A fake-out cry for help used when someone is just tired or drunk. It’s like saying you can’t work because the ceiling is too white.

I can't work under these conditions, the ceiling is too white and my boss is yelling at me.

I can't work under these conditions, I drank too much coffee and my computer is broken.

I can't work under these conditions, the floor is too cold and my chair is uncomfortable.
