I hate this do you?

Question

when some one say do you mind if i use this and the other person says yes but they mean the person can use it. So they sohuld really be saying no the DONT mind. It drives me crazY!!!!!

Answer 1

Well even I can get angry over trivial things like that. The best solution to these kind of problems is good councelling.

Answer 2

I usually reply to them: "So you DO mind?"

I think what they're afraid of is that if they say "No", the asker will think they mean "No, you cannot use it".  

When answering that one, I usually say "No, you may use it".

Answer 3

ummm okkk i guess i get what your saying
