I Do Have People Skills, Go Figure

I was riding the bus the other day and texting someone I was supposed to meet later. It was beginning to storm and I wanted my friend to know I was OK, when a dude walked up to me and asked "do you have a phone I can use?" I just shook my head no. He gestured to my phone and said "but you got one right there in front of me", to this I replied, "yes, I have a phone but you can't use it". Then he asked "why do you have to dog me, and be all manipulative for...." I just said, "I don't know you, I'm not manipulating you, I told you the truth". He couldn't argue with that and left me alone......I guess a bit of truth was just the ticket.
