Why do people get weirded out when they ask me a question regarding time and I give an exact answer?

Asked by Ansible1 (4841points) August 23rd, 2009

Like if someone asks me what time it is, and I had just checked the time so I know it’s 9:37 and they look at me funny…or if they ask “what time did you talk to Bob?” and I know it was exactly 1:08 b/c the record of it is in my phone. It’s like they get thrown off it’s my answer isn’t “about 9:30” or “a little after one”. Not everyone reacts like this but when some people do it makes me wonder what’s wrong with giving an exact answer? I’m guessing maybe it’s because people can relate better to time if it’s in general? I don’t know…anyone else experience this?
