Weirdest Complaint Ever

(In this scene you will focus at Toothless and totally blocked out of Hiccup's babble. Hiccup the engineer, ahoy!)

It is said that non-verbal cues hold 60 to 70 percent of communication effectiveness. I guess it is true... or partially true, because things like that keep happening nowadays ._.

me: "May I ask something that completely unrelated?"
friend 1: "Sure, shoot away."
me: "How do you buy those drinks? I know you ask the cashier to get the cups... but, what do you say to the cashier to get the cups?"
friend 1: *pause in the middle of drinking through straw*
friend 2: "Why do you have to do that?!" *pull friend 1's hijab*
me: "Huh?"
friend 2: "You looks so cuuuute" *squeal like a fangirl*
me: *pull attention to friend 1* "So... how do you get it?"
friend 1: "...Can you repeat the question?"
me: "..."

me: "-but unfortunately, I forgot to bring my cellphone today... so in case you need me, I'll be in west campus center, trying to finish the RBL project. Buhbyee~"
*walk away*
*pause*
me: "Do you copy?"
friend 3: "Nope." *pinch my cheek*

friend 4: "Being hostile to each other is definitely counterproductive, right? So I said sorry first, even though I still feel it was not entirely my fault."
"But you know what she said? 'You should think first before comment on something' Can you believe that?"
me: "I've been in similar situation too" *went rambling about the subject with active gestures*
friend 4: *stop scowling and proceed to smile unconsciously*
me: *notice the change of expression*
"...Is there something wrong?"
friend 4: "Nuyu... you looks so cute."
me: "Am I ?" *annoyed glare*
friend 4: "...Sorry. But yeah, I agree with you... that was kind of harsh of her."

(shooting photos for Buku Kenalan in front of class)
me: "Sooo what do I have to do now?"
friend 5: "You strike a pose for each photo... one normal pose, one looks happy, and one for natural look."
me: "Pose a natural look?"
friend 5: "You don't. I will capture that randomly at will.
me: *dramatic gasp*
friend 5: "Okay, we're starting now... 3 2 1"
me: *do a composed pose*
friend 5: "Phase 2..."
me: *put one month worth of happiness in an expression*
*some people go inside the class and then pause when they see me*
me: *nervous* "...Is my face looks weird?"
someone I don't know: *astonished* "You looked cute..."
me: "Thanks?"

And... there's countless case of my friends blanked out when I chat animatedly about whatever. While I am grateful that I was considered aesthetically pleasing (narcissism? Yeah I need it for confidence in public... jk), I feel annoyed when people fail to see the content of what I'm saying or trying to do.
