    Coworker/friend/loved one: “So why is XYZ happening?”

    Brain: Aww yiss. I will anticipate all possible questions and forks in the conversation, say it all, thus saving everyone time.

    Brain: Wait. Remember how you’ve been trying to keep it brief? Try that now.

    Me: “Well, it was 8:30am after all.”

    Coworker/friend/loved one: “Er … I’m sorry what now?”

    Brain: They took the bait. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE

    Me, 5 mins later: “… yeah so anyway, what was the question again?”
