Ok, wait... I have to raise the "that is stupid flag" on this one....

Am I happy? No, I was right in the middle of something and you interrupted me with this stupid survey.

Am I thinking about what I was doing? No, not anymore.

Was I before you interrupted me? No not really I was wondering in the back of my mind when this stupid app was going to interrupt me again.

This sounds to me like a self fulfilling experiment, sort of like if she floats she's a witch, if not she's not, either way the accuser wins
