strange things happening to maya...

Hi, something wierd is happening to maya.. im not very good at explaining things but here we go. Imagine two squares stretched (two rectangles) user added image === === If i place the rotation pivot of one of these rectangles into the middle (say for a finger joint) for somereason when i rotate it, it distorts the shape of the rectangle (or what ever shape it is..) it squashes it so it would be more of a square... instead of a rectangle. but it i rotate it back it would rotate it back into a rectangle. if you want my model to see just ask. but i think its some wierd setting in maya as appose to my model. ill post 2 pics below to show what i mean.

I'll take a guess that this is particular object is parented to another object and thus has inherited the parents tranform node data. Try unparenting then adjusting the angle.
