莫名其妙
Me: Not going out ah?

A: (After 10 seconds, looking at me in a mysterious way) Err... that's a weird question to ask.

Me: Huh... how weird is that?

A: Well... (looking at me in a sarcastic way) you asked why am I not going out. Isn't that weird?

Me: I just asked whether you are going out or not, didn't say why.

A: (That usual look when he becomes suspicious, or has made his own conclusion about something) It's still weird asking people such questions. And for your info, I am going out now.

Question to the floor: Was my question offensive? Someone please enlighten me. Honestly, please.

    I guess it all started with a misunderstanding.

    And when one is persistent on his own opinion so much so that he refuses to accept an alternative perspective, conflicts are destined to arise.

    I take it that the concerned individual was having a bad day. In this way I would feel better.

    Lesson learnt: I will not formulate such words of concern to such individuals anymore.

    HAHA. I get irked sometimes when my dad asks me something like that. But that's cos when I go out, he will nag and say that I'm going out too often and when I'm at home, he'd ask "Not going out ah?" which is damn annoying cos it's like I can't do anything right.
    But in your case, A was just acting weird lah. I don't find that offensive at all. A "I wanna rot at home" answer would have sufficed. =)
