It's great for portraying dismissiveness and disdain, but it doesn't work for much else.

The worse part of the accidental misunderstanding is that it's supposed to be funny, but it's usually just tedious instead. It's just on a rote list of things that every light shounen romance needs to have - alongside the accidental grope, the oohs and aahs over how awesome the female characters are and so on.
