That reminds me of when I worked with a British fellow back in my early twenties. He mentioned that the American phrase he hated hearing was 'I don't care' in response to a question about one's preference.
"Where do you want to eat?"
"I don't care."
He thought it was very rude to express such disinterest in your plans and the people with whom you are spending time. Ever since then I've tried to respond to that sort of question with 'Anywhere is fine with me', 'I don't have a preference', or something similar.
