[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a hospital, and today I was headed to get some soup in the cafetria, and I noticed a woman had dripped the soup all over the styrofoam container. I do it all the time, the stupid ladles they have are terrible for pouring into the container. Anyways, she was busy trying to clean it up and I essentially said, "Ugh, that happens to me all the time, I know it's so frustrating." I was really just trying to make her feel better, because I always feel mildly stupid when that happens.

She turned around, kept saying "What?" louder and louder, and I thought maybe she was hard of hearing, and I said, "I'm just sorry that happened."  She looked at me and said "This is none of your business. What happened here is none of your business."

I apologized (although I'm not sure why), and immediately wrote her off as a being a bit mentally off....

But... I got to thinking. Did I do something wrong? She's right, it's not any of my business, is it not normal to say things like this? I guess I personally kind of like it when someone tries to strike up a conversation like that, but perhaps others don't? Is it wrong that I think she may be mentally off? Perhaps her response was normal? Perhaps she's having a bad day in other regards (after all, she is in a hospital).

I guess I'm struggling with something socially (in terms of colleague relationships) and feeling left out, so I'm second guessing some of my normal social responses.

Perhaps I should just keep my mouth shut in the future if I don't know them.[/quote]

Unless she was intellectually disabled or an alien this is made up and I'm not sure why.[/quote]

OP here. Certainly not made up! Annoying troll patrol.

PP who mentioned the tremor, you may be  onto something. [/quote]
