Sinking

If you see/ realize that the ship is sinking and everybody is in mortal danger so you scream out "EVERYBODY!! The SHIP IS SINKING!!! EVERYBODY IS IN MORTAL DANGER!!!", everybody looks at you, annoyed, and whispers to one another (or merely thinks it because whispering gossip is unseemly) "What a crude man! How impolite! I'm trying to enjoy polite company and a Cosmopolitan, and he's yelling paranoid exclamations! How crude! How unseemly!!", and they all make every effort to move to the other end of the ship so as not to be associated with such a heathen.
