I'm Sure That Whatever You're Saying Is Really Important, But I Just Can't Get Past That Bit Of Food Stuck Between Your Teeth.


Yep, we've all been there.
And it can happen without warning. You can be minding your own business or lost in la-la land and BAM! You have an unexpected encounter with someone who just finished their lunch like thirty-four seconds ago. On this particular occasion, Miss That-Spinach-Dip-Was-Super-Yummy (who is also rather important and whose job description includes bossing you around) has something she really needs to talk to you about. The second she opens her mouth, it's all over. There it is, that little chunk of dark green grossness is staring at you. Taunting you. Any outside noise has abruptly gone into slow-mo and all you hear is very low-pitched mumblings of blah blah blah blah blah (insert really important task) blah blah blah blah blah blah blah deadline blah blah blah I need you to blah blah blah blah blah blah is that okay?. HUH?! What was that? Stupid spinach dip! Okay, rewind: Really important task, deadline, she needs me to do something and is that okay. Hmmm...So then you find yourself scrambling for clever questions that can give you some clue as to what the hell was just said because you were focused like a laser beam on that dang spinach. Oh what's the point? No amount of clever questioning is going to save you on this one because, well, quite frankly that spinach is still there mocking you. You couldn't process any words if your life depended on it.

Spinach-1, You-0.
