Good thing you werent about to fall off the route! The older i grow the more I've come to realize that its not uncommon for people to lack awareness about risk and consequences. These days it takes me many outings with a climber partner to truly trust them. This is why it always blows my mind when i see people going out on multi pitch climbs with people they've never climbed with before.
