Verbatim conversation initiated by a person of suspicious cleanliness as he and Susan and her little sister all exited the NYC subway system.

Are you a rider?

Am I a rider?

Susan thought perhaps he was going to ask for directions and was getting ready to point him back toward the subway map.

Are you a writer?

Am I a writer?

Susan thought perhaps he was going to ask her how to write something down.

Are you a writer?

It was evident that he was getting aggitated with Susan but she still didn't understand what he was trying to communicate so she asked one more time for clarity;

Do I ride or do I write?

Are you a writer?

Yes, I can write.

Are you a WRITER?

The time limit for Susan's interest in continuing the conversation ran out.

No.

As they walked away Susan's little sister said quite cheekily maybe he recognized you from your BLAHg.
