This Interruption Is Losing to My Book
What it does
Quiet irritation from someone whose attention remains firmly committed to the better thing already in hand.
Use it when
- Reading is interrupted for a weak reason.
- A distraction has not earned full engagement.
- You want to signal polite but unmistakable annoyance.
For example
- A roommate asks where the tape is during the final chapter.
- The train conductor begins a survey while the mystery reaches its reveal.
- A phone notification announces a sale on the book you are currently reading.
