I get unreasonably annoyed at "Well yes and no."

It's never yes and no. Just answer the question.

Not really a phrase, but I also really hate this current trend of ending a sentence in a question mark to try and add that rising inflection that is already obnoxious enough in-person. I just don't like it?

That bittersweet moment when you finally find someone as bothered by question statements as you, but you can tell from their username that they won't be around much longer.
