I get this with people who donât understand âsay it slower and more clearly.â Then they say it with the same volume and still mumble.

Same with Swedish, although depending on the accent, I can hear some clearer that others.

One of my biggest pet peeves that sets me off a little every time is when I saw âwhatâ and they say it again at the same volume and speed.
Then I glare at them for two seconds, and loudly and slowly say âWWWHHHAAAAAATTT?â and they act affronted for having to repeat themselves again.

I raise you same volume and speed but bigger distance (they walked to the fridge or decided to grab something quick)
