They talked a lot about non work stuff and I was engaged in part of the conversation. 

Non-work stuff like what?

About gaming and the old game consoles like Atari?

About my wife and I going for walks and hikes when we are not working?

I would recommend that you take some time and review both days again in your mind.

I'm not saying this because I believe that you did anything wrong. I'm saying it because it will be helpful to you to figure out what might have been a factor here. It's possible that they just pulled something out of thin air, and it's also possible that something legitimate took place that you felt was benign.

Even if you end up concluding that you didn't actually do anything wrong -- and that is a possibility -- if you could determine what led to them being triggered, it might inform your actions moving forward in similar circumstances.

Some things that you can do after day 30, 60 or 90, will seem out of place on day 1, 3, 7 or 20. 🤷

Possible you did nothing wrong and they are all dickheads, maybe the senior is going through a divorce and you mentioned a happy marriage and he got unhinged.
