I value succinct, written and spoken. I value clarity just as much. Many people do not know how to ask questions nor answer them.
How is "Down the hall, to your left" the correct answer to "Do you have a bathroom?"
Guilty here. But I"m so used to answering a question and the next one is generally, WHY?
I've gotten to the point I explain my answer in my answer. Most folks appreciate it.
But then I tend to hate it when mom delves off into the story of how milk comes about, rather than just ask me to pick up a gallon and drop it off on the way home if I could... And I really tend to not care for chit chat.... I don't care for you calling, asking how I am, hows the weather, your wife, did you get a deer etc... WTF do you want.
Maybe I am both the problem both ways. A blossoming curmudgeon....
