Best Answer

A yes response would not be relevant when asked a question that is not a yes or no. Doing this is either passive aggressive, or is meant as humor --but it is very lame humor. It is inappropriate and childish.

Example 1: Which side won the US Civil War?

Inappropriate Response: Yes.


Example 2: What areas of the world did James Cook explore?

Inappropriate Response: Yes.



About the only place this "humor" would be semi-acceptable--though nonetheless annoying--would be in a close relationship.

Wife to husband: Do you want to eat at home or go out to dinner?

Husband's Response: Yes. (Which would aggravate his wife!)

I'd imagine it would be undesired. The questioner would probably - or at least should - develop the answer if it is yes or no.
