Is it really that hard to be polite when you don't understand something? Can I please get more that a grunt, or "what?". If I don't hear you, I will usually say "I'm sorry?" or "I beg your pardon?". But then again, if you ask how I am today, I generally tell you that I am doing "well". Not that I am doing "good". So, what do I know.

I work with a lady who mumbles, pops gum, and has horrid breath. This tends to make conversations a bit hard to maneuver. She has the habit of saying "One more time in English?" when you DAMN WELL know she heard EXACTLY what you said. I have stopped responding to her when she uses that phrase, even if she really does need more instruction.
