Ever had a coworker who feels the need to repeat everything you just said?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41422367For example:
Them: Where did you have lunch today? Me: I went to that noodle place downstairs. Them: So, you went to that noodle place downstairs, right?
Them: What’s causing this bug? Me: The AWS data center's network is down. I’ve already submitted a ticket. Them: The AWS data center's network is down, and you’ve submitted a ticket, right?
Them: How was your weekend? Me: I spent the whole day gaming at home. Them: So, you spent the whole day gaming at home, right?
… Basically, no matter what I say, they feel the need to repeat it back to me, with a “right?” tacked on. It’s like they can’t process my answer without echoing it back as a question.
