Does That Make Sense?
SUBMITTED BY:
Anonymous

I work with someone who always ends explanations with “does that make sense?” and I’ve realized it’s not actually a question. It feels more like a checkpoint you’re expected to pass.

They’ll explain something in a way that almost makes sense, but not quite, and then immediately ask it before I’ve had time to process anything. There’s always a very small window where I could say no, but it feels like a trap. If I say no, I have to explain what part didn’t make sense, and I don’t even fully understand it yet.

So I just say yes. Everyone says yes. Sometimes someone hesitates for a second like they’re thinking about being honest, but then they also say yes.

And then we move on.

The problem is that whatever they explained continues to not make sense later, but now it’s too far removed to bring it back up. So it just becomes one of those things everyone is quietly working around.

Every once in a while, someone will reference it again, and you can tell nobody really understands it, but everyone still acts like they do.

At this point, “does that make sense?” doesn’t feel like a question anymore. It feels like a moment where we all agree to pretend.

⚠ SYSTEM DISCLAIMER: READ OR DON’T (WE LOGGED IT EITHER WAY)

Blabbermouth is a satirical, user-driven reporting system designed for entertainment, absurdity, and mild existential discomfort. Submissions may include fictionalized, exaggerated, or questionably accurate accounts of workplace behavior, interpersonal chaos, and deeply human nonsense.

Submissions are reviewed for basic survivability only. Accuracy, emotional fallout, and legal coherence are considered optional features. Details may be altered, memories may be weaponized, and we reserve the right to redact names or companies, and anything else we feel like in the interest of plausible deniability or general amusement. Accountability has been carefully removed, misplaced, or reassigned to an intern for your protection and ours. By continuing, you acknowledge that everything you read is allegedly true, potentially fabricated, legally questionable, spiritually binding, and definitively not our problem—and should remain undocumented everywhere else.

By using this system, you acknowledge the following:

  • Nothing here should be considered factual, verified, or responsible.
    This is not journalism. This is barely communication.
  • Do not submit real personal, confidential, or legally sensitive information.
    Seriously. Don’t. That includes full names, private details, trade secrets, or anything your HR department would print and laminate.
  • You are solely responsible for what you submit.
    If you type it, you own it. We didn’t make you do that. (We may judge you quietly.)
  • All content is subject to moderation, removal, reinterpretation, or dramatic reframing.
    The system reserves the right to flag, alter, or archive submissions under categories such as “Suspiciously Specific” or “Emotionally Charged but Legally Concerning.”
  • This platform does not endorse harassment, defamation, or targeted attacks.
    If you try that, your submission may be removed, mocked, or silently fed into the void.
  • Any resemblance to real persons, companies, or situations is either coincidental or a sign you should reflect privately.
  • No guarantees are made regarding accuracy, outcomes, emotional closure, or karmic justice.
  • By continuing, you consent to your submission being displayed, archived, or used as evidence in the court of public absurdity.

Proceed at your own risk. The system is watching, but not helping.

If you are seeking real resolution, professional advice, or adult supervision, this is not the system for you.
