Last time this happened to me was my first visit to a Turkish barber. After the third what I was scared of appearing racist because he had such a strong accent, so I just said "aye pal" and gave him a thumbs up hoping that would be the end of it. Then suddenly he had a ball of fire on a stick waving it at my head.

Turns out he was offering me an ear-flame which id never heard of before. Its pretty terrifying with no warning.

I repeat back something generic until someone corrects me

Good enough for management, good enough for me

A collegue of mine did this. She just laughed and said "that's right" before leaving the teams meeting. My boss, confused still in the meeting: "well... I guess we're not getting the description of the API today..."

For me it's probably an ADHD thing. I zone out halfway through the explanation usually.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I’m sorry, what?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 day ago

For me it's because they didn't actually get my attention before they started speaking so I'm still trying to shift gears into active listening mode.

[–] null@lemmy.org 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When you say what three times and they don't talk any louder.

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or reword what they're saying. I don't get that at all. I'll repeat myself once if someone doesn't hear me, if they still don't get it I'll say it louder but also use different words so they have more information, or in case the problem wasnt that they didn't hear me but that they didn't understand.

I've never had to repeat myself more than once because of this. On the other hand, I'm the Scar Jo whenever my wife is saying stuff from 2 rooms away.

Tinnitus plus processing disorders is a real bitch.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

Just tell them they're a mumbly bitch like the grumpy deaf olds we are. WHAT'S THAT? SPEAK UP, YOU MEEK ASS MUMBLY BITCH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE BEES

What? What bees? We're indo-

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

This is also a thing when you're somewhere you don't speak the language natively. When you're not fluent you have to strike a balance between trying to understand what someone's saying and not asking them to constantly repeat every single word in a sentence, so a lot of times you kind of end up smiling and nodding with only a vague understanding of what's going on.

Stevelet Johannscemi looks confused.

SAY "WHAT" AGAIN! I DARE YA! I DOUBLE-DARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER!! SAY "WHAT" ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!

I'm bad with facial recognition, but that looks like a butch ScarJo to me.

It's Scarlett Johansson in Marriage Story with Adam Driver which I thought was quite good

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Thanks! I'll attempt to watch it, though I find Adam Driver unbearable.

He's good in things that aren't Star Wars.

Him and Andrew Garfield were incredible in Silence. Outstanding film if anyone hasn't seen it.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I found him the whiniest Sith Lord ever. Compared to Vader, all Ren did was piss and moan about how much of a victim he was. Vader just got on with the job. Ren looked like a big man-baby. Vader looked intimidating as fuck.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

You're not wrong.

[–] SourDrink@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He's amazing on Saturday Night Live. Really leans into the acting.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Gotta learn to ask "what?" a different way

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I made this fave after one of my roommates got drunk, shit on the floor at night, then peaced out for class in the AM, leaving his turd on the floor.

Nah, just sensory issues.
