Do I talk in questions?

Post by ghostrunner »

Yes I do.

Does that mean I don't already know the answer? No
Does it mean I want to know the answer? Not necessarily
Do i realize how this gets on your nerves? Perhaps, but let me ask another question...

Is there a point to all this?

I do this sometimes in writing, but thankfully not in real life. I hate myself for it when I do, but it's always too late.

Same goes for putting quotes around words as a some sort of a device. Either to be a smartass, or I don't know why. It always makes me think of smarmy d-bags that use air quotes in real life, and then I get scared.

Yeah, I probably "overdo" quotes and I end too many sentences with multiple periods...

You think you learned it somewhere? Or were you born this way?

Actually, it came from watching this history documentary the other day. Some professor started in with this.

"Does he realize that ....? Yes"
"Does that stop him from...? No."

Then I've seen it on forums and other places. I don't know. There's something very Dwight Schrute about it.

I'm disappointed this wasn't a Scrubs reference.

What if you do this in real life, in an exaggerated fashion, to poke fun at people that do it sincerely?
