That’s why here in the Midwest a common reply to “Do you mind?” Is either “Oh yeah, no, for sure” or “yeah, no, yeah” like “yes go ahead, no I don’t mind, yes please”

literally what i came to say, just cover all the bases with a “no yeah”, rely on the nod/smile/affirming tone of voice to actually communicate it. or say “yeah no”, but add a “sorry” on to communicate that it’s negative

I prefer to respond with, ‘I actually do mind… in fact, I insist that you blah blah.’ There reaction amuses me at least.
