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?

Get the vag pointmug. If it was don't mess with our kids your kids would have stopped getting molested and killed you fucking assholes. Is that another mass stabbing? Do we ban knifes or is maybe something else causing that? Because you're going to blame a broader systemic problem but I'm here to tell you exactly what you're doing that would cause ME to stab up your kids. So did waiting until after HE did it help you in any way?
Hym "I'm not letting you make that point with me. So did you try to make it with him? Cause the was another mass stabbing so it CLEARLY isn't the guns. The last shooting only had 2 victims. This stabbing had 4. Do we ban the knives? No because that would be fucking stupid. He probably had some kind of individualized problem that he was incapable or obstructed from solving. I wonder what it was!"
