There are a great number of people that think you can read their mind, or rather that you were in their head when they were thinking a thought.
Example, a woman came up to me and said “****.” (**** is a word typically used in this office, and is omitted so I don’t lose my job). Since this word is used in about 20 different areas, I replied by pointing to myself and saying “Chris.” She didn’t seem to get it. She wasn’t offended, she just didn’t get it. I got the impression that she didn’t get much in life, so my humor was no exception.
She ellaborated. Not with a full sentence, oh no, that might actually get her point across. She said “Week one.” As there are several things this could mean, I gave the “keep going” motion with my right hand. Then she got the hint, that I wasn’t in her head, and that she might actually have to use full sentences. Whe she used one, I answered her question. The funny thing is that even after she understood, she still looked confused. Maybe it was a permanent part of her face.
