It's called my pet peeve, sub par communication skills, annoying, etc etc etc...


My daughter does this allll the time, I have to remember she's 10 and not get infuriated with her.


She assumes she knows the answer before I even finish the question, therefore she never or hardly (to be fair) listens to my question as she's formulating her answer...

(On numerous occasions I have actually wondered how she makes it to the top of her class with this "defect")

Idk what its called but I remember learning about it during a communications course sometime ago.


My eldest sister does it too.


When my daughter does it these days, I just stare at her, if she shoots me a quizzical look, I ask her if her reply answered my question at all, whereby she promptly answers me accurately.


I do it to my sister too, maybe I'm a little condescending, but they would both agree that its better than a rage response...
