Depends on the situation. I did that while checking in at the airport once, after saying "What" about six times. The lady at the counter started to freak out after I did the smile and nod, because she had been asking me if anybody else had handled my luggage prior to arriving at the counter. That, obviously, would have been a time where I should have kept saying "What."
