My wife… I ask “what?” and she repeats either just the subject, or the sentence without the subject – never the full sentence.
“We still need to pack for our trip.”
“What?”
“Our trip!”
“What about it?”
My girlfriend will just start talking about something we were talking about 6 weeks ago as though it’s still salient.
My wife does this, too! There will be no context, she just “continues the conversation” as if I’m supposed to have any idea what she’s talking about.
I have to do this too at times with my dad. He’ll come bursting into my office like the Kool Aid man and ask me something completely random and I tell him point blank I have no idea what he’s talking about.
My life with ADH… Oh look there! A bird! What were we talking about?
A Yao Ming face meme. This really is a step back in time
SAY ‘WHAT’ AGAIN!! SAY ‘WHAT’ ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!
OK, so I’ve known a number of Scottish people and I’ve been there a couple of times and generally had no issue understanding them.
However, when working in London years ago, I had to talk to someone based in Scotland on the phone and her accent was just insane.
Honestly it was exactly like this post, she’d say something, I’d say sorry what and this repeated 3 times then…we both burst out laughing. The most insane Scottish accent ever!
Hahahah. I can feel the awkwardness through the screen 👀
nice try stone cold steve austin, we’re all onto your “what” gimmick! WE’VE SEEN IT BEFORE
Lol no I’m walking away after the 3rd ‘what’ a person gives me in a row. That’s a huge pet peeve of mine.
I get anxiety about this though as I have a bit of an audio processing disorder where in any room with a lot of background noise I struggle to process what the person right in front of me is saying.
I don’t really know the best approach beyond pretending to know what the other person is saying.
If there’s a lot of background noise then that’s understandable but for example, the other day I went to home Depot to get some tools for a yard project. I asked an employee where the tillers were and she just said ‘what’ like 3 times in a row. I just said nvm and looked on my own.
I don’t know, I guess it just makes it seem to me like the person is not listening to me so why waste time?
I feel personally attacked
Did people actually upvote this meme
It’s not funny but it’s relatable to some of us
