My husband answers either/or questions with "yes."

[cville]

DTMFA, correct?

[Deleted]

Yes.

[elleblue]

Mine too. It clues me in that he hasn't heard a word I've said. Definitely dtmfa.

[cville]

It's a shame, because he's a really good cook. But Amy's makes a wide variety of frozen meals. I'll be okay.

Somewhat related, my husband is oddly folksy when a simple "yes" would suffice (and really be preferable).

Example in drive-thru:

"Will that be all?"
"That'll do it."
"What was that?"
"That'll do it."
"I'm sorry, sir. What did you say?"

OMG, JUST SAY, "YES."

[Monica Geller]

I hate it when my husband does this! So to answer your question yes.

YES. This jackwagon is ivy league educated and literally does shit like read Lysistrata just for the hell of it and feels compelled to say "aight" when he wants to give an affirmative response.

He also says "nah" instead of "no, " and I hear "yeah" instead. Then he gets mad when I react accordingly.

IF YOU SAID "NO," I WOULDN'T GET CONFUSED.

Omg. Yes.

I'm convinced its something to do with the Y chromosome, all males seem to answer either/or questions with "Yes". Yes to what mother fucker?

[wowhead]

Mine does this all the damn time. Leg hair pulling is the only answer.

[Deleted]

My husband has no leg hair.

I think this is a super smart upright citizen H thing (like my H lol!). Trying to be political but comes across as a condescending dickwad.

You can make this work in your favor!
"Babe should I buy this dress or that dress?"
"Yes"

.....I believe this is his blessing to buy both!

"Babe should we pay for a housekeeper or a pool boy?"
"Yes"
....means he wants both!

You just have to be deliberate in what you ask. Lol

Their breakfast burritos in the yellow package are so good!

[lilafowler]

Amy's Light Spinach lasagna is sooooo good.

Um yeah! I had some after dinner cordial that had notes of dirt (no shit)-

[m1and1m]

I'm married to that guy, too. And when it IS a yes/no question he can't give a straight answer.

"Yeah, I think so"
"Sure, whatever"
"That could be it"

And when I say later that he didn't confirm something he's all, "Yes I did!"
Ugh.

Mine too. No competition if I were to grow mine out.

My boss does this constantly. It drives me insane.

[lexxasaurus]

Mine does this when I send two messages via text. I'll ask two questions that require different answers and get back a "sure" for one of them. WTF happened to the other answer dude?? Did you forget?

[Deleted]

My husband does this intentionally to be a smartass.

Mine did, too.  Until the time when I asked if he wanted chicken or pork for dinner, he said "yes," and then I didn't make dinner, because, you know, he didn't give me a straight answer.

[looseseal]

We are remodeling, and I sent my H and FIL (FIl is our contractor) links to the appliances I liked. I asked FIL if their dimensions would work for our space, and my H whether he had any objection to them, or wanted to give any input on features/styles, etc.

FIL responded promptly and concisely. When I asked H, his response was 'yeah, I looked at those.'

Well?! What did you think?!

This is H with emails all the time. What H? TLDR? It was two sentences!

I swear he also misses the important part too. I'll send something like "What time did you want to meet there? Should I come home and we'll go in my car?" And all I get back is "yeah"
OMG, was the multiple answer option too much for you to handle?!
