Think this would annoy me more than her, thus not in the spirit of the thread m8s

This annoys my kids and my wife, but I pretend the dog can talk to me. This started as a thing I’d say to the kids - Frank talks to me and mummy when you’re asleep, but my wife admonished me for it so now I pretend Frank doesn’t talk to her anymore cause she upset him.

This includes laughing out loud randomly at the dinner table while looking at the dog, and firing a finger gun at him.
Saying “Frank and I discussed this…”

Etc

I can say without irony that it is a brilliant album. The stegosaurus song sounds like Yo La Tengo or something

I do this thing where I ask him a question and I don’t listen to the answer because my brain has already moved onto the next thing. Then I remember I need an answer to the initial question so I ask him again but then I get distracted and don’t listen to the answer then he starts getting frustrated and saying he’s not bothering answering because I never listen anyway so I PROMISE I will listen and then maybe I do, maybe I don’t.
I’m a dick :upside_down_face:

My darling partner does a thing where she’ll ask me a question but will already have assumed what my answer is going to be and then reacts based on the assumed response and not the actual response.

I do not find this to be particularly endearing.

I don’t do that. That’s worse!
@avery does this though. Especially if we’re communicating via text rather than speech. It’s VERY annoying and has cost us £££

My wife does this, particularly when making herself a cup of tea. She’ll come in, ask if I want a cup of tea, ignore the answer, go and put the kettle on, come back and ask me again, go back in the kitchen and it’s about 50:50 at this point as to whether a third time of asking will be needed.

I don’t get annoyed though because she’s doing all the going back and forward and I get a cup of tea at the end. :+1:

You should know my brain skips half of every sentence I read and to double check any information you’ve given me, just like I know I can answer any question you’ve asked in whatever way i want to for the first 5 times, until I’ve reminded you that listening to answers is part of the information gleaning process that begins with asking questions.

My mum does this - it’s infuriating

There’s a song on an album that was released this year that whenever I’m playing it and it gets to the guest vocalist part, @Gnometorious asks what it is. This has happened in excess of ten times and still she doesn’t do it intentionally. The other day, the morning after it had last happened, we were having a walk and the song popped into her head and she was all like, Who IS that song by? so i decided to answer by saying “say, there was one of those chocolates that you stick into the top of an ice cream cone, and it belonged to a popular band featuring 3 sisters that we saw doing a surprise set last time we were at Primavera, this artists name would sort of rhyme with that” the fact that it doesn’t really is besides the point. I managed to keep up the game the WHOLE way home. I had so much fun.

Haim’s Flake?

What?

Corrs Twix?
