Can someone tell me why people get offended when they do not understand you?
A Lithuanian lady got so mad at me today when I was trying to buy a ticket at a side shop. She did not speak English and when I tried to explain in different ways she started to act weird .
I found it so funny because English is not my mother language either. I started to smile and ask for help to another person next to me for translation. I tried to take it easy.
Finally I managed to buy ticket and said thank you to lady in Lithuanian. That was when she was relieved and gave me a better look that felt very close to a smile

I don't think she would be offended, probably just frustrated or confused that she didn't understand you.  People often get angry when they don't understand something.
