      I may be able to answer that, only because I do it so much. Haha.

      For me, sometimes it just takes a second for what was said to process. My mind might have been wandering, when the words were spoken, and I involuntarily felt the impulse to respond, before what was said really sank it. So, I end up saying "what?" as the sentence I'd just heard is piecing itself together in my head.

      That's just me, though.

      I've always wondered what people thought about that, though. No one's ever said anything about it, but I do it a lot. Lol.

      Yeah I do that too, your mind has that part of it, I don't remember what its called cause it's been 4 years since I took psychology, but it's like a constant instant replay we can use to replay everything our senses just picked up, whether we were paying attention or not. Someone will say something, I didn't listen, then instant replay comes in and I realize what they said.

      Okay I have one, why the fuck can't people just inform other people without being assholes about it? If someone is wrong, why does someone who knows what's "right" have to correct them in the most obnoxious way possible? Why do people have to act like everything they know is supposed to be painfully obvious to the rest of the world?

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      When people think that mob rule is a form of democracy or that democracy is more important than an ethical grounding for politics... so it's like "OK, we have more than 50% who think that gays can't marry... so they can't. We have more than 50% who think that people can't smoke pot in their private homes... so they can't. We have more than 50% who think that Intelligent Design is an alternative to Evolution in schools, so it is. We have more than 50% who think black people should have no rights so they don't." ????!!

      I once bought like 7 pairs of socks that had the weekdays on them but I don't remember a single instance where I actually wore 2 corresponding socks at the same time. You would think that by chance I'd get it right at least once, alas, not a single time. Not even talking about wearing them on the correct day either, that would be overkill.

      That definitely doesn't make sense. It's like they're struggling against being worn as correct pairs.

      I've been worried about that insane flag burning amendment possibility for 20 years now. I don't think we will ever have it, but way too many people want it because the flag represents the freedom to speak out against the government.

      A lot of times, people know what I said and then say, "What?" and don't go ahead and answer. They just keep acting like they didn't hear me, and I feel the need to ask the question again.

      That reminds me of something else. I will be in a conversation about ONE person for a while, and then I will ask a question about that person like, "Where is he living these days?" and the person I am talking to will go, "Who?" My response is always, "The person we are talking about."

      Also, I will be talking to the only other person in the room for a few minutes and be talking only about that person and then ask that person a question and get the response of, "Who, me?" Who else???????

      I can answer this one pretty easily.

      I have a hearing problem, which exacerbates this by a whole bunch. There are two reasons why I say what and then answer as if I heard.

      1) I say what out of habit sometimes since my hearing is so bad that what is almost always how I have to answer

      2) My hearing is bad, but good enough that most of the time it just takes me more time to process what people say. This means that at first I don't hear them, but after a few seconds of sub-conscious processing, I remember it as if I had heard them and then know what they said.

      The ability to happily respond to any adversity is the divine.

      Yup, that's EXACTLY what it is. You're brain is really hearing the words and understanding them JUST as the word "what?" is coming out of your mouth.

      This is true for me as well. Bad hearing runs in my family, for the men anyway. I have to pay close attention to people's inflections and various context clues. A lot of times I just nod my head and pretend that I heard what someone said - people can get pretty annoyed when asked to repeat themselves (as we've seen in this thread thanks guys).

      Yes! Its amazing at how good I am at picking out when someone is asking a question and when they are just expecting me to smile and nod. Unless I'm talking with someone that I am pretty comfortable with, I only ask them to repeat themselves when they ask a question that I don't hear and can't infer from the rest of the conversation.

      Ok...

      TV Court Judges...

      ...is it just me or are their bailiffs always - and I mean always - of the opposite* race, regardless of the race of the judge?

      If it's not just me...why do you think it's that way?





      * opposites in relation to white and black

      Wait, you mean if it's a white judge then it's a black bailiff and vice versa?

      I guess it's because everybody knows that chocolate and vanilla go good together. It's the law.

      With all the unbelievable technology we have, all the miraculous medicine and robotic laser surgery, why do I still need to clean my teeth with a piece of string?

      Good question.
      I wish I knew, but I'm not even sure there's an even remotely satisfying answer to that one. It's like how there's no cure for the common cold...I guess it's just low on the list of priorities, what with cancer and AIDS and whatnot.

      Especially considering the number of hypochondriacs out there.
      Maybe this could account for people fatally mixing drugs.
      I blame the drug commercials as well, and the fact that doctors are encouraged to prescribe the newest drugs on the market.


      Another thing:
      Why is it that controlled substances like cocain, lsd, and methamphetamines have a higher scheduling than marijuana and psilocybes? The first two are extremely addictive, potent, and sythetic. The other two are much more mild, much less addictive, and grow naturally. Also, I've never heard of anyone dying from the last two either....I'm not sure where crack and--in my mind the scariest of all--prescription pills fall on that spectrum, but I probably don't want to know...

      And:
      Why is it that nurses/other hospital staff seem so incredibly inept at inserting IV's and taking blood? I've had to point out my own veins to more than one, only to have them still miss them...just thinking, shouldn't you have more experience with this sort of thing than I do?

      There's 4 Fear games
