Member of the “Sorry, I didn’t hear what you just told me, because there are those two people talking 5 meters away, a child crying on the opposite sidewalk, and 3 cars passing by, on all of which my brain focused and put at equal volume in my ear instead of politely putting your sound first” squad

Does anyone else ever get the “I was listening to what you said intently, but then my brain decided to pick up that last sentence and hurl it into the sun, so even though you had my full attention and dedication I now have zero idea what you said - and the fact that this has happened has lead me to panic, thinking about how I don’t know what you said, and am now lost, and can’t listen because I’m panicking, and please stop the panic cycle please please please ple-”

Anyone?

Or you hear that they’re talking to you but your brain doesn’t register what the words are so you have to be like “Uh sorry what?”
