Women are definitely wired different. When my wife starts a long winded reply to a simple question, I often explain I need an answer, not a story.
Down the hall on the left in reply to do you have a bathroom doesn't bother me at all. Some things are implied and usually obvious.
good to hear it's not just my wife... Many times I'll weigh asking a question on whether or not knowing the answer is worth the explanation that will go with it.
