That sounds like an awful lot of Japanese to say just for permission to ask a question, lol. I only know basic Japanese, but what's wrong with simply saying, "ano... sumimasen." ?
Just curious, thanks.

That's actually fine.

@RelVleDy nothing at all! But, also nothing wrong with upgrading eh? it's like english learner knowing the difference between "um, excuse but..." to "hey, i have a question for you!"

"hey, i have a question for you!"
??]
Not exactly. It's more like
Excuse me but there is something I'd like to ask you.
It's much more polite than:
"hey, i have a question for you!"
