Do you have one?... You know, that thing where someone is talking to you and you're not really listening, so you're all, "what?" And then you stop and *mental rewind* and realize what they said.

I sort of thought it was standard equipment for all models, but then I was talking to this girl and she doesn't have that capability, so I was curious how many of you out there in internetworldland can (or can't) do that.

I've got it. That happens to me a lot.
It's handy, but the downside is that you can go back over stuff YOU said, too, and that usually results in a lot of cringing....A lot of cringing if you're me.

it's called 'slow processing'. that 'rewind' is plain old memory. i have that too.

It depends on if it is something I actually attempt to commit to memory. If it is in the context of my job, then no. I don't pay attention to 90% of what people say on the phone. lol

its funnier when you don't rewind and make the person talking to you feel insignificant.

You have ADD.

Honestly I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. Is "mental rewind" supposed to be a good trait? Because it sounds plain rude/douchey/retarded to me.

Yeah, I really can't stand people like this. It's called being slow, and that's precisely what it is.

You have to appreciate an optimist who can take being slow and make it sound like an advantage.
