Wholly undesirable situations

When you walk around a corner, and wonder what's around it, once you're around the corner, you're what's behind it (or infont?). The next person who wonders what is around the corner and then proceeds to, wander, around the corner is going to be met with you. Unless you have found yourself walking through a chicane or have encountered a hole. In which case you're still there, and they won't need to wonder before they wander because they will be able to hear you in your hole. That is of course assuming they don't hear your cries and decide the corner isn't worth wandering around.

There is also the chance that your follower, being deaf, will misjudge their path, fall, and be just as unfortunate as you, if not more - subject to whether you're the kind of person one would like to be stuck in a hole with. Not that anyone would choose to be stuck in a hole with someone they don't like.

Note that I am not applying this situation to people who may be running around corners in order to get away from something perilous; in a chase, a hole, especially a hole around a corner may provide the perfect hiding place. This assertion is not applicable to scenarios in which your pursuer spots that you are in a hole, then you are most probably stuck between a 'rock and a hard place.' Or between an earth wall and someone undesirable.

It would be convenient in that situation that the hole you happen to have fallen into already has someone in it, someone who coincidently is carrying some sort of weapon or or digging equipment. I take that back, digging equipment could be used as a weapon. This is probably the person that you chose not to help out when you first heard their screaming, you may have turned around and then had no choice but continue around the corner you were hoping to avoid. No longer stuck between the earth wall and one undesirable person, you are probably now muddy and about to be the victim of undesirable person number 1, while the hole dweller you ignored earlier stands back and watches you squirm.

As you can see, corners can be just as unfavourable as vicious circles. Or vicious cycles. They do seem like the same thing.

Speaking of vicious circles, there are no roundabouts in America. Need I say more?
