Exactly, I write a literal message with a literal if/then meaning. She reads it as "my partner is out in the rain and would like me to help".

Of course I think _my_ communication style is "better". But the best communication style is actually the one that communicates your thoughts to the other person, not the one that "makes the most sense".

And meanwhile there are still cases where it will be the other way around and I am going "well I said X, but surely you could have read between the lines..."

So yeah, the best response is to tell her about the miscommunication so she can know better next time, but it's stupid to try and say she was "wrong". It takes two!
