  • I can understand your discomfort with “do you mind” type requests. It’s fitting that the full answer would have been, “It’s fine with me, but you’re not going to like it!”

    When one is asked “do you mind…?” it’s perfectly correct in both grammar and politeness to avoid a simple yes or no and phrase your answer unambiguously. But sometimes it’s more fun to lean into the ambiguity with a firm “No.”
