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."
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 don't even know where to post an intro here! I was on TK/TN/TB since 2003, mostly local boards. I was m_and_m.
"I speak without reservation from what I know and who I am. I do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voice to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance. The worldsong is a colorless dirge without the differences that distinguish us, and it is that difference that should be celebrated not condemned." -Ani Difranco

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?
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.
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.'

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?!
