Hiddo's stages of "DONE"ness with society:
Level 1: Begins to feel physical fatigue.
Level 2: Ability to form polite responses is severely diminished.
Level 3: Starts to completely withdraw from the situation, failing to give responses or feign interest unless being directly spoken to. Spends the rest of the time in silence and staring at the clock.
Level 4: Agitation starts to build up; hostility may leak out unintentionally in phrasing and behavior.
Level 5a: Verbal explosion. Ultimate social threshold has been breached, will result in shouting and profanities directed at the source of the trigger. May happen concurrently with level 5b.
Level 5b: Kick to the balls/punch to the face.
I was riding solidly in 3 today, verging on 4.
And yes, 5b HAS been reached before... twice. Once was due to
months of buildup in the 3/4 range, and what he said was just the final drop that flooded the dam. The other one was a bit of an anomaly in the fact that he made me go straight from 1 to 5b in pretty much a matter of a few minutes. Both happened in high school; grown adults are smart enough to realize the signs.
