Is It Just Me?

I have had several experiences lately -- some with same person, some not; some personal and some professional -- where I write an email, and I get a response that is:

a) not a response to anything I've actually written or asked
b) noddingly refers to what I've written or asked but then morphs into A
c) is a question, the answer of which is in the original email
d) takes offense at something I didn't write or ask in the slightest

I am wondering if I just know a lot of people who are not careful readers, are utterly spacy, or who are passive-aggressive. I can tell you it's extraordinarily frustrating.
