I’ve just realised that i’ve got the most annoying habit of saying words twice. It started off a while ago with just ‘good good’ but lately i’ve been expanding on it, particularly at work…
eg “would you put that orange juice in the fridge please?”
me: “yep yep”

and in response to someone talking really fast/me not listening/me not understanding some weird jargon, just yesterday i used the phrase [several times]

“a what what?”

what can i do? i’m afraid it’s starting to spiral out of control. Does anyone else do anything as stupid as this, or am i the only foolish freak out there??? WTF has all this come from…?

  1. stop stop?
  2. yep yep
  3. maybe maybe
  4. dunno dunno

:smiley:

How could anyone resist that kind of setup?

Seriously though, Its probably not not all that unusual. I use the examples you provided as well. You’ll likely eventually grow out of the habit. Or you could take a vow of silence and join a monastary. Whichever works for you you.

Mention it to people around you and ask them to point out when you’re doing it doing it. That’ll stop you double-quick.
