Miss McCallen receives mail and packages, and welcomes visitors to the company's headquarters, but as an experience "rejectionist" is also very good at preventing unwelcomed visitors from seeing the company's executives.

Individuals are not always in the eating mode, they are not always receptive to food. For example, if something or someone frightens a person, they enter the flight or fight mode and their stomach, brain, and body will not want to eat any food. Interesting, it is that in the flight or fight mode, which most people call the "fight or flight" mode, I think I would be open to drinking, at least water, to be able to fight or run away better. Humans are not airplanes, it may be best to call it the "fight or run away (or flee mode)."

A mechanism which structurally, physically, or electronically blocks human beings from committing an error.
Walls, locks, and barbed-wire are examples of a structural error-impossibilitator. And the way Web pages are programmed to not allow a user to proceed to the next step until the user types their password, for example, is an example of an electronic error-impossibilitator. Condoms and other pregnancy-prevention devices are also error-impossibilitators. However, some error-impossibilitators are not fool-proof. Parents, teachers, mentors, coaches, personal trainers, security guards or bouncers are not error-impossibilitators because—unless they stand in someone's way—they can only help others prevent errors. Error-impossibilitators are of two types, those that can be circumvented, such as by cutting a barbed wire, and those which cannot be circumvented, such as the wall President Trump offered to build on the U.S.-Mexico border. Note that very few error-impossibilitators are 100% reliable because if someone wants to, they can, for example, dig a tunnel under a wall, as people have done to get to the other side.

Some people use a deceptive tonality to reinforce a lie they are telling. For example, they will answer, “No,” but in a tonality that says it would be unthinkable for that person to have said or done what they are saying they did not say or do, and they may even intimidate the listener so he will feel stupid if he ever doubted or dared to question their statement.

A temporary, high altered state an individual rises to in which he or she senses the tiniest things as if they were many times larger and more intensely, cannot ignore them, and feels forced to react to them, often by correcting the source of the irregularity or by taking a break and recuperating from the effects having sensed the stimulus caused in his body.
A graduate student found he was in his super-hyper-sensitive mode again. For example, when he heard the sound of a car horn, it bothered him so much he had to stop doing his homework on the computer, get up, go to the bedroom, and with his feet on the floor lay on the bed to recuperate from the distraction. When he burped or farted he also had to stop and go to the bedroom for a short break. If he was walking to the computer and one of his sandals got caught on the floor tile, or if he hit one of his feet against his other foot, or if the chair he was going to sit on went slightly off-kilter it would frighten him so much he had to go recuperate on the bed.
When he does not stop, acknowledge what he sensed, stop what he is doing, and go recuperate, he feels the pain repressing his need to go recuperate from the reactions his super-hyper-sensitivity causes in his body. Two-years ago, he learned to stop what he was doing and go recuperate.
Knowing it is wiser to forgive the people who blow their horns or his neighbors who somehow bang on the walls or the floors because they do not know better and do not know how to be considerate, he reminds himself to forgive them because they simply are not as aware of things and do not know as much as he continues working so hard to learn.

The unexpected things that suddenly happen in people's lives which can in the most extreme cases shock them, but always force them to adapt because the unexpected event(s) prevented them from doing what they were planning to do and hoping to be able to do on a certain day, at a specific time.
Charlie told Kathryn, "It made me so happy to see you guys after the "unexpecteds" that popped into our lives." Monday, you had a family emergency and forgot to take your phone, which left me bewildered not knowing why you were not replying to my emails. Then Tuesday, my Internet was down which prevented us from meeting in ZOOM for me to tutor your lovable son.
