The Silent Agreement

Meetings: where the phrase "we've discussed this" becomes a euphemism for "I'm not listening to you anymore".

Where the art of conversation is reduced to a game of "I know, I know" and "no, you don't".

Here, the unspoken truth is that everyone knows the meeting could've been an email, but we've all come to accept that face-to-face interaction is just more... interesting.

What happens in this meeting that must not be said: we're all secretly wondering if that new guy in the corner is an actual person or just a cardboard cutout of a human being.
