Yes Yes I Hear You, Unfortunately

What it does

Criticism received at close range and acknowledged without any suggestion that the experience is welcome.

Use it when

  • A scolding has become intense.
  • You understand the correction but dislike the delivery.
  • The speaker needs confirmation before stopping.

For example

  1. Your driving instructor repeats the mirror rule beside your ear.
  2. A manager explains the typo for the fourth time.
  3. Your aunt narrates every failure of your packing system.
