You’re Surrounded By Yes-No Men

(I am in the office with my store manager who has had to ask another manager about a discrepancy in the banking. This woman has the annoying habit of adding, “Yeah, Yeah,” or, “No, No,” to just about every sentence she utters.)

Manager #1: “Hey, [Manager #2], we’re having trouble getting this to add up right. Did you do this?”

Manager #2: “Yeah, yeah, no, no, yeah.”

Manager #1: “You did it?”

Manager #2: “Yeah, yeah, no, no, yeah, no.”

Manager #1: “I just need a straight answer: yes or no.”

Manager #2: “Yeah, yeah, no.”

Manager #1: “Oh, for f***’s sake. Is it yes or no?”

Manager #2: “Yeah, no.”

Manager #1: “IS ONE WORD TOO HARD? YES OR NO!”

([Manager #2] finally uttered the word, “No,” on its own, but it looked like she was fighting not to say, “Yeah,” afterwards.)
