Q: Text: obligatory this actually happened earlier today. i had about a dozen meetings around my city and was taking the subway from location to location. at each meeting, i was taking meticulous notes in a nice black notebook i'd received from a conference, to the point my hand was tired from trying to keep up with what people said after i'd made it through about 7 or 8 of them. 
struggling to keep up my energy, i'd just grabbed an iced coffee on the way to another train, when my mom texted me about her upcoming birthday. i was running late and moving fast but thought it'd be nice to be a responsive son for a change and text her back right away, while quickly tossing out my now-drained beverage in the subway trash. 
i didn't realize i fucked up for about 20 feet, when still feeling all proud of myself, i passed another trash can and instinctively tossed out the empty cup in my hand. after a double take that made me wonder if i were in elon musk's simulation after all, i realized my mistake. back in the first trash can, anchored firmly and out of reach and now covered in a dark goo, was my notebook with all my day's notes, and weeks of meetings before. the text didn't go through anyway.
A: 
tried to text my mom while throwing out my drink. instead tossed away months of meeting notes.
