[quote=Anonymous]I do this when I don’t want to answer the question and refusing would be rude or cause conflict. It defuses the situation. It basically a way to deflect answering a question. For example, if my kids ask me - are we rich? I’ll say “why do you ask?” Or if my mom says - do you want to go on a cruise vacation (she knows I don’t want to go) I’ll say “why do you ask?” Not sure I have ever asked a stranger this, but it’s possible. It’s easier to ignore a stranger or say, “sorry, I’m in a hurry” and rush by. [/quote]
