What is it about "NO" that people don't understand?

Question

the "N" or the "O"

LOL...

Answer 1

I think that both the letters together have just been installed in too many humans to be automatically disregarded as an answer...but...iffin I had to pick one, Hmmmm
I would have to go with the 'O'
Like Ohhhhh. People just don't wanna get that part of the word. LOL
Funny question.
~T~

Answer 2

People don't understand what they dont understand. For example if a child asks for a present and you say yes, they understand the word yes and its meaning..they know they are about to receive a gift, but when you say know they go into shock and question your reason of answering no..so, its like selective hearing...you hear and comprehend what you want

Answer 3

It is a conditioned behavior. If people actually meant NO and stuck to it consistently, we wouldn't have a problem. But most people say NO, then for whatever reason give in to a yes.
Therefore No usually means maybe If I whine long enough I can manipulate it into a yes.

Answer 4

People who do not understand "NO" are usually self-centred persons who cannot imagine that anyone can disagree with what they want. They sometimes even pretend to understand then do something that shows they did not get the "NO".

Answer 5

When they don't understand, its usually the "No", both of the letters put together ;-)

Answer 6

lol.

Try giving them a slap next the next time you say it.

They'll learn by association and hopefully it'll never leave them.

Answer 7

It's confusing because it sounds just like 'know'.

Answer 8
