What it does
Shared misery made stranger by the complete absence of purpose, explanation, or identifiable culprit.
Use it when
- An experience is unpleasant for everyone.
- The cause of the problem remains unclear.
- Companionship is the only available improvement.
For example
- The ferry queue moves between three identical doors for an hour.
- Two hikers follow the marked trail back to the same bench.
- The workshop involves wet clay but teaches only spreadsheet formulas.
