      I once came across someone having a fit in the office. Unfortunately this guy had climbed onto a table to have his fit and was trying (badly) to climb even higher. He looked scared stiff. I held out my hand to let him hold on to for stability, which he did with both hands as if for dear life. His legs were shaking and looked as if they were going to buckle, but he snapped out of it after a minute or two.

        Sometimes when I'm really pissed i can pass out momentarily in the middle of a conversation & effortlessly resume what I was saying before.

                No, but it only lasts a few seconds. Bit disconcerting for whoever it is I'm talking to though.

                  There is a tribe in New Guinea called the Kajangers and they have a protocol where they hold a hand up and say 'I am not here', they then drop out of the conversation and to all intents and purposes they are absent.

                    like it.

                    "i am not here"

                    i can see this being used in certain threads. actually, quite a lot of them.
