People who report information, missing the concept of follow up question(s):

Sally told me she saw the best movie ever last night.  
Really? What was it?  
I don’t know – I didn’t ask her the title.

John bought a new car for $62,000 last week.  
What kind of car?  
I don’t know – I didn’t ask what kind.

Chuck just won an all-expense paid, 14 day vacation!  
No kidding! Where to?  
I don’t know – I didn’t ask him.
