Talking at cross-purposes
What irritates the holy living fuck out of me is when someone ends up having a serious conversation with me, at length, when my mind's only half there.
It doesn't help either when the person on the other end of the conversation is an opinionated person who's more than five years older and loves to hold forth on subjects that he knows more about than you do.
It really doesn't help when he is mistaken in names -- and when he doesn't know the people he's talking about, never met either the one he thinks the person is nor the actual person... and it doesn't help either that I'm still high from the combination of benadryl and three hours in a programming trance without proper preparation (still with the antihistamines in my system, making me foggy and disaware) -- and I can't summon the words or the mindpower to interrupt and say "Hey! We're not talking about the same person here!"
...nor the mindpower to say "No, that's not what I meant."
My mind's still mostly gone.
