Things to Say When You Didn't Hear What Somebody Said |
|
My hearing aint as good as it used to be & a lot of what people say aint worth hearing to start with, much less asking them to repeat it, so you need to have a few all-purpose sayings handy when you have no idea what the other guy said. They might look at you a little weird if it doesnt fit the situation perfectly, but usually it seems to satisfy. Like, for instance...
Well, it just goes to show.
or
That really takes the cake.
or
If that isn't the truth!
or
Well, you never know.

Sometimes I ask, but usually, who cares? Sometimes they repeat it & I still can't hear or understand. Or else it doesnt nake sense anyway. A lot of times people say things that just dont make any sense. Som I say something like, "Now I heard everything." And a funny look comes over their face as they try to fit it in to what they said. Course it doesnt work is they ASKED you something. Like if your neighbor asks you if he can borrow a wrench, and you don't know what the hell he said and you say "Boy, you can say that again."

There are few things more embarassing than being "busted" for not having been paying attention to what someone was saying when they were talking to you.

8. Right, like when theyre spilling some big emotional thing |
|
and theyre all getting trusting & shit & it's real important to them & your mind kind of wanders off on its own for a while and youre nodding or going "Yeah" on the phone but your not listening and nothing's registering but your own self-centered musings and then all of a sudden you hear: "So what do you think I should do?" Huh? "Uh, well it depends."
