Mind That Hot Tea Phone Case

We all know that men don't listen as attentively as women. Here we have that very situation demonstrated. A man and woman are sitting at a cafe/bar and she is giving him the third degree over something or other. She's bolt upright, arm behind her back less she leashes out out him, an aggressive posture. He's slumped, head exploded, not listening. The only input from him, useless and completely missing her point, is for her to mind the precariously balanced tea cup containing hot tea on the counter!
