At meetings at work you could “get” your co-workers with the circle game, but then you’d always have to be on the lookout as well. Your eyes never go below anyone’s waist for fear of the circle.

“You want to regress… ‘Oh, I’m sorry, the bank cannot cash your cheque without proper ID. You’ll have to come back tomorrow.’ ‘NO! NO NO NO NO NO!’ And the teller starts to regress: ‘I want you to get out of the baaaaaaaaaaank!’ The manager comes over: ‘Stop this, the two of you, right now.’ And makes you go stand in the corner with your chequebook. ‘Aw, you’re a stupidhead. This is you: nyaaaaaaaah.’” - Elvira Kurt
