BOORISHNESS
People can be rude. Intruding in places that neither affect, nor concern them, especially other people's business. In a grocery store check-out line I was once asked by a stranger why I was purchasing certain items in my cart. In a restaurant, I was asked by a presumed friend why I was reading a certain book. Neither of these persons seemed to be satisfied with my explanation. Neither were they cognizant of their own boorishness. Now, when queried similarly, I ignore them, or should they persist, I ask "why?"
