Annoying answers
 
I detest people who answer a question with a question or even simpler
"Whatever" or the other one that I can't stand is "Could do"
i.e. Q-Would you like a cup of coffee?
A-Whatever
What does that mean? when a simple "Yes please" or " No thank you" would suffice
Whatever= Whatever you think,meaning I am none the wiser as to whether you want one or not
Could do= I could want a cup of coffee,meaning I don't know if I want one or not
Do you have any similar pet hates or is there something I am missing in peoples answers because both these answers translate into "I don't know"
in my book
By the way it seems when you ignore the reply you are in the wrong for not being a mind reader.

Don't think that comes under a pet hate - just sounds rude!

Most people who do that are ignorant and rude. The "whatever" is when a person cannot get their brain into gear to actually give a proper answer, and is usually used by low intelligent people.
Thank god i'm not the only one that hates it when people cannot give me a straight yes or no answer.
'sigh' whatever. ;-)

I hate it when you ask someone if they want a cup of tea and they reply 'if youre making one' or 'if youre having one'. Its irrelevant whether im having one or not cos im quite willing to make them one regardless, i just want to know if they want one or not!!! ooh that gets on my nerves :-)

See I do that but it's just because I don't like people to go out of their way for me. If you are making one for yourself anyway it's not too much additional effort.

"Whatever" delivered in an insolent manner as a kind of grudging acquiescence,is probably _the_ most annoying response to an instruction. Guaranteed to get a spot on my s**t list.

Wouldn't do for you to live in my house then, i often say that to my other half but it's only because i don't want her to go to the trouble of only making me one, it makes me feel uncomfortable & that she is waiting on me & i don't like being waited on but i would do anything & everything for her, i'm weird like that, we are currently having a discussion about the housework because she says i don't let her do enough of it & i find this difficult to understand.

One answer i don't like though is "if you like"

cant belive it took until post 9 for someone to say that!

only thing along these lines which winds me up is when the conversation goes along the lines of:
misses "lets go do something tonight".
Me "What do you have in mind?",
Misses "Anything, not too fussed"
Me "Movie?"
Misses "No we can do that at home"
Me "Eat out?"
Misses "Waste of money we've got food in"
Me "Well what then, Im out of ideas?"
Misses "Dunno, but lets go do something".
ME: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:smt013
