Behavioral sink

Behavioral sink means something bad is happening because there are too many people. For example, if there are too many people at a playground, it might be too loud and chaotic, and everyone might get overwhelmed. Too many people can also make it impossible to get things done, like when everyone has to wait in line for a long time. Behavioral sink is a problem that happens when there are too many people and not enough room.
