Bite on it

I overheard a conversation in the lift today. It goes like this...

Man: "what are you listening to?"
Woman: "songs lo..."

Any answer lamer than that?!?

conclusion:
1. The woman does not understand what the man is asking. (maybe thats why man and woman are still trying to understand each other! haha. Hmm.. actually not neccessary though, sometimes it happens with man-man, woman-woman. hee)
2. The man is not specific in his asking. So the woman is not wrong with her answer also.
3. But common sense tells us that what the man meant was, "what songs are you listening to?" (if i know that you SAW me listening to a MP3 player, of course i would anticipate that you are actually asking me what songs im listening to! - its like: you see me sitting infront of a big TV watching a programme. "What are you watching?" "TV." ~.~"' hello?? anybody home?? The TV not big enough? duh)
4. Lame question, lame answer. (you get what you give. Give peanuts? you get monkeys!)

ok la, one thing i have learnt is that communication is really a skill. You got to be really specific in order to be understood. In this case, none is at fault. Even if i have to choose one, i would say the man who asked the question is at a much fault than the woman who answered it.

By asking question, you are trying to lead someone to something. Thus, you are a leader. A leader brings someone to the right place, in this case, to give the right answer. Isnt it what it is all about? Leaders inspire people to make the right decisions in their life. Follow the wrong leader, you ended up in the zoo! Well, nothing wrong with the zoo. The question is, 'what kind of zoo'? The Open Safari kind, or the one which keeps animals in captivity?
