Apparently asking how things are going is offensive now?

Today I called a dude I had met at a STAR Test for the first time a few weeks ago. Shit was mad wack, here's why.
 
So my mom found his number (the guy's name is Mark, I really think it would be funny to give out his number here for the lulz, but I won't) in the dirty clothes (probably in a pants pocket) and I was excited, I was like "Hey I was thinking about calling Mark, I wonder how life's going for him?" So I called him a bit eariler today (5 or 6 PM if I recall properly) and this is what follows:
 
Me: "Hey is this Mark?"
Mark: "Huh?"
Me: "Is this Mark? This is Elias from testing, I wanted to call to see what's been going on."
Mark: "Hey are you that guy from Vegas? Did you get my text message?" (wtf)
Me: "Huh? No this is Elias."
Mark: "Aaron?"
Me: "No, Elias, E.L.I.A.S., from the STAR test earlier this month. I just wanted to see how things were going."
Mark: "OH. That guy!
They're going okay, I'm just chillin out."
Me: "That's cool, hey what are you going to do this summer? I'm so pysched! I'm going to be gaming a lot, I don't get to play too much video games because I'm pretty busy often doing my homeschool work and excersizing, etc., so I'm going to be able to do a lot of that. What are you going to do this summer man?"
Mark: "I got nothing planned, I think I'll just be relaxing."
Me: "Are you going to be seeing any movies this summer? Any movies you're excited about? Summer is the season for movies after all."
Mark: "I dunno I haven't seen to many I'm interested in yet"
Me: "So how's school been going? You told me you've been getting D's and F's, have things been getting better? Is everything looking up-
Mark: "Huh?"
Me: "Is school going well for you lately?"
Mark: " SOMEONESCALLINMEONTHEPHONE"
The fucker hung up.
 
I called him back and asked him if he had dropped the phone or something, he said "No I hung up" and hung up AGAIN.
 
Since when does somebody feel it's okay to hang up on someone mid conversation for no reason when someone is being really polite to them?

" I didn't understand that conversation "

I guess you reminded them of how terrible their summer was going. :P

haha so he picked up and said "i hung up" then hung up? that's pretty funny.  
  
though i'm sure the dude just didn't want to talk. maybe he didn't care about what you were doing or who you were.

" I guess you reminded them of how terrible their summer was going. :P "

He was obviously not very interested in talking to you. Something tells me you don't have many friends..

" haha so he picked up and said "i hung up" then hung up? that's pretty funny.    though i'm sure the dude just didn't want to talk. maybe he didn't care about what you were doing or who you were. "

Dude, he met you at a random test, you never spoke to him for weeks and you decide to ring him and expect him to be best buddies?

" He was obviously not very interested in talking to you. Something tells me you don't have many friends.. "

Yeah I don't think he wanted to talk. He might be someone like me, unless you're a close friend, don't bother trying to start a conversation with me after a long time of nothing.  
 
You calling him out of the blue like that was a tad inappropriate. You're a guy he met once for a very brief time, asking him what all his personal plans are for the summer. Kinda creepy.

" Dude, he met you at a random test, you never spoke to him for weeks and you decide to ring him and expect him to be best buddies? "

" He does not like you. "

do dudes usually call each other and just chat them up? all my phone convos with other dudes are pretty much one asking the other if they were up to something and wana hang out or if some1 got a question that needs to be answered.

" He does not like you. "

No shit, again, he could have just said something like that instead of being a cowardly asshole. "

" How does online school work? "

You didn't know him well enough (and he didn't know you well enough) for this phone call to work/make any sense. 
 
And what the hell is a STAR test?

" You didn't know him well enough (and he didn't know you well enough) for this phone call to work/make any sense.   And what the hell is a STAR test? "

" Holy shit, you're dumb as hell. Are you autistic or something? Dude was being polite and clearly hinting that he didn't want to talk to you, you kept on blathering on about shit neither he nor anyone else gives a damn about, and then after he dropped the least subtle hint in the history of language, you called him back? "

"   Oh, you're homeschooled. Now everything makes sense.    Carry on. "

So you tried to pick up a guy you met and he didn't go for it? I'm confused. 

Hey I was homeschooled tooo
 
*phone rings* huh

I'd be your friend, Elias!
 
:D

" He was obviously not very interested in talking to you. Something tells me you don't have many friends.. "

Well, he sounds like a douche, and you sound a little awkward.  I would have been more lenient had you called me (don't though)

" I'd be your friend, Elias!  :D "

" Hey I was homeschooled tooo  *phone rings* huh "

i would of hung up on you too. do you really talk like that? i mean do use really use that grammar and those words in your everyday life? and do you really ask those kind of questions like that to dudes? thats kind of a girl thing to do.

If you actually had basic reading skills, you would realize that MARK said "huh?" as the first thing he said, NOT ME. "

" @EliasT:  Nopenope, still on the line! How's the homeschooling going? Do you have to learn crazy stuff like Esperanto? I dated a homeschooled guy a year ago or so, and he was also lacking in some social skills type areas. He was also a really kinky guy, but I'm not sure if that's an environmental thing. Anyway, his parents made him learn Latin and Esperanto and stuff, on top of his normal studies, but the guy had no idea what the Revolutionary War was! It was nuts. "

" Yall are mean to the guy. "

Since when do people use phones to call people?

   Just move on. If this dude doesn't want to be your friend, so be it.  "

This is a rousing endorsement for homeschooling

Well yeah, I kind of figured that when I ended the first call.  I called again for re-assurance, and I was assured that he actually didn't like me, which is always funny to me, I always try to be nice to people and I get kicked in the beanbags OVER and OVER and OVER again, in some ways I'm glad I'm homeschooled.  That doesn't mean I think that all people suck, no no, I'm not a cynic.
