What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
“Are you sure?” Do I answer politely, or use the sarcasm bubbling up inside of me?
Sarcasm, often times comes out, even when I don’t mean it to. “Are you sure?” We’ve all asked someone this. And we’ve all been on the receiving end of this question. Yet every time someone asks me “Are you sure?”, I can feel the sarcastic remarks knocking around in my brain. I usually take a moment before I give my answer to think about the context, situation and the person asking. Do I know them well enough to give a sarcastic response? Did my tone imply that I’m not sure? So they know something I don’t know?
And unless I’ve known you for a while, I’ll probably hit back with “Yes, I’m sure.” Because in reality, I’m not going to agree to do something unless I’m sure. Even if you think it’s going to be an inconvenience to me. It’s not. So you don’t need to ask. I’m happy to do whatever it is I agreed to do or get.
