"I don't know"
this only pertains to people who want to make plans with me. I ask "what time?" or "when?" and they say that. It's your idea to hang out yet you don't know when you want to hang out? My ex was the worst about it.

Not really specifics, but I hate 1 word answers (with the exception of "Yes" or "No").
Me: [states fact] One of my friends: "True." . . . . .
THAT'S IT?! Freakin' clarify your answer!

I don''t know why but this reminded me of Adam Carolla saying you can win any argument with the phrase "Yeah, but still." Then he and Dr. Drew did this.... DD: Smoking causes cancer AC: No it doesn't. DD: It's been well documnted for years. AC: Yeah but stull DD: There are cases every year of it. Thousands of them. AC: Yeah but still DD: You know people who have cancer from smoking AC: Yeah but stull DD: I'm done AC: Exactly Adam then goes on to say that you may not proove your point but the other person gives up and that's a win.

I miss Loveline. I loved exchanges like that, with Adam and Drew complimenting one another very nicely in their styles.

I loved it too. I would stay up and listen to it on the radio even though I had school the next morning.

That, and I was listening the night a guy called in with a human skull in his fish tank that he had stolen from a mausoleum, while Adam and Dr. Drew were unsure if he had actually committed a crime, and more concerned with his mental health. Granted, I am going by memory, so I might have that story completely wrong. "Dropping trou" is a phrase I hate, which Adam used well in his "morning zoo" mockeries of awful talk radio.

I think you're right about that story. I remember hearing it after you mentioned it. Adam was always funny when he mocjed people. Drew got me really interested in psychology and when I went to rehab I brought up some of the addiction stuff that he had talked about. I guess he is actually really respected in his field which is awesome.
