In the grand scheme of the world's problems, it's a petty annoyance. Still...
...Why do so many people ask, "Do what?" If you didn't hear or understand someone, why would you ask that, when it makes no sense linguistically? Is it that difficult to say, "What was that again?" "Excuse me?" or "I beg your pardon?" are reasonable alternatives, as well. I don't hear people use those alternatives as often as I used to, but they're still logical ways to respond to a statement you didn't understand.
Now, it's time for me to sit in a rocking chair and scowl...
