If their head was a plane would this be yaw, or roll?

I've always wondered why all of our developers do this shit. Drives me nuts - I feel like I'm talking to a bobble head and not a person.

Seems to be the gesticulated equivalent of the Japanese "hai" that they say all the time...it looks like "yes" but it just means "uh-huh, I'm getting all this".

My personal experience with this indicates that they really don't get it, they just bobble their head and then fuck things up and come back and ask a million questions at a later date, usually just days away from target completion. *sigh*

There's a Chinese guy on our shift. When I hear him on the phone (which is so easy to do cause he's SOOOOOO loud) he just LOVES saying "ok" like 20 times, really fast. "ok, ok ok ok ok okokkokookokokkokokokokok...ok" Beyond annoying.

I despise conference calls nowadays.

Can only say "can you repeat that?" so many time before it gets awkward.

Thank god for im at work.
