From the point of view of the student, I also sometimes don’t ask for explanation because once people start they don’t stop. Often if someone keeps on going they’ll make it clear, whereas if you stop to ask they spend 20 minutes explaining it even though you realise what they mean after 2.
Oh man, I hate that. My dad does this all the time—I go far out of my way to ask other people for information because if I let him get started I could be sitting there for an hour and a half, either waiting for him to get to the point by way of going over stuff I already understood, or waiting for him to finish the tangents he goes on after answering the question I asked.
