What do you think of a person?

Question

who says "What?" as their first instictive reaction every time anyone says anything, making them repeat themselves every time even though they are not hard of hearing. What is the reason for this

Answer 1

try saying their name first

like sometimes we get caught up in our own world

my dad does it = it does get annoying, esp when we

talk and then don't for about a minute at dinner, then

he drifts off (mentally) and asks 'what' when we start

talking again

its not like a medical condition, I'm sure, maybe its

just the natural reaction of some ppl

Answer 2

I absolutely HATE that. My friends and family talk about that all of the time.  It is rude and annoying.  When someone says that to me...I usually get very ugly.

Answer 3

I would it annoying but if they had a problem with always doing that and not meaning to id try to help them out. i dont know why the reason is..

Answer 4

OMG, I hate it when people do that!!! IDK why they do it but it sure is annoying. Or like when people ask "What happened" as a greeting? IDK some people I guess never got taught the basic conversation techniques.

Answer 5

I have that problem.  For some reason my mind doesn't register speech as well when I'm not paying direct attention to someone.

Its frustrating.
