*I went to a mobile blood bank to make a donation. It was set up in a parking lot next to retail stores and adjacent to a busy boulevard. The engine of the bloodmobile was running to generate power for all of their equipment and air conditioners. The registration desk was on the sidewalk about ten feet away from the noisy engine, so the only way to be heard was the technician had to shout the screening questions. I thought it was extremely ill-planned.

That’s possible. It’s also possible that the person shouted that word to her. Being a two-part question, a single-word answer only causes confusion.
(Just between the two of us, I think she likes to confuse me, likes to keep me guessing. Shhhh, don’t tell her I said that; it could go kind of badly. Mum’s the word.)

Why did she have to shout; are you ignoring her again?
