I have discovered a new human sub-species...

[edible_hat]

I call it Homo mublus. It communicates like this:

HM: (incoherent mumble)
Me: "Sorry?" (or "What?" or some other indication that I didn't understand what they said)
HM: "Never mind" (wanders off)


I had 3 of them tonight, one of which said "You don't care then" instead of "never mind". Had he been understandable I might have cared about whatever it was he was attempting to communicate.


ETA: also, somebody needs to tell all those <i>Homo silencia</i> that they are allowed to speak instead of just walking in and throwing money at me.

Its like I tell my kids. "Come on-use your words!"

My line for the mumblers is: "Use your hands Koko!"

Oh dear god I had one the week before I was laid off.

Couldn't understand f***-all. And every time I told him I couldn't understand him, he repeated the exact same thing, not louder, not clearer, but the exact same munumnumnumnum.

Dude, swallow that hot potato THEN talk.
