We Are Making It Worse
What it does
Nervous shared relief after an improvised fix succeeds just enough to encourage another dangerous improvisation.
Use it when
- A bluff escapes detection.
- A messy workaround appears to work.
- Two people realize stopping now would be wiser.
For example
- The taped suitcase survives check-in and invites additional luggage.
- Your excuse is accepted, so your friend adds unnecessary details.
- The temporary shelf holds one book and someone reaches for a second.
