Especially in a professional context, when people say 'yeah yeah yeah yeah' at you in quick succession. It's happened to me a couple of times with different people when I'm saying something to them, and it makes me feel like what I'm saying is annoying/boring/stupid or something.. anyone else?

I think its very rude

Baobuns · 11/12/2022 16:35

It's just a bit dismissive or a bit 'yeah I know, shut up' in some contexts

It's incredibly rude. It's as though they're just saying, "Yeah now shut up because I want to speak."

It’s rude but plenty of people takes ages to say something that could be said in three words so they might have been rude but reasonable lol

I've even had it in interviews from the interviewer which is odd

Its just a habit some people have possiblly..My doctor does it. Constantly says..yeah,yeah yeah when you tell her anything.

Someone I work with says "alright, ok' several times , in any conversation. Just a habit with them, cant speak for anyone else.

Or, want to tell you something you already know (I read the email and was at the meeting too), talk when you’re obviously busy with something, and proceed to drone on and on about it.

I get what you're saying but sometimes I say it when I'm being mansplained to or someone is telling me something I already know and it feels like they are assuming I don't.
