My wife... I ask "what?" and she repeats either just the subject, or the sentence without the subject -- never the full sentence.
"We still need to pack for our trip."
"What?"
"Our trip!"
"What about it?"
I have to do this too at times with my dad. He'll come bursting into my office like the Kool Aid man and ask me something completely random and I tell him point blank I have no idea what he's talking about.
My girlfriend will just start talking about something we were talking about 6 weeks ago as though it's still salient.
My wife does this, too! There will be no context, she just "continues the conversation" as if I'm supposed to have any idea what she's talking about.
I am guilty of doing this from time to time. My brain just assumes everyone else has context for some reason
