Happens all the time. I've been:-

  Delivered "back" to a mental institution by a bus driver
  who took the bus off route to do it!

  Exorcised on a train by a huge Jamaican Lay Preacher!!

  Asked by a "drunk" - "How much Methodone are you taking?"!!!

  Assumed to be deaf by a bus driver who "mouthed" the answer
  to my question - to which I obviously said "Pardon"!!!!

All part of life's rich pageant!!!!!

Cheers
