There is a question that I often hear answered backwards

 

It’s any question that starts with “Do you mind…”

 

On television, a man asks “Do you mind if I come in?”  “Yes” the woman answers, come right in.

 

What just happened?  The person answering the question said yes, I mind, then contradicted herself and said come right in.  The answer should be “No.  I don’t mind.  Come right in.”

 

If you haven’t noticed this, listen for it.  It’s out there.  But it’s wrong.  Why do people do this?  Do they only do it while I’m watching?  Maybe it’s a conspiracy to make some of us think we’re crazy………..
