What Just Happened?

This is an idea I just came up with for people who have what just happened moments. For example I am sitting at the library and notice some girl sitting next to me is staring at me she looks kind of angry , then she got up slowly, and walked away. In my head right now I am screaming WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Did I do something wrong, or did she want to talk to me?
 
That happened to me at a shopping center. I felt tired so I sat on a bench outside a store and rested. I noticed a girl behind the counter in the store who kept turning her head sharply. Then she made an ugly face at me and stalked off. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Is the idea to:
A. Present instances of behavior that leave you wondering "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" or
B. Present instances of behavior that you don't understand and want to discuss with other people with the hope that by analyzing the experience you can get it figured out?
 
I like this thread because it is validating when others are puzzled by behavior as I am! It helps me feel that I am not alone in it.

OK. There were 2 people involved. You, person A; and a girl, person B.

A and B were sitting near (how near?) each other in a library.
B looked in the direction of A.
A interpreted an expression on the face of A.
B got up slowly (how slowly?).
B walked away.

A questioned self regarding the behavior of A and regarding the behavior of B.
1. Did I do something wrong? A/B
2. Did she want to talk to me? B/A

Those are the known elements.

Unknown = whether A's facial expression was anger, and if it was anger, was it directed toward B
Unknown = whether B wanted to talk to A.

This is not 'an answer.'
This is a break down of/list of the transaction.
A place to start/a way to begin to approach the situation...

How accurate does this outline seem to you?
