I get annoyed that I do this! Like I'm talking to someone and my mind wanders then I have to figure out what they were telling me. I always feel crappy when this happens.

Oh yes. Or when they talk on and on and then say something like, "so in answer to your question" and I am wondering what I asked and is this real life?
@Verdant I have to use interpreters a lot at work and I will ask a "yes/no" question and the person will tell me about their entire family history before answering and I forget what I asked. It's so common I actually jot down my question so I don't forget it if they ever get around to answering.
Maybe I'm a snob or something but English really does seem to be the most efficient language.
