Lesson #37: How to Understand Obvious Questions

 📍 Location: Locke House Karaoke Night

🎤 Event: Checking the Locke House YouTube playlist.
⌨️ Action: Typing on the keyboard, focused expression, screen glowing.
🎭 Result: Sudden strict question – "What are you doing?"

Possible Responses:

1️⃣ Logical answer: "Checking the Locke House playlist."
2️⃣ Trying to decipher the subtext: Can’t they see I’m using a computer?
3️⃣ Meta-thinking: Is the question about my actions, or is it a subtle hint that the night is wrapping up?

💬 Reply received: "Work is ending soon, don’t make it more difficult."

Translation:

🔹 You’re not doing anything wrong, but your existence in my space is now unnecessary.
🔹 It would be great if people just understood hints without asking follow-up questions.
🔹 Why is anyone even analyzing this?

Moral of the Story:

🔹 Neurotypical communication is about "air is also an answer" – sometimes a question is just a question.
🔹 When in doubt, the best response is: "Just don’t ask. The less you ask, the less you complicate the end of work."
🔹 Your thinking might be too deep. Solution? Buy a hammer and nail your philosophical questions to the wall.
