zianurayTwo recent examples:
Sis and I had been discussing my Faire sandals. She asked, "Do you wear them all the time?" Since I was wearing tennyflops(those open-heeled things with the front half like a tennis shoe) at the time, I answered "No," with a tad of puzzlement.
She went OFF on me. Apparrently I was supposed to know she meant "Do you wear them places other than Faire? Shopping, around town, etc?"
*Wailing*
But that's not what she ASKED!
Sophie-at-work asked "What kind of candles do you make?"
"What do you mean?"
"What kind of candles do you make????!!!!?!?!?!"
"Wax with a wick? Dragons and Cats and Wizards Oh My?"
Mary had to intervene to find out she wanted to know if I made jar candles with scents.
*Break for sarcasm*
Why am I not picking up on what people want to know instead of what they are asking? Guess I should have taken that ESP course back in the 80's.
*Back to rant*
GoDs, PeoPle, ASK the Question You WANT ANSWERED!!
