Lol, totally agree. I always tell my "skeptic" friends that skepticism is a tool for rational inquiry. I hate it when people say, "I'm a skeptic," because what that usually means is "I'm intellectually lazy and I want you to prove to me, 100% that [x] exists / occurs so I don't have to do any brain work myself."
