Convo I had last night
Friend: "The the the the the... thing! That's right, the thing."
Me: "Can you say that again? You took too long to get to the point and now I don't remember the rest of the statement."
Friend: "Hey fuck you man!"
Me: "No unironically, I don't remember"
Friend: "Oh, yeah sure <the previous statement, without delays>"
Then sometimes you just wanted to ask what something means and your partner is so used to you asking them to repeat they repeat what they said and no w everyone is confused.

Re-read the last few pages because I forgot to understand what I'm reading?

I’ve “read” entire chapters without absorbing a single word. It’s amazing to reread them and realize, yep, I didn’t catch any of this.
It’s what made me realize that I’m not actually good at multitasking.

My wife could write a book about this. Specifically about me doing it.

Been married 25 years. I'm sure mine could too. It's a daily annoyance to her.

This is usually the source of people's annoyance with me. I also struggle to comprehend what people say half the time.

This is always my go-to image when someone asks me what it's like.
