What does OH-NO (Alarm Bell) mean?

Oh no. Why am I this type?

OH-NO (Alarm Bell)
Type overview
Oh no. Why am I this type?
You do not panic for fun. You simply see consequences faster than other people. When someone places a glass near the edge of the table, you can already see the spill, the short circuit, the fire alarm, and the insurance paperwork. So you move the glass. Then you add a coaster. OH-NO types are tense because they are carrying the unpaid future on behalf of the whole group.
