Ah, safety, thy name is cycling with your headphones on!
I would have let her keep going, grabbed the phone and started calling people in her address book, "Hey, do you know the owner of this phone number? Tell her she can come get it from me if she wants to pay me $100, otherwise she can pound sand."
Reminds of this guy last summer who was crossing 10th Street and wasn't even half-way across when my light went green so that he was not only still in front of my bumper, but had the lanes coming the other way about to run him over. So I just touch the horn to alert him "dude, you're gonna get run over if you don't wake up and LOOK at what's going on" and he starts screaming, "Mother***** don't honk your M**** horn at me!" Ya ok buddy, next time I'll just flash my lights to distract the other drivers so they don't see you and mangle you under their wheels while I laugh.
