Kugai:
I sense a Flashback coming up
And Momo is kinda hard to resist in 'Puppydog Mode'
Tova:
Is showing up at someone's workplace considered rude in the U.S.? Serious question.
Neko_Ali:
Someone you only just met the night before, and you show up unexpectedly to ask them probing questions about the past you are trying not to think of? Yes, very rude.
Even in general purposes, work is a place of business. Someone bothering you at work for something that's not related to your work is looked down on, yes. And possibly could get you in trouble with your employer.
Tova:
I get your general point, but I think that "probing" is about as inaccurate a description of the way she's asking the questions as you can possibly get.

I'm not from the US, but I would feel it very out of line for somebody that I just met to show up at my place of work just to ask me personal questions. It would be OK if it's something important happened (for example, a mutual friend got hurt and they didn't know how to contact me) but if it's just to ask me a controversial question... My workplace is business, and I keep my personal life out of it as far as possible. It's not only rude to intrude, it's also one of the places where I can't just leave if the person is bothering me and where I look very unprofessional if I chat with non-colleagues.
Would it be not rude where you live?
