- getting sharply annoyed in a queue that is barely moving
- picking a needless argument during a long, uneventful afternoon
- feeling restless and snappy halfway through repetitive admin
- switching between apps while a slow video refuses to get to the point

Dismissive and disinterested.
Scanning for a signal, any signal, in a sea of static.
