I&#x27;m not quite sure how just saying &quot;hi&quot; is butting into a conversation. I didn&#x27;t shove my hand in his face and ask to have five minutes of his time immediately. That&#x27;s rather extreme.<p>Why not just say something along the lines of &quot;it&#x27;s alright, but I&#x27;m not able to speak right now&quot;?
