~~FYI~~
When someone is "lost in thought" it simply means that he or she is not aware of what is happening around him or her and that he or she is thinking about something else.
Situation 1: Mary nudged Liza because she was staring blankly at her.
Mary: Hello?! Are you listening to me? Speak up.
Lisa: Oh, I'm sorry Mary, I wasn't able to answer your question right away because I was lost in thought.
Situation 2: Husband and wife talking about their finances.
Wife: Honey, are you listening to me? I have been asking you forever.
Husband: Oh I'm sorry honey I was lost in thought and was thinking about something else.
What was it again?
Wife: Okay, listen now. I was asking you a while ago if you have any idea on how we can improve our
finances and savings.
Husband: Oh right, I heard you said that. Well I guess we have to do some cost-cutting soon and save more.
Situation 3: Sean is reading his favorite novel when Vince sat beside him at the coffee shop.
Vince: Hey Sean.
Sean: Hey Vince.
Vince: Have you heard about the news?
Sean: (without lifting his eyes away from the novel he's reading) ...hmmmm?
Vince: Hey Sean, I have been talking to you. Are you even listening to me?
Sean: Sorry Vince, I was lost in thought. You were saying...?
Vince: Oh never mind, you're not listening anyway.
You're deeply engrossed in reading your novel to even answer my question.
