"Hey, wanna hang out with a beer this evening?"

"Nah, I don't need to slouch anymore in this moral crumple zone!"

"We need this new feature in our program!"

"If we implement this it means the management fell in a moral crumple zone"

"What seat would you have to have for your flight?"

"Anywhere, but not in the moral crumple zone, please"

An example from my actual work life, lightly fictionalized—

Them: “Please review this design.”

Me: “Ok, sure, when do you plan to start coding?”

Them: “Oh, it’s already in beta.”

Me: “So you can’t do anything with my feedback, but you’ll say I reviewed it?”

Them: “Well…”

Me: “You’re putting me in a moral crumple zone here!”
