I happened to be driving home at the same time as my wife, but didn't realise. Was driving a good 5 min while trying to figure out why my podcast stopped playing. Her car was close enough to steal away my phone's Bluetooth connection. She was just as confused with a random philosophy podcast suddenly cancelling out her music.

I’ve had the same sort of thing happen when I was following my wife once

What does that have to do with motivational salience? Seems more like a serotonin boost, if we’re going to get neuro-pseudo-sciency about it.

I've also had this problem while following your wife

...and I, said problem, following you whilst you follow their wife.

Not gonna lie, best unintentional prank right there.
