I labeled him a dumbass, if he proves me wrong I will apologize

I went to my usual place to get a hair cut. I was the sixth person to take a chair in the waiting room.

I was there for a bout seven minutes when some dude walks in, past the waiting area and into the area where the three hair cutter are cutting hair. He asks “How’s long the wait?” to which he received an answer “What’s ever out there.”

The dude steps back into the waiting area stops a moment and then leaves.

I would really like to know what other answers he thought he was possibly going to get.
