I went for Calvary church easter musical presentation at Bukit Jalil yesterday. Before the musical start I helped out to conduct a simple survey to find out how effective is the publicity work. The survey is to be conducted with the visitors to see how they get to know the event. Therefore when we meet someone, the first question we ask is "are you a Calvarite?"
The survey went well and people are generally friendly. Then there is this group of African I asked the guy "Hi are you a Calvarite?" He said yes then I said thank you. He then came and approach me again and ask me "Is there other event going on here?" I said "Er .. I don't think so" He then said with a very sacarstic look "Then why you ask if I am a Calvarite?????" I feel so funny. I don't know why he is so offended at my question. I exlained to him we are looking for visitors to conduct survey and stuff then he finally "ohhhhhhhh".
Don't jump into conclusion. Understand what people are trying to do first!!!!

perhaps, by telling the visitor that you are trying to do a survey before asking the question will help?
