At a radio station where I worked, a person formerly connected with the station entered the studio and asked if the DJ on the air after me would run one of his commercials.
The DJ replied, "OK."
The visitor said dejectedly, "Well, if you don't want to run it, then...," and left the studio.
The DJ and I looked at each other, perplexed.
The DJ asked me, "Did I say I didn't want to run the commercial?"
I replied, "I'm not sure why (the visitor) reacted that way, either. Maybe he expected you to do cartwheels or backflips."
You'd think saying, "OK," would be an affirmative way of agreeing to run a commercial.
