e-taint
The spot where messages get stuck like a kid in a candy store. You only notice it when it takes longer than your favorite show and you're ready to throw a tantrum.
Your friend's message took 20 minutes. You're now a human tantrum.
Your crush's message came after your favorite show ended. You're now a disappointed kid.
Your mom's message came when you were eating your snack. You're now a confused human.
