simple answers

sitting on a fence is good at times. having a fair distribution of for and against arguments when debating a controversial of subjective topic is good. nonetheless certain questions and topics require just simple answers.. simple answers of either “yes” or “no”. situations that require either of those answers should not be answered with a shrug or saying “anything”.

“do you mind eating here?” and the common answer might be “anything”.  well, no. you either don’t mind or mind eating at the chosen place. there isn’t in between.

“want to hang out tomorrow?” and the common answer might be “see how”. well, hell no. you either say you want or not.. don’t leave the person who prompted the question hanging. this will make him/her difficult to decide if he/she should wait for your answer or what not.

“want try this?” and the common response might be a shrug. well, no. again, you either want or don’t want. no shrugs. no sitting on the fence.

so people, there are situations and questions where they are just that simple. you are just expected to answer “yes/no” of “want/do not want” or “mind/ don’t mind”. let’s make everyone’s lives easier. don’t give vague unconfirmed answers. of course, don’t go further and no give an answer at all.. that might just be being an asshole.
