Excuse me, Can I bother you for a minute?

[Nie]

Hello:)

Is the expression below an appropriate thing to say, especially when I want to have a short conversation with someone who appears to be pretty tied up?

Excuse me, Can I bother you for a minute?

Does this sound natural to native speakers?

Thanks a lot

There’s no point in saying ‘can I bother you?’ if you are already bothering someone.

This would be better:
Excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you but do you have a minute?

[Nie]

Thanks Beeesneees
