This morning I was walking to work from the grocery store and when my phone started to ring in my coat pocket, muffled, I thought:

"Hey, there's music playing out here... I wonder where it's from? The fast food joint up ahead? Must be Christmas music, but it doesn't sound like it, exactly... it sounds a little old-timey, maybe, and that's nice... in fact, doesn't it remind me of - wait, that IS the instrumental harpsichord cover of 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' - wait, that's my ringtone! Hey, that's my phone!"

Relatedly, there's a post on Tumblr about how ADHD people are impaired in the use of two-factor authentication because every time the OP ticks the button to have a website text them they immediately forget and get startled by the text alert. And indeed, every single time I log into the bank, when I press enter and ten seconds later the text arrives, I jump and think:

"UGH, who's texting me! Oh."
