Questionable Behavior

I hate people who avoid or don't answer questions asked them. If you don't want to answer a question then say, "I don't want to answer that question" do not answer the question with a long winding story that does not in fact actually address the answer to the question whatsoever. If someone asks you if you're the guy who left the lights on in the shop all night don't answer with a story about the dog you had when you were a kid, just answer the damned question or don't, but say, "I don't want to answer that question". This is most evident when watching politicians, they will be asked very direct questions, often on the Sunday political news shows and will seldom if ever actually respond with a "yes" or a "no", most often they'll answer with a story that best describes their party's viewpoint rather than an actual response to the question asked. It's infuriating. If I was the interviewer I'd keep on asking and asking an asking the exact same question over and over and over until the politician answered or walked off the set, I'm guessing they'd rather walk off the set in mots instances. When I talk to my wife and I ask her a question that I think is a yes or no type question, often she gives me a very non-committal story explaining the complexity of the answer, which in itself is frustrating as hell. To me the worst and most frustrating type of non-answer is the blatant no response. If I ask you a question and you simply do not respond at all, pause and then start talking about something else, then I should be allowed to shoot you in face.
