I'm standing alone on a bus station, tired, irritated and completely resigned, holding a full suitcase and a heavy laptop, thinking what to do next, when a drunken beggar approaches me and starts his daily routine by saying:
- Could you just spare a minute, I...
And I don't even let him finish this creative asking for money for some cheap wine and answer:
- No, please, I really don't feel like talking now.
Surprisingly, he went away to ask another person, without saying a single word to me, and only then did I realise how ridiculous it must have sounded.

Somehow I would think that the silliness of your statement wasn't registered in the receiver. ;)
And your verbal retort was a rather genius response, on my honor.
