Which reminds me of negatively asked questions. For example:

"Do you not want to go for dinner?"

I stand there for a second and reply:

"If I say 'yes', does that mean that yes, I do not want to go to dinner... or if I say 'no', does that mean that no, I do not wan to go for dinner?"

They usually hate me at that point but seriously, a negatively asked question results in yes being no and no being no.
