Commuter "mistaken identity"

I'm on the L trying to mentally prep for work while listening to Monica's "Stay or Go". And just as we approach the best part I hear some off-key humming. Rather loud at that. I look up to see who is maiming a cat and I see this dude seriously focused on his humming.

As our eyes catch, he's mouthing something and staring mad hard. (What da dixie?!) He takes off his earphones and rather loudly says "Violet?" I ignore him because clearly he's delusional lol

He says it again with more conviction "Violet?!". I ignore him again

Obviously he thinks I'm dumb because he says "Hey, Are you Violet?". Really sir I think I know who I am. Trust me. I don't even look like a Violet.

Please explain why he asks me more time before he decides to believe that I'm not Violet and returns to his off-key humming.

But I see him looking out the corner of his eye at me LOL

Signed
"Violet" (LOL)
