I can kind of understand it though. If someone walked up to you in America and started speaking french or german or whatever and expected you to be able to respond you'd find them arrogant. It's only us that expect other cultures to speak english even just by saying "do you speak english?". If you reverse that into another language in your country it would get a really strange response.
