Societal pinch point

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?

bashing your point

The act of claiming that something validates your point, but you don't explain why, and instead use statements such as, "It's obvious why". Often, the thing in question DOES NOT validate your point, and so you have to lie in order to keep your point intact.
Person A: This balloon proves my model!
Person B: But why?
Person A: Why? It's obvious why!
Person B: You need a reason why.
Otherwise, you're bashing your point.
