Quiet parties

People who are in the room and affected, but who never say so. They accommodate instead of objecting, so their silence gets scored as agreement. Ask them directly rather than reading their quiet as a yes.

Example

Your father-in-law is on the group chat and answered "whatever works for everyone." He will not mention that the lake house bedroom is up two flights of stairs. Ask him privately, and you learn he needs a ground-floor room.
