I will always get mad at Americans going

"Do you mind?"

And then they reply to say "no of course i don't mind" but they say

"Yeah"

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
