when trying to ascertain something, will ask you a question or questions that don’t sound like they relate to what they’re trying to find out because for whatever reason they’re unable to ask the question they want to ask explicitly. So they do it in a really sneaky, ulterior motive kinda way. Some lad on my course does it. I always know when he’s doing it because he’ll message me with a really easy question that I know he knows the answer to. And then he’ll follow it up with something similar to the real question he wants to ask, or a question in which he finds out how much work I’ve done for something without actually asking me that. Absolutely despise it. I take nothing he says at face value because I know there’s a hidden meaning everytime.
- yeah i think i know what you mean actually

U-huh. Bit of a boss-at-work habit, this, actually.
