I just went to Subway, and got a 12' long sandwich.
Well the guy asks me something when he was done with my sandwich, and for the life of me I could not understand what he said. And it wasn't loud in the store. So I say, "I'm sorry?"
And he said it again, and it just sounded like "Blag blar Blee Blow bleh ?"
I just looked at him. And I was going to ask again, but I know what the result would have been, so I just smiled and nodded my head. He seemed confused yet happy with that.
Funny thing is, I could understand everything he said up until then, and everything after. Just not that one phrase.
I hope he isn't in the bathroom waiting for a quickie, or outside with a dime bag expecting to make a sale.
 
Many times. I've also done it many, many, many times because I just didn't care enough about what the person was saying to listen to them.
 
I do that occasionally. Usually if I have to make them repeat it a second time I use the old "I'm sorry, I'm nearly deaf..." line, just to be polite.

I'm thinking the same thing. I listen to music wayyyy too loud.

running lawnmowers without ear protection will cause hearing loss too.

 
if it's someone like my granny, i just smile and nod

if it's a cashier at a checkout line or at a coffee shop, I say "i'm sorry" once. if I still don't get what they're saying, I just say "no thanks, that'll be all" with a smile.

i dunno why, it's just weird, but this has happened to me twice at coffee shops... i can hear everything the girl is saying, then caramba, she goes "mmmhph glumph nit?" and not wanting to appear deaf, i smile and nod. and i end up paying double for my coffee because apparantly I just said yes to something stupid.
