What do you do when you don't understand?

That depends on the people surround me. If it actually something that I have to know clearly, I'd definitely ask, again and again. If its something that's not very important... I will just laugh away.

i will always ask if it's with close friends...so that i can learn something new. but if it's with clients and business associates, i have to admit that i tend to pretend to laugh along with them.

If I don't understand I say so - I'm naturally blonde even if I do dye my hair red lately so no-one expects too much. It's when I know stuff people who don't know me very well get confused. I would never laugh at a joke I don't understand because I'm not clever enough. You know the saying, he who laughs last didn't get the joke.

nawww.. if i dont get it..i make look puzzled and ask ..umm i dont get it?? and they may laugh but its ok..my friends love me lol..but if a dont understand soemthing say from a doctor or anyone else i dont know..I will say.."ummm..can you explain that again in April terms?" instead of layman terms lol./ so i may look confused or stupid in a cute way lol..

well, i am blonde, so if i don't get a joke i will actually admit it, and then everyone gets a laugh because they say it's because i am blonde.

I will usually say I don't understand. Where I run into trouble is if I'm talking to someone with a strong accent and I can't understand what they're saying. I have a harder time asking them to repeat themselves, especially more than once.

I ask questions until I understand it.

i don`t undif i don`t understanderstand a lot of things and no i am to shy to ask

Nope I will ask and risk being told Blondie think about it, and normally after a while it does actually sink in lol. If I do not understand something I will ask so that I know what it is all about and not do the wrong thing.

well it totally depends on the situation in which we need to understand and respond to something. If a well know person has put forward something in front of a crowd which was not clearly understood then there are much possibilites that many of them will fake a laugh else if it is a person who you know well or even remotely and he has put forward his point in front of people who you know abd which is not clear then you will definitey ask questions to understand his point in a much better way....

It's all right to ask a question if you don't understand something. But sometimes I don't understand a joke and I really don't know what to do. I just smile most of the time, I don't really know what reaction I should do.

No, I don't fake a laugh I just stare at them and it seems that they figure out that I don't understand and usually they will then explain it to me. I figure that I will never learn anything if I let them think that I understand them.
