I left out a critical word, that word being "NOT" that should have been posted right before the word "COMPELLED"

We're "NOT" compelled to answer a stranger's personal questions in any situation...and not answering isn't being rude, it's being prudent.

When strangers ask odd personal questions, such as, what days are you working, etc., my first response would be to turn the table and ask: Why do you want to know?

This can be accomplished in friendly way.

Then, when they stutter and stumble with a poorly worded response, that's when I just smile and walk away.
