Friend: "The the the the the... thing! That's right, the thing."
Me: "Can you say that again? You took too long to get to the point and now I don't remember the rest of the statement."
Friend: "Hey fuck you man!"
Me: "No unironically, I don't remember"
Friend: "Oh, yeah sure <the previous statement, without delays>"

This is usually the source of people's annoyance with me. I also struggle to comprehend what people say half the time.
This is always my go-to image when someone asks me what it's like.
