What do you mean by?

Title: What do you mean by?



Target Audience: Anybody explaining something to you



Offensive Threat: Low-medium



Scheme: This is one I actually just started. I am digging this live blogging thing, and may try to do it more often. For this shenanigan, all you need to do is question what the simplest word in the persons sentence means. When they answer the question, do it again. Keep hammering down until they freak out. A sample conversation would go something like this.



Annoyee: Nice day today isn't it?

Annoyer: What do you mean by day?

Annoyee: Like, today, Tuesday. The weather is good.

Annoyer: What do you mean by good?

Annoyee: It's nice out. The sun is shining and it's warm!

Annoyer: What do you mean by warm?

Annoyee: I hate you so much @#$&*(!!!!!

Why It’s Annoying: When somebody is trying to speak, they do not enjoy their train of thought to be constantly interrupted. When you continue to question their intentions, this will drive them nuts. You can turn this into a game as well. Count how many lines you can hammer down until the person catches on, then gets noticeably frustrated, and then just says screw it and walks away. Make it your own personal challenge among your friends.
