stationary = still, not moving

I've had classic examples of the Verbus interruptus at the store. Usually while I'm in mid-explanation or conversation with another customer. My usual response is to acknowledge them with a brief "One moment," and finish what I was saying to the first party before turning to the V. interruptus and finding out what's their boggle.
