You’re probably more likely to notice this in the workplace, and it’s usually during a conversation when you’ve given a reasonable and logical solution to a problem and the she isn’t happy with it (at times the only solution that is possible)

She’ll listen to your logical solution then proceed to say f~~~ all, expecting you to fill the silence spitting and stuttering or changing your answer to cater to her needs (it’s more common on the phone)

I’ve had it many times where I’ve given an answer but the line stays quiet her end. I’ll admit this used to faze me and I’d attempt to fill the dead air with sometimes disastrous consequences. Over time I realized this is nothing more than a s~~~ test and a tool to make you squirm.

These days I reciprocate the dead air with more dead air (after all the ball is now in her Court) and the results have been hilarious at times. These days I start the timer as soon as the silence begins. My record is 1 minute 15 seconds before the t~~~ spoke.

Never fill the silence and reap the benefits. The most common response is she’ll break the silence to accept your answer and the conversation ends shortly after.
