None of Us Know What Is Happening
What it does
Nobody in the room understands the explanation; at least the confusion is unanimous.
Use it when
- An explanation has confused everyone equally.
- An announcement leaves the group unsure whether it was serious.
- The instructions contain no recognizable next step.
For example
- “For the second phase, just reverse the permissions matrix.”
- The substitute teacher says, “Continue from yesterday,” and yesterday no one learned anything.
- The family chat receives “Don’t panic” with no follow-up.
