why do people get offended by questions? a question is not an accusation, unless it is given in a tone but a statement is a accusation a question is just a question why get offended at questions about business policies? seriously. open ended questions and closed questions the first things you learn in law school the difference between a question or a proposal or proposition usually comes with a question mark for answer its not a accusation. like once I asked my mum "have you ever killed someone?" I know my grandfather had to in war but like a question doesn't mean a accusation. its just a question to say yes or no or further information. really! people will ask questions about companies policies if they are purchasing items, it is just a fact that they will its part of the contract in some cases. I don't know what people get offended in business about questions about bloody policies I don't go around asking everyone have they killed but thinking about it. what a way to start a conversation? not much tact, I just said it in tongue and cheek to see her response really. she just looked at me vaguely and I laughed.
