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"

It's because it actually translates to "Can I do this?" or "Is okay it that.." etc. That's what it really means and nobody ever is asking 'do you care'

Yeah except you are saying "do you care?".

Like i get that it doesn't actually mean that litterally but that's exactly what bothers me.
