A couple initiated a private chat this evening with me and asked for cam to cam. Due to my career I like to double check that anyone I speak to that live close to me aren't going to recognise me. I was polite the whole time asking what their names were and if they would mind telling me what line of work they were in. They got a little shirty and I apologised for asking but explained about my job, next thing I know they are complaining I was too much hassle and left. Am I being over sensitive cause it felt pretty rude to me?
People's views appreciated. |

"Theres no need for anyone to be rude of course, but if someone started asking me about my job I would leave it there as well..."
Thank you for your reply, I shall have to take this as a learning curve and maybe only consider chatting to people who don't live so close. |

I agree, we would leave it there too. You are protective of your privacy why is it rude of them to be protective of theirs? |

I have no qualms regarding them not wanting to divulge their career title,and i apologised as i had meant no disrespect. I have to have photos hidden to friends only due to work policy. I was just trying to work out if asking 2 questions was classed as being hard work. |

it entirely depends on what the two questions are if it started to feel like a job interview I would think of it as hard work yes.
We don't cam but if someone asks us immediately what our names are and what we do we always back off straight away we think its intrusive. |
