating to watch them try to work through that and the angst/horror factor is spine tingling.
