This is a response apologizing for not understanding him and asking him to tell you the right time to be back on the bus. If the person is understanding and knowledgeable enough to be considerate of your situation, he/she will tell you again.

Thank you! Thank you very much!!!

Hello.
I don’t understand this “or else” in this sentence.

‘I will call a police officer if you don’t stop, so you’d better stop right now or else.'

Would you tell me what “or else” means, please?
Would you say “or else”?
Thank you.

Usually, "or else" is a short way for the speaker or writer to refer to a list of repercussions or results of an action. In this case, another person doing something that would require calling the police.

Adding "or else" is unneeded in this situation as any reasonable person would know the results of police arriving on the scene (arrest, being summoned to court and/or fined, etc.)

As a result, the speaker would only have to say "I'll call the police if you don't stop!", or even just "I'll call the police!"

Hello, Koir. Thank you!

Does it mean like ‘If you don’t stop, some repercussions will happen to you.’?
Is it a kind of a threat?

Have you ever said “or else”?

Thank you!

Yes, that is what it means. I have never said it, but it's usually said when a person is angry.

I have said "or else" a lot. "Else" is an old way of saying "other" such as in "someone else" or "somewhere else" meaning a different person or a different place. In the context of "Stop doing that or else" it means "if you do not stop, something (that is unfavorable to you) is going to happen"
In other contexts, it doesn't have to have a bad meaning. Such as in "Instead of watching tv, I did something else" meaning, you did something other than watching tv.
Does that make it clearer?

It is an addition to a perceived threat (calling the police) in the way that the speaker knows several repercussions or results to the threat. In the context of a police situation, many results are known and can safely be omitted to increase speed of understanding.

You have the basic understanding, YuriT. I am just restating things with a little more detail.

Have you ever said “or else”?

Thank you!

I have not said "or else" lately, mainly due to not being in situations it would be used.

And you're welcome

I agree with this reasoning in the situation YuriT has stated.

Agree with this as well as it refers to other situations.

Thank you, MissMisa!

When a person say “or else”, the person is angry.
This is very important. It’s good to know. I must remember it.
Thank you very much!

Hello, SamuraiAlchemistNinja! Thank you!.

Do you say “or other” meaning “or else”?
Do you say “someone other” and “somewhere other”?
Thank you.

Hello, Koir. Thank you.
I see. “Or else” is an additional threat which is added to the main threat (calling the police).
Would you call it “insurance” or “double-check”?
Thank you!
