This. And I would make a face to indicate that I did not understand what was being asked.

It seems to me to be the equivalent of the player who ignores the 1001 times I announced that a player straddled .... and when the action gets to them asks me "was that a straddle or a raise" in which case I tell them (after letting out a huge sigh).
When they ask me after I've announced it repeatedly, I usually say, "I'm sorry, I should have said something."

I get this a lot. Especially from the Sports Betting forum, back when I used to post there (I worked in the sports books before moving to poker dealer). I actually sat down and tried to crank out a book, and never got past Chapter One, because it was so terrible. I now just tell people to find my "The Well" thread from the 2+2 Sports Betting archives, because it has all the good stories in it.
After much prodding from the 2+2 Health and Fitness forum, I'm going to start work on my first such endeavor this fall. One of the posters there is in the e-book publishing business, or something, and thinks a book about a guy who lost ~200 lbs without surgery or gimmicks could draw an audience. I'm thinking I'll follow the Bill Simmons "Now I Can Die in Peace" model, and just copy/paste/collate my internet postings into a book.

EDIT TO ADD: Besides the hearing woes, I'm also having family issues, and that new gf and I broke up the day before this happened. And there's more on top of that, that I'd rather not get into...So yeah, I was in no mood...
