Random Truth: "I can't hear you!"

Why do people think that I can hear them talking when I'm clearly wearing headphones?

I'm waiting for the bus to go to work, then this guy in a car stops at a red light and I just so happened to look over and he's talking but I can't hear him due to "Arise" playing in my ears. It looks like a silent movie, so I give him this confused look and pull out one of my earbuds (which has a silver tip on the outside sticking out of the ear, you can't miss it) very slowly. He goes on to say "CVS", so I point in the direction of the store down the street.... Then he says "no, the high school!" I say, "uh, that's out South, isn't it?" He agrees with me, but says that he thinks that he saw me before and maybe we went to school together. I shake my head and disagree, he apologizes and bids me good day.

Just when I think it's over and I put my earbud back in its rightful place, a guy walks up to the bus stop talking and pointing down the street... Luckily, my song ended and I let him know that the bus goes all the way downtown. LOL-Good morning!
