He barked back to me "WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?!" while barely glancing at me. I quickly decided that he had the wrong attitude and I kept walking.
Was that wrong?

This kind of reminds me of the comedian Jeff Foxworthy when he goes off on the stupidity in the world............"Where's your sign?"
"A guy drives into a gas station and the operator walks up to him and says 'Tire go flat?'
"Nope.........I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the other three blew up on me."
"Where's your sign?"
No offense to you, but at that moment, being the master of the obvious might have not been the best approach...........especially to a New Yorker.
