Why does the people i know and the people i encounter usually answer different from the questions i've been thrown, just like... Where are you?? Answer: oh i am just near. not saying i am in this location, a few blocks away from you.. blah blah blah.. and another questions What do you wanna eat? Answer: Anything. Is there anything in the menu anyway...oh my oh my... Have you ever been in this kind of situation? how do you feel when the questions you thrown is not answered as what you expect to be answered? me i tried to be cool and raising my eyebrow...

There were two men searching an address but they did not find the proper destination. Then they asked a person who seemed familiar to that area. Then the person told to them "what will you give me for guiding you?". They answered "something". They got the destination and offered some rupees to him. He denied. "why?". They asked. "I need something". "What? what do you really want?" "something". They got puzzled. Then they rushed to the king for having the solution. "hey whats the matter? why you are not taking the money?". King asked to the person after hearing the complete story. Again the person replied " i need something". The king understood that the person was very clever. So he told " okay i will give you something but at first you just drink a cup of milk" "okay" the person replied. When he began to drink he uttered " Your majesty. I cant drink this milk" "why?" King asked. "here is something lying" he replied " okay, keep that something and get lost" Actually, that something was a leg of cockroach. Have a nice time.

it remind me alot of my circle of cousins. everytime we would go out as a group, I would probably the one to ask to each of them "where to?" and they would just reply "anywhere/you decide/I'll go where you will go/If everyone wants to go, I'll come along" and I would reply "Not again". I really hate it when that happens, it's as if they don't know where they want to have some fun. I always smile at them, and then laugh and say "Not again...."

No one wants to decide to go. Someone want only to tag along or having a habit of just go with the flow...next tell to them i wanna go here.. who will come... and everybody might agree or not..

for my family same thing like that usually happens where we're in a mall. BUt the question is usually... 'Okay, where are we gonna eat?' The same question will be passed around and all would answer 'Anywhere' When one said okay let's eat there.. One will say, 'No, I don't wanna eat there!' When he was asked again he would say anywhere will be okay. And the same words will be said for several times.

Know what? I'm also wondering about that...maybe its just typical for us to be that way because I'm like that sometimes. For example if I was invited to go out and eat and ask what I want, sometimes I also say those "safe words" because I'm a little bit shy to say what I really want because I'm really into foods and might pick everything Seriously now, what freaks me out a bit is those obvious questions like for instance when someone broke his leg after falling down the stairs and someone would ask, "oh, are you okey? Actually I had one just this morning: My kids woked up but still in bed playing and laughing when my mother-in-law came. M-I-L: Oh, are you already awake? My daughter: "yes nanay!".... But here's the part that made me laugh inside... My son: "no nanay, we are still sleeping!!! That's my boy!

Sure I have them around too. These kind of people are not making any decisions of themselves and they can't be enthousiastic about things. So every respond is in a certain way to make you decide, to please you. Also there is a part you can't just ask: what do you like to eat? You have to ask; do you like tomato soup for dinner. So be more specific in what you ask.

If dinner would be at house i think i can say specifically what to eat and what to give.. but in some places like in resto maybe a respond is to be very specific. Response to question as you say is a certain way to decide... and the decision is what i am longing to received.

Hi mmg, That usually happens here. Sometimes when people is a bit shy especially when s/he was given a treat by a friend. If s/he was asked what s/he wants, the person will answer with the word 'anything' I have been in that situation many times and I also normally answer with a different one rather than giving a direct answer guilty me If I was given an answer like that, I would keep on asking until I hear what I want to hear I never get angry coz I know that is normal with people.
