Does it annoy you if you have to repeat yourself?

[Still-alive]

Like you say something and the other person didn't hear or wasn't listening and you have to repeat what you said.

Yes it annoys me a lot

Sometimes it does

It's not a big deal for me

once or twice is fine, but multiple times would annoy the heck out of me.

If i have to repeat myself just because they didn't hear me its ok. but if its because they did hear but weren't listening i wouldn't like that

Both D and E for me!

This is a complete non issue for me

Depends who it is. This may have triggered me just now.


Tigger warning for those who had difficulties with their dads.



When my dad would ask me “what?” As a kid there were only 4 possible options. 1) repeat what I said a bit louder (dad would tell me “don’t yell at me”). 2) repeat what I said slower (dad would tell me “don’t condescend me.”) 3) repeat what I said exactly as I said it. Dad would say “I still can’t understand you.” 4) Walk away. Dad would yell “I’m just trying to understand you.”


Clearly this question triggered me. Ugh.

No it does not. Some people have a hard time with comprehension or don't speak good English, or something is distracting them. I am usually a patient person.

[TenderFantasy]

Thanks for the MHO honey lol. I wanted to add understanding really, not just patient. 😛

[snackthatsmilesback]

It's not a big deal. I have a shit time understanding in any loud place or if I'm not looking right at them, so people often have to repeat for me anyway. I try to guess as much as I can to not be too annoying, but at this point most people who I hang out with know to get my attention before saying something they want me to listen to.

[asphaltrhymes]

I also voted that sometimes it does.
Depends also whether I'm being baited or just wasting my breath, lol repeating myself 😀

I'm ok with repeating once or twice, but if they still ask me to repeat it for a third time then it pisses me off. I feel like they're mocking me.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'm usually a very patient individual but having to repeat myself (especially often) annoys me.

[petitedollbabee]

Not at all, as someone with an auditory processing disorder, I make people repeat themselves all the time. I don’t mind doing the same for others.

[MementoMori777]

Freaking hate it bro, I don't got the patience to be a record player lol

[Pete671]

yes it's extremely annoying, especially from deaf people who say "what?" before you finished speaking, yes I know that sounds horrible of me,,,

[Pink2000]

I often have to repeat myself because I have such a low voice. It does annoy me

[Mangospacho]

I didn’t get that. What’s the question again?

[Sparkie460]

I don't mind repeating myself once every so often but 2 and 3 times pisses me off.

[najekim]

Wife's hearing is demishing so I do have to repeat myself sometimes.

[itsalyssaagain]

It really really annoys me

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, it does annoy me
