Say One Thing, Mean Another Do you ever get annoyed by people who say one thing but mean another? For example, they say you, 'That's a very kind of you, I'd love to' when you are invite them to the cinema, but really they are thinking of an excuse so they can avoid you! People who ask for an advice also annoy me. They say things like 'What do you think I should do?' but then they don't listen to what you tell with them. Sometimes they don't even let you answer, but answer themselves! This really gets on to my nerves. Politeness is also a problem, when people ask to you to open a window, they say 'Excuse me, but it could you possibly open the window for me?' I prefer to be more direct. Why shouldn't we just ever say 'Can you to open the window?' or something like that? I've tried this a few times, but people either look annoyed, or they don't do it what I ask them to. I wonder why?
