It was written on a T-shirt: "Do not disturb. Just don't."
What does "just" mean here? Does it mean that all I want is that you don't disturb?

There is a difference of opinion between the respondents. What is the opinion of someone whose mother tongue is English?

Best Answer

I think the word "just" here means something like "simply".

The shirt is saying something like, "This is a simple situation and you must follow this simple instruction: do not disturb me. There are no exceptions to this rule. Don't ask me why. Simply do not disturb me."
