Why do I try?

I was running a few minutes behind schedule this morning. When I got to the bus stop and there were not any people there I was afraid I had missed the bus. I looked at my watch and it was exactly the time the bus should be there. I looked up the street and didn't see the back of the bus, so I thought I would ask someone if I had just missed it. The only person around was this homeless guy who was mumbling to himself. I figure he would probably be coherent enough to give a yes or no answer and he was my only option. I decided to take a chance and ask him.

This is how the conversation went:

ME- Excuse me sir, could you tell me if the bus just went by?

HG- I am TRYING to have a conversation with my Aunt Ava here! Can't you see that?!

ME- Um OK, clearly you think you are talking to someone. All I want to know is if you saw a bus go by here in the last minute or two. So, did you?

HG- I DON'T LIKE TO BE INTERRUPTED WHEN I AM SPEAKING TO MY FAMILY AND I AM TRYING TO TALK TO MY AUNT AVA HERE!

ME- OK, well then, can you ask her if she saw the bus go by?


Apparently she didn't.
