Long time no see

Been awhile.

Guy stops me at the MARTA station yesterday and asks, "Can I ask you a question?" He doesn't look like a bum, so I say go ahead. (Many bums initiate their demands with, "Can I ask you a question?") Unfortunately, this fellow's question is, in a very put-upon tone, "Do I look like a bum?"

Now, scarier than the bums (who are usually rational enough to recognize that I'm way too big for them to try anything on) are the put-upon crazies. So I simply told him, "I don't want to talk with you any more" and walked away.

What would you do?
