WCDT Strips 3091 to 3095 (16-20 November 2015)
Neko_Ali:
She still showed up at a near-stranger's work place to ask questions about her past. After they exchanged what, less than six words the night before? If someone I met at a party briefly showed up and wanted to know about my past, especially one that I've been grilled about by strangers on a regular basis I would be less than inclined to be charitable. And less kind in my response than Bubbles, puppy-bot eyes be damned.

I wouldn't consider it rude personally, but maybe I am a bit odd? (:
I would suggest to them that we meet somewhere else for lunch to discuss whatever they wanted to ask about, though.
In Momo's case, it's not like she had the choice of meeting Bubbles anywhere else. Having said that, I agree there's a case that it was impolite to broach the topic at all. Though in Momo's defense, I'm not sure she realises just how sensitive a topic this is for Bubbles.
In any case, I admire Bubbles for her forbearance.
Is it cold in here?:

Thus raising the question of why her social protocol database didn't stop Momo from doing it.
Neko_Ali:
Probably the same reason people ask probing and personal questions to LGBT people. Curiosity overwhelms common sense and decency that tells us 'Hey, maybe I shouldn't ask this near-stranger questions about their private life.'
hedgie:
Good point. AIs are not automata, and may be emotionally be impelled to break their better judgement, whether that be logically thinking of a problem, or performing an SQL query. (edit, removing content for a comic that hasn't gone live yet). I concur with those who know the power of that sad puppy look. Maybe the "more powerful AIs" who have confronted Bubbles in the past did not have the adorable power.
