The visual references provided by oneironaut definitely helped. I'm not a very spatial thinker, but I am *very* visual. So thank him for me. :)
The trouble with the guy you reference in the last couple of sentences is that they tend to grow into the sort who nods when abusive!boss harasses you, and then says "you know, that was really unfair..." when you're alone in the lunchroom. The sort who you think you can count on, but leaves you high and dry in a fight. I almost prefer the bullies-- at least I can see *them* coming.
