Normally I don't mention peeve, but.....my husband has the habit of responding ...."what do you mean _________." Example. When I was sitting up at 4:30 in the morning reading a book I answered his question as to why. He responded..."what do you mean you can't sleep?"

How do I answer that??????? How many different things can "not sleep" mean????
I'm sorry, I had to laugh. But trust me, it was a laugh of experienced understanding!

Exactly! That's all you can say. And then, you fumble around and in your head you're thinking "What the crap? How am I supposed to further explain, or define, my lack of sleep? This is not making any sense." (That's what goes through my head.) Also, it irritates me when I say something and people repeat what I just said. Like, if I said I can't sleep and my husband says, "You can't sleep?" as if he has to double check. Um, yeah. That's what I just said.
