When you have to rewind the audio book 8 times because you forgot to listen…
J Honky-tonk C, I just realized I started browsing kbin and about ten minutes of my podcast slipped by.
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.
The number of times I’ve rewinded (rewound?) podcasts for this exact reason…
Sorry, I was coming up with a reply for the last thing you said.
the things?
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.
Story of my life. But my wife’s been dealing with it for 38 years.
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>”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.
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.
