Last Portion Syndrome

A temporary form of anxiety widely reported by chefs and catering staff who witness it every day. It concerns the dilemma faced by a customer visiting a hot buffet table and noticing that the item he wishes to purchase is the very last portion in a tray. Thus the dilemma. Does he wait longingly for the item to be replaced with a fresh batch or does he choose something else? Whatever becomes of the last portion.............?

Hey Tony ,check out the long face on that dude at the counter. Looks like LPS to me, yes I diagnose Last Portion Syndrome.

Pulling A Gandhi

A person who steps in between two feuding people for the sole reason of making themselves look like a peacemaker and receiving kudos for their self-righteous effort. By relativizing the claims of each person in the dispute, and standing open armed with a pseudo-serene expression on their face, they naff off everyone in the room, but still think they are the second coming of Gandhi.

It was all sorting itself out until Steve started pulling a Gandhi, and then all hell broke loose.
