The SNOWBALL effect

So, visualize the following scenario.

You're in a room full of unknown people. All of them are complete strangers to you. All of them are looking into your eyes and then looking at the ceiling- 'pretending' they weren't looking at you at all. But all of them are here for a common purpose- in my scenario- a job interview.

Whose gonna break the ice?

Somebody....SPEAK.....please!!

I know... cough... and talk about your flu...

Bad idea.

Why the hell is she opening a crisp packet... damnit... it shatters the silence like the titanic thru iceberg..

Is it me.... or is it boiling hot here..

When will the interviewer call our names..

Hi my name is...

STOP!

So yeah, that's the scenario there. Cut to the chase- and training session one- someone speaks up- loads of hands getting raised- everyone improvising- stamping their authority.

Scene 2:

Back in the same room we started. This time- we're all eating lunch and we CAN'T STOP TALKING even with our mouths full of the most horrid tuna sandwich in the world.

Oh yeah Social Network... loved it. Its based on Mark Zuckerburg you know...

Oh yeah I played in a rock band... (once)... now I'm interviewing for this unknown company.. thought it'd be cool..

I've done this... I've been there...

And guess what, the bunch of girls there who professionally appeared, so calm and composed in scene 1- are now an annoying bunch of banshees who can't stop giggling... and one - upping.

Generally.... All I can hear is...

Blah... Blah... wedding dress... blah .... blah.... makeup

Blah....Blah... Club....Dance.... Blah ...blah... tried this mocktail...

Blah....Blah... why did you make that joke?.... Blah... it's not even funny.

Wow- what a superior sense of judgement... Am I suddenly a friend- that you are TELLING me what to say and what not? An hour you sat there like an angel on white fluff cloud.. Now you're roleplaying accents- talking about ruddy sandwiches and telling complete strangers what to say and what not.

Indeed, you have now been overpowered by the SNOWBALL effect- ladies and gentleman, this is the effect that takes place in a common social circumstance, whereby complete strangers are overtaken by this feeling of oneness, which leads to some strangely psychotic dealings- all the while being commonly strung by one aim (here the interview)- and if someone gets booted- they shall tie a 'fake bond' with someone else.

Indeed.....SMALL TALK SUCKS ASS.

I used to be a propagator- but now I'm just a big time hater of this absolutely ludicrous exercise of Homo Sapiens. Word of Advice- don't get pulled in by the this huge snowball of shit.

Word out.
