That lady had been standing within earshot of our exchange and wanted no part of dialoguing with me! So finally after probably twenty minutes or so the lady I was talking to got flustered by my logical, scriptural and historical arguments for the Catholic Church. She jumped up and declared in a loud voice that “she had to get away from me” as she hurried away from the booth she was working at to God knows where!

But she definitely seemed to have a spirit of agitation when challenged with tough answers and questions!
