  1. Bychkova Kate. People can say this if they want to interrupt somebody and show that they are not interested in the topic of the conversation. If they want to ignore the information someone is going to give. Maybe, when people don't know the answer on the question and they try to show that they don't like it, but not their ignorance.

  2. Ilina Tatiana.I agree with Kate.But also I suppose that people say this phrase when they don't want to give themselves away, to expose their real thoughts, opinions and fears about some topic. In this way they stop the discussion of thic theme.

  3. Shilina Taisiya. I agree with girls. But sometimes people can say this when they live in their own world. For example, when one person offers another person to learn something new, or ask about something new, and the other person responds:"I do not know, nor do I care".

  4. What a cool picture is! Of course I support the views of previous speakers. In my opinion, people can tell that when he doesn’t care about the topic of conversation or he is absolutely indifferent man. For example, when a person is very tired and wants to sleep, but someone asks him questions, that person will not be interested in the detailed answers to them. And he will answer by using this phrase.

  5. Saakyan Ann.I think that people say this when they want others to leave them alone. When the question has nothing to do with a person he says it in order to get rid of his companion. Especially when they have no mood to talk.

  6. In my opinion, this statement can be used in case, when person doesn`t want to answer the question, or doesn`t have time to do it. What about ignorance? No, I don`t think it is ignorance

  7. In my opinion, people say this phrase when they don`t want to listen to smb any more. I have an association with a mother scolds her child and when they say smth for excuse (I mean they try to explain the situation), the mother interrupts them and say "I do not know, nor do I care ". She doesn`t want to listen to explanations and she doesn`t know them either.

  8. I think that people say this when they have no mood or they are annoyed. It means that a person doesn’t want to keep up the conversation and this phrase alludes to the interlocutor to let well alone.

  9. I absolutely agree with all opinions. All that I can add is that people can also use this phrase, in order to show that they don't like the interlocutor.
