"I like apples." "What?" "Apples!" "What about them?" *SHMACK*
I hate it when that happens. Why is it that whenever I don't hear somebody say something, they only repeat the end of it? And then they get angry at me when I say "What about them?"! That's foolhardy! Whenever somebody asks me what I said, I say the full sentence! That's just the way to do it!
Does this ever happen to you?
Usually if someone was talking to you in the first place, they'd expect you to miss the last part of the sentence instead of the first or all of the sentence.
Why the last part? Is there something special about it?
YES!! That has happened to me!!
I usually say "can you repeat the first part?" after it
When someone asks me to repeat something i usually just say 'bah nevermind' because most of these are witty comments and the moment would have passed.
in b4 someone says 'what was that?'
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I don't understand half the things my customers say to me at work because a lot of them have thick thick weird Polish/Jamaican/whatever accents and it completely baffles me. So I smile and nod.
That's a good point. I wonder what I do when asked to repeat something.....hmmm....
Usually when someone's talking, after a second of silence their new talking about something catches someone's attention, if the persons attention was waning to begin with, they'll prolly stop paying attention around the middle of the sentence.Originally Posted by Kentarou
It's like when you tell someone a list of things that need to be done usually people get the first half instead of the last. And then if they do get a part of the last half it's like this:
"So I need to do the laundry, and the dishes, and clean the bathroom" "and?" "something about the birds" "what about the birds?" "I don't know, I'll figure it out" "You need to clean their cage and give them new food and water, there was something else after that" "There needs to be a new trashbag in the trashcan" "which needs to be done AFTER you take the garbage out" "OH YEAH.
Oh I used to do that all the time to annoy people when I was 16, and kept it up until they found a way to break the loop. I was one cool dude back then.
I miss entire parts of sentences, consistantly. I have to make stu go back like two whole sentences sometimes because I missed one part of it, and then heard what he said after that, and it's
I eat lunch with a friend who always does this xD
She goes on and on about Naruto and Transformers, and I don't watch either of them so I kinda go off into la-la-land and then
JESSIE!
eh?
What?
huh?
MINICONS!
Mini...what?
Minicons D:
What...about them...?
I don't like repeating myself, and if someone asks me to...oh gods help them.
wait, help who?
I will destroy you !
Hehehe seriously though, I don't know why...it's not like it's a big deal or anything, it just makes me feel as though I'm not getting my point across/communicating properly.
smurf yeah! green apples.
It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen, man.
And no, this never happens to me, but I also happen to have seemingly superhuman hearing.
