I HAVE SOMETHING FUNNY TO SHOW YOU.

JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE TO FIND IT ON MY PHONE.

WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL IN THIS SITUATION?

SHOULD I JUST SIT HERE AND STARE AT HER PAWING AT HER PHONE?

I CAN'T TALK BECAUSE SHE'S FOCUSED ON HER TASK, AND IT WOULD BE RUDE TO WALK AWAY.

WOULD IT BE AN INSULT TO LOOK AT MY OWN PHONE AND MENTALLY CHECK OUT FROM THIS USELESS INTERACTION?

AH! I FOUND OKAY, GOOD.

WAIT.

THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT ONE.

IS THIS WHY PEOPLE FAKE THEIR OWN DEATHS?
