Men asking questions from another room!

Haha I know. Mine does it all the time. It’s very annoying.

I know too. My OH does this.

What most annoys me about it is that he is very hard of hearing now, so even if I can hear him, there is no way he will hear my reply!

What I haven't worked out yet is whether he 'forgets' that he won't hear my answer, or if he actually expects me to get up and go through to whichever room he is in.

Whichever it is, it is frustrating, though almost certainly as much so for him as for me.

Oldnproud I could have written that myself!

Same in our house! Drives me potty. I'm expected to get up and go to wherever he is. I keep telling him to book a hearing test but he just smiles. He'll happily go to the opticians but won't admit he's hard of hearing.

I hear DH when he does that, but my selective hearing decides whether I want to respond or do as he’s asking.

It's not only men....DD has the exact same habit and even shouting back to her "No, Can't hear you" is no deterrent.

She says it's while the query is on her mind so she doesn't get distracted & forget what she was going to ask, which is fair enough I suppose but still very annoying.

I do that. I pose a question to DH and he answers: I heard you say 'Fred' and then it sounded like nnnnnnnnn.

We both do it! Guilty as charged The stupid thing is when shouting from another room, we almost know the likelihood is the other person won't hear, it's a sort of idiotic hope that they might glean the gist. My stock answer to o/h when he's doing it to me is "no didn't hear any of that just a noise" Damn cheeky of me really, given I do the same

My OH does this but occasionally I do it !!!

My wife does it all the time, definitely not a male trait

yep but im guilty too

Hand up here as guilty.
