If the terp asks me once or twice, it doesn't bother me at all but when it comes to the point of excessive repeations, I politely make a request to have another terp in exchange for the original terp. That's just how I am. I know some people would approach it differently.

Do you roll your eyes and throw your hands up in the air?

Once in a while I do but most of the time, I just try not to show that I'm annoyed and slow it down a little bit.

I will follow up with your answers at a later time but want to get as many answers from everybody before I do.

In the end I hope this will be educational for all.
Thanks
