Social Mugging

A regular mugging will rob you of your possessions. Money, your watch, a phone maybe. A social mugging will rob you of something far more precious. Your time. The standard interaction for people you don't know very well (or don't really like) is to simply say "Morning" and they reply with "Morning". We all know this. You can even try the throwaway "How's it going?" BUT BE WARNED. Some people will see this as a conversational opener and will then proceed to tell you their life story. Walking away will not help at this point, nor will pretending to be otherwise engaged in other tasks. Like a well trained limpet they will stick like glue until they have robbed you of your time, and most of your soul. Leaving you shaken, upset and worried for all future outings.

social splash

The social splash is as a pattern of drinking alcohol that allows for a drink to be purchased, accepted, or carried in social situations –parties, bars, nightclubs, events– even when there is no intention of consuming the entire beverage. It is the covert trick of celebrities to maintain the heights of sociality while also maintaining their health, appearance, and alertness. It's difficult not to drink when everyone else is drinking alcohol, and the social splash allows that fact to go unnoticed
“I thought you gave up alcohol?”; (sotto voce) “It’s just a social splash.”.
