The 3 Whats rule

[Robbo]

Michael McIntyre pointed something out that is true most people say 'what' to someone 3 times when they don't hear what is being said then on the 3rd 'what' just accept what they thought they heard the other person say an example i have is:

I was in this club called Imperia,l and i started talking to this guy and he asked me my name so i told him then i asked his and all i kept hearing was Gemphis, now this is not a name. I asked 3 times then accepted it and he seemed to respond to Gemphis later we exchanged numbers and he is saved as Gemphis although i haven't seen him since so he is getting removed from contacts.

That was the best story I've ever read.

[Rocky]

can I invite you to parties? to tell your story, I mean.

[loaf]

What?

I'm seriously asking. What? I didn't understand one sentence in your story Squall. Sober up.

[RagnaToad]

Punctuation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But yeah, I think everyone kind of gives up after the third time. Just smile and hope it wasn't a question, right?

[Polk]

Can an admin change Squall's username to Gemphis?

[Clint]

Aw man, that Gemphis guy is a ****.

[OceanEyes28]

Um, holy shit.


Guys, try to be on topic. Tell stories about how you didn't hear things correctly?

[che]

We sorta were! We were talking about how we couldn't read Squall's post well. I almost wanted to just post "what?"

someone said to me once 'you know madonna hermafrodite' when they were really saying 'you wanna go mcdonalds for a mcflurry'
he was the kind of person that could make you laugh from simply reading out the phone book, though he was a spastic

Why would you hear that instead of just about anything else? Are you another Lady Gaga hater? Eff you!

[loaf]

I've said that phrase to myself like 50 times Sean, and it doesn't sound like McDonald's and McFlurry at all.

[Rocky]

With all due respect, me and Hugh Hefner have been known to hang out quite a bit, so yeah some could say that my parties are pretty amazing.

no i was talkin bout mcflurrys not her
and the guy speaks in a really jarred way so its hard to believe but thats what it sounded like

how admirable, and i liked the part when you used my catchphrase that was really clever


what?

[Robbo]

Okay edited, If you still don't understand it, Please don't let me know

[RagnaToad]

And yet punctuation seems to be a difficult task for you, event though it is essential for the readability of prose.

[loaf]

Squall, it literally looks and sounds the same. This is now my 3rd time asking what btw.

[che]

Oyoy, mate.

So my homie Michael McIntyre pointed something out that I believe is true. Most people respond with "what?" a maximum of three times before giving up and just accepting what they thought they heard. Let me give you a background story.

I was in this ballin ass club called 'Imperial', even though I'm like 12 and can't properly punctuate. After a few drinks, I started talking to this cute guy. He asked me my name so I smiled and told him. "Mark, you can call me Marky though." I then asked for his, however all I kept hearing was "Gemphis". I couldn't believe that I had heard him correctly, because I was drunk and it's not possible in my mind for someone to be named this. I gave him the rule of 3 before I actually accepted his name as Gemphis. After that, I was like "whatever, names don't matter", and got his number. I saved it as Gemphis but I still don't believe that's his real name even though he responded to it a few times after that. Since I'm so skeptical, I'll just have to think of a cute nickname for him like "honeybear".

Oyoy, mate.

Not how i remembered it, but i was pretty drunk and i'm 17 you only need to be 18 here dude.
