You're mid-sentence asking your partner if they want coffee, and they're staring at their phone with the intensity of someone defusing a bomb. So you wait. Then you ask again. Nothing. By the third attempt, you've started wondering if you've become a ghost, and the real question isn't "do you want coffee" anymore—it's whether they'll notice when you leave. They finally look up two minutes later: "Sorry, what?" You've forgotten what you wanted to ask. Mission accomplished.
