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
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.
For me it’s probably an ADHD thing. I zone out halfway through the explanation usually.
I’m sorry, what?
When you say what three times and they don’t talk any louder.
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.
Stevelet Johannscemi looks confused.
Female steve bumski?
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
Gotta learn to ask “what?” a different way
Whaaaaaaaaat?
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.
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.
