==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a BOT that sends you notifications anyway- Please change this comment when editing this page. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

There's a function in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_%28software%29?wprov=sfla1 slack] that allows you to turn notifications off while you're offline or away. There's also a function to override this and notify the user anyway. Super handy. Would be even handier if you could turn off 'notifications' in real life. [[Cueball]] attempts to use this on [[White Hat]] saving [[Megan]] and himself from a presumably boring conversation.  Whether due to the hypnotic way this is delivered or White Hat's characteristic naïvity it appears that White Hat has given up notifying Cueball and Megan about his annoyance.

In the Title Text<sup>TM</sup> this is taken even further by combining this with a standard real-life excuse (or legitimate reason) to leave a social situation, it being that it is late and that the person using that excuse has to leave now. It is often used when someone either really has a thing early the next day and wants to get home early to get enough sleep to be prepared for the ''thing'', or just to get out of uncomfortable company or situations.
The specific time being 10:34 pm does not seem to have any meaning.

[White Hat, Megan and Cueball are standing next to each other. White Hat is separated from the other two figures by a small margin.]
:White Hat: And another thing that annoys me about people is...
:Cueball: This user has notifications turned off.

[The camera zooms in on Megan and Cueball. Megan turns to look at Cueball.]
:Cueball: They will see your messages when they're back. '''Notify anyway?'''

[The camera zooms outward to show White Hat. All three figures are silently standing.]

[Megan turns to look at Cueball again.]
:Megan: What are you--
:Cueball: Shhh- It's working.
