I don’t understand how some people are utterly incapable of answering more than one question at a time over text

I don't mean that I expect them to answer them simultaneously, that’s impossible, or that I expect them to answer it all in the same single text box, idgaf if they text answer #1 then after that #2, etc. what I mean is when I ask someone 2 or 3 very simple questions that shouldn’t need to be timed apart, they will literally always only answer one of them, most often the most recent of them.

Example:

Me: hey what are you doing right now? Did you give Bob his item back? You’re in X city right now, right?

Person: yeah I’m in X city.

Me: okay, so what are you doing at the moment, and could you possibly stop by X place? I assume you gave Bob his item back, you were supposed to do it today right?

Person: yeah he wanted it back today

Me: … so did you give it to him? And when can you come by X place? Are you busy right now?

Person: nah I’m not busy

Me: okay, but did you give it to him? and can you come to X place now?

Person: yeah

Me: ????

Person: what

With some people I swear communicating with them is like pulling teeth 🥴

They don't seem much interested to communicate with you.... Of course they can answer two questions at the same time.
By you not seeing this and proceeding...to me it shows that you are not giving yourself the attention and importance you deserve.

I think you deserve better, let this person be.
Loving communication isn't like pulling teeth...of course I can understand of how communication can be difficult..

@being haha oh this convo was just an example, I only have this problem with people I need to communicate with, like for transactional reasons and such.
