MODERATORS
If the joke relies on that much of an assumption about a fringe scenario, then that context should have been provided within the joke. For example, the appositive “her” has no reference noun and therein no information about her connection to the joketeller.
In a similar vein of lacking context, can you explain this joke?
"A dog walks into a tavern and says, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'."
It's a funny relatable thing that happens. It's happened to me enough times trying to get ahold of my wife. Obviously it's common enough that this post was made and upvoted.
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".
Happens to me all the time. Wife non-stop staring at her phone, unreachable when I call needing something extra from the store. It's almost uncanny how relatable this is.
Who doesn't call their SO at the store? "Shit, forgot to ask her to get beer."
The joke is so poorly phrased that you inverted the roles of who is shopping
