First, some background info. A UW student has put together a service called One Bus Away (http://onebusaway.org/), which interfaces with the city bus information system to let you call, send a text message, or check the web site to find out how many minutes early or late your bus is going to be. It's really handy, and I use it pretty much every time I catch the bus, now that we have unlimited text messaging. (Thanks, Mom and Dad!)
So I was waiting for the bus this afternoon and had already found out that the bus was going to be 10 minutes late. A fellow at the stop asked me and another person if we were both waiting for the 75--he wanted to make sure he hadn't missed it. I told him that the bus was going to be about another 6 minutes. He nodded, then seemed to realize that that was rather specific information I had, and asked me how I knew.
I should have told him I was psychic.
By the way, the punctuation in the title for this post is the "correct" way to use a question mark with an ellipsis.
