There was an angry man at the post office.
He was furiously tapping a pay slip on the counter many times while he yelled at the clerk.

I was trying to understand why he was so upset.

However, two women behind me were chatting.
Even though I concentrated on their conversation, I couldn’t hear them.

Then, I heard a number called.
It was the number after me.

I was too busy eavesdropping, and missed my turn.

I was busy at work, but I’m not too busy to be nosey.
