What makes us tick?
What sets us off?
Timing, events, perhaps following a misinterpretation.
I was interviewed as a 'candidate for ministry' for part of the qualification process to be a pastor. RME. They were thorough -s-.
Asked about my work, I told this gang of inquisitors I had my own business. Now, mind you, I was respectful and supplied info as asked. The above comment is a current evaluation of their antics.
I also said I could dress as I pleased. My Dad had done so as well after years as a salesman, well dressed I might add -s-, usually in a golf shirt and slacks. I dressed likewise.
I made the offhand comment that I was glad I didn't have to wear a tie anymore.
One of the committee exploded, ranting how HE wore a tie every day. This tirade was complete with spittle. Curious pick to determine pastoral suitability.
I deferred with choice.
Some people cling to their peccadillos. Some just refuse to understand why others aren't like them.
Take your pick. Enjoy differences. To each is own.

Maybe he was testing you.
If so, he failed.
