When someone asks you a question, you always answer, right?
And needless to say, we always tell the truth - even when a criminal is conducting his interview!
Seems like the conflict management tactic of counter-questioning could come in handy when you A. need more information, or B. suspect that answering correctly can cause you problems.
Counter-answering (funny version):
English speaking person: "How are you doing?"
German speaking person: "How am I doing what?"
Story:
A 19-year-old man have been accused of trying to rob a yogurt store in Fort Wayne in early March.
He had approached the clerk at Yogurt Express and questioned her about the placement of security cameras at the store, as well as the amount of money in the register.
The clerk said there were no cameras, and Gray told her he was robbing the store, according to police.
