Situational Awareness
Be wary of all things, especially things that seem innocent.
People will tell you to trust your instincts.
This is wrong.
Your instincts are idiots.
If you had a medical problem would you accept a doctor’s opinion based on their instinct?
“Well, Mr Smith, I know you have abdominal pain, but my instinct tells me that if we perform immediate surgery to remove both of your legs, that should sort out your tummy troubles.”
Diabetes? Remove their hands so they can’t eat chocolate.
Cancer? A good hug should sort that out.
“Nurse! Move the billion dollar machines and scientifically tested medications, I’ll hug this fucker better!”
Instinct is just another word for a guess.
Most people’s instinct is that you are generally safe. You are not.
Danger is everywhere.
Always bear in mind: the things that look harmless are always planning something.
Examples of this include:
Spoons – they're far too quiet, they must be up to something nefarious. That whole thing when you look into them and your reflection is upside down? If that isn’t proof of a dimensional rift into some foul, demon inhabited wasteland, I don’t know what is.
Geese – Evil, obviously. No further explanation needed.
Hobs Nobs – Delicious, but can be treacherous.
Eggs – They're all hiding something, I can feel it. That’s no yolk.
Hand tools – Full of germs and barely held back malice, like horses.
Cushions – Too soft, nothing that soft is innocent. How many of them are utterly pointless? Just hanging around, en masse, cushioning. That’s not a pile of cushions, that’s a staging point for an all-out cushiony attack force.
Always be aware of your surroundings. Be cautious of spoons.
Especially the large ones with the slots in them and those strange ones for spaghetti with all the weird fingers.
Know your exit points and keep a clear line of sight to the nearest bin or shrub to hide in.
Always carry battle onions.
