If you say yes, it can be interpreted as “yes I mind” or “yes, I give you permission”, if you say no, it can be interpreted as “no, I don’t give you permission” or “no, I dont mind”. You always end up having to clarify.

    “Yes, I do mind! Drop the fucking mouse, I said we’re listening to Melodic Noise!” There, should cover all the bases!

    Edit: shitty idea no. 2 would be to go the passive-aggressive pedantic asshole route, where you just say “sure” then throw a fit when they go ahead and do that, and start spewing semantics at them.
