  • No, but I do understand what you are saying.

    Just a new pet peeve but it's been happening more often, lately.

    I am speaking to someone on the phone and they are explaining or describing something to me. Periodically through the conversation they will ask "Do you feel me?" (translation: Do you understand what I'm saying?) It just drives me nuts now.

    Does anyone else get this?

    "Do you feel me?"

    -Over the phone? That's not even possible!
    -No, you're not my type.
    -No, I'm not that kind of person.

    I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

      "Do you feel me?"

      No, the judge told me I'm not allowed to do that anymore.
      Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...

        I'm mean I like to say 'Oh I apologize, I'm an old lady and not up on the latest Slang. What do you mean by that?"

          Sixties flashback? That's a strange one Sheldon. Maybe there's some new managementy type book making the rounds. Hey! We can look forward to every idiot in the world trying to sound special with phrases like "Do you feel me, going forward to own this process?"

            I totally grok that!

            Are we experiencing a return to the age of Jive and nobody bothered to tell me? Plus, the last time I tried to "feel" someone over the phone, it involved me wanting to strangle them.
            If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

              Sorry sir, until they invent technology where I can physically touch someone over the phone, I cannot. Unless of course, you'd like to come over wearing a posing pouch and THEN I'll feel you

                          It could also be Wierd Al Yankovic if you alter the lyrics slightly, but that's neither here nor there.

                          To a greater extent I get annoyed with the whole implication that I can't possibly know what the customer is going through. They give me the long endless speech about why they wanted to find a product, or what service they were hoping to get, and it's all irrelevant in the end. Storytime as some may call it.

                              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
