Where did she go?

Do you immediately close the text app after sending the message? In the scenario I described, I'd see the "they are typing" indicator and then wait for their message.
Not the sixty second guy but I do. Why would I look at it any longer?

If you're having a real time conversation, you'd see if they're typing back right away

If I try to call my SO or my mother, I have less than 20% chance of an answer. I have no idea why they have cellphones.
Gotta open a ticket and schedule an appointment.

Can check later though, whatevs. Minute or two won't change a thing.

Right. Unless you don't check for hours, as in my original post, and I end up getting a kind of wine you didn't like.

Multiple of your fractional subsets don't apply. It doesn't have to be a woman, doesn't need to be a "relationship" as typically meant by the term, and didn't hinge on some strange inability to "independently shop for groceries".
Ok, then a person who uses “her” as a pronoun rather than exclusively a woman.
All other criteria are essential to meet the apparent meaning of the joke.

Because the joke doesn't change depending on who is in the store.
It is the exact same joke.
“call” is a transitive verb.
“from” is a preposition.
Words have meaning. Grammar has a purpose. The joke-teller is necessarily within the store making a call to an unspecified “her” for unspecified reasons and we know this via the rare skill known as reading. Just because a vocal plurality of people interpret a Rorschach inkblot test or a Jackson Pollock painting as a specific message, that does not make those pieces mean anything, let alone any specific one thing or analogous things.
-
One thing that sometimes happens to me is that I receive a message right as I'm closing an app, meaning that it has just enough time for the notification to disappear but not enough time for me to actually see the message. Then I won't notice until I open the app again, which I usually don't do unprompted.
Exactly this. I have missed semi important message this way. Signal seems to be particularly susceptible, not that I would blame them or call it a bug just a very weird niche case.

I don't understand some people. Maybe it's the ADHD?
Like, I'll text them "Should I bring something to the party?"
They'll immediately reply, "Sure. How about wine?"
I'll immediately reply, "Cool. What kind?"
And then no answer. For hours.
I can only assume that they threw their phone in the river as soon as they sent their text message. Maybe it was overheating.
I do this sometimes. After I reply, I don't expect another question maybe because I assume it would be in a single question otherwise. Then I return back to whatever I was doing and can often not notice any new messages ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the other hand, I'm usually ok if you choose at your own discretion in such a case, I'm not the one to be picky if I failed to choose in the first place

No. You have a very strangely rigid concept of what pieces are actually required for the joke here. A person who is usually on their phone is difficult to contact. The "joke" is the disconnect between a person being apparently on their phone at all times and being unable to contact them yourself when needing to. That's literally it. Every other detail is just window dressing.

I understood that much. Take it up with [email protected] for what their interpretation requires.
The set dressing either should have been communicated clearer to not be confusing or wholly omitted.

I hate that we have turned into this as a society.
I literally can’t take a shit in peace because my wife is blowing up my phone. Like GFD give me 5 minutes to wipe my ass and I’ll call you back!
-
Good, now you've wasted both a call and a text
Both very precious resources.

Well time is, at least for most people.

I literally dont text chat with anyone because everyone treats them as forever chats. Like we need to learn how to say bye to each other again or something, see you later.
