Get the fat pinch mug.A societal pinch point is a situation, place or experience, created either by accident or without knowledge / inadvertently by the creator, that forces human interaction and will inevitably lead to one or more involved parties entering / leaving the situation angry, upset, hurt, anxious, depressed and may end in violence.
Many people avoid these societal pinch-points all together out of anxiety or fear.
Examples:
- Merge lanes
- Any place humans have to form more than one line
- Any situation where manners / etiquette is unclear
- Parking lots
- Any physical place where people want something that there are too few of
- Being the first car in front at a red light

The drive through at my local fast food restaurant has one of those two lane drive throughs, every very time I get in line, people always try and get in front, and when I order first and move up first, the person in the inner lane tries to cut me off, so I don't go to that fast food restaurant so as to avoid that societal pinch-point.
The other day I got stuck holding the door for someone I thought was right behind me coming into a building, turns out they were just far enough away and moving just slowly enough to make the whole experience a societal pinch point; do I hold the door, do I let it go, if I let it go am I an asshole, if I hold it am I a little bitch?
I was at the grocery store to buy some flat leaf parsley and there was ten of them on the stand, when I went to grab one, a lady took all ten, and refused to give me even one because she needed all of them. When did my local grocery store become a societal pinch point?

The Savage Poncho Commander is an upgraded version of the Poncho Commander. They are your go to people who need to get shit done, except now they don't care about the feelings of others. They enjoy dunking on people, or flying elbows from the top rope. A Savage Poncho Commander is someone you call in when all hope is lost, and you need victory regardless of any damage done.
We are in a tight spot right now, I hope we can get this done in time. Don't worry, I know a savage poncho commander. Hell hath no fury like a Savage Poncho Commander on a mission.

Get the Savage Poncho Commander mug.Someone who constantly attempts to minimize the cost of sending his outgoing mail, perhaps even resorting to dishonest/advantage-taking measures to save even more.
One of the most effective ways to be a postage-pinchpenny is to simply "reverse the charges" --- i.e., write your mail-piece's recipient's name and address in the space where its sender's address-information is supposed to go (and vice-versa), then slap a few cents'-worth of postage on the envelope/box so that it still won't cost you much to ship your parcel but it won't blatantly look as if you are merely trying to mail the parcel for free, and deposit your item in the Post Office's "anonymous" mail-slot or "outside box" to avoid your having to face the scrutinizing eyes of a postal employee who naturally would just reject the package right off. Then, of course, the Post Office will have no choice but to just unwittingly go ahead and deliver your package to its intended recipient (incorrectly believing that he is the sender who grossly under-stamped the package, and that they are therefore merely performing a "returned to sender for postage" procedure); this works best for merely "local-destination" mail, since the Post Office might balk --- and be suspicious about how this "distantly"-return-addressed parcel ever got into their "local" outgoing-mail box --- at expensively "returning" a mail-piece to a faraway location.
