The Silence of the Unsaid

Technique 2: The Silence of the Unsaid is a powerful tool for turning meetings into an exercise in awkwardness.

It's simple: just stare at a coworker, but don't say anything. Make them wonder what's on your mind.

Example: John from Accounting is talking about his cat's dental appointment and you're just sitting there, eyes locked on the ceiling tiles, thinking 'I'm going to get fired for this'.

Subtechnique 3: The Stare of the Unsaid, where you stare at John from Accounting, but don't blink.

Or, for an added layer of complexity, try Technique 3: The Stare of the Unsaid.

For a truly transcendent experience, try combining Technique 1: The Gaze of the Unsaid with Technique 2: The Silence of the Unsaid.
