Asked on January 20, 2022 in Word choice.
If you are set on keeping the sentence fragment, and don’t want to use a complete sentence as @John Lawler mentioned in his comment for brevity, what have you? Is it inquisitive (“Forget your password”) instead of forced past-tense with punctuation?

Maybe you’re looking for haughtiness which is in line with that same “this can’t be happening to me, do you have any idea who I am?” personality.
the attitude of people who want to be important – as to how they think they are. having all types of
insulting to other people?

Asked on March 29, 2021 in Other.
Well, “could” indicates possibility.
Why do you like to listen to other people’s stories, e.g. I’m irate!? “I’m so glad you’re home safe, I couldn’t sleep thinking about what could have happened” or “Why did you cross the road without looking? Have you ever thought about what could have happened? “.
Simply asking “What happened?” means you know something happened and are asking for details, or you want to know if anything happened at all. e.g. How did it pass me by? “you look really sad.” What exactly happened?” You’re less concerned about possible outcomes.
