Where did she go?

It is possible that they disabled notifications appearing more than once every minute.
I too have this enabled, because I hate it when people send 5 consecutive messages instead of adding it all into one.
So now I can only get one notification per minute.
Next time try waiting 60 seconds before replying.
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.

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.
Tbf, phone is just one app among dozens of others, and quite rarely used one, too.

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.

It’s relatable to only a small percentage of people (fraction of people who are interested in relationships with women, subset people who are in relationships with women, subset people whose women partner is phone obsessed, subset people who cannot independently shop for groceries, subset people who while grocery shopping have had their women partner fail to answer her phone, subset people who have this happen routinely or significantly enough to even notice or care). You will see others saying that it’s relatable but that will just be confirmation bias.
And for each person who has experienced this, they only once could have experienced it as the image describes since black holes do not relinquish the matter they absorb. Who even would be in a relationship with somebody who is both on their phone 24/7 and be short distance enough to share groceries? The hyperbole is too literal and becomes nonsensical rather than comedic.
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".

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

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.

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.

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 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.
