This has happened many times. I am quite close to my friends. I once asked for making a wood baked Pizza at one of my friends’ houses. Unfortunately. He didn’t have the setup. I was feeling bad as well. However, to add to my relief, he didn’t say he will not make. He also didn’t say he didn’t have the oven. And those double negatives made me happy as I didn’t wanted my friend to take this pain as he had to give an exam after 2 days. However, he even didn’t said he will not order for it. And that double negative confirmed for us a pack of two wood baked pizzas with fountain Pepsi, an hour later. And I was very happy as my friend was able to fulfill the promise.
On TV as well, I have heard a lot of double negatives during NBA matches, and especially on the radio. However, I must say double negatives sometimes happen as certain people are very sensitive, they do not ever want to say no.
