Mercury Retrograde by Proxy 

When you are not affected by Mercury retrograde yourself... but everyone around is. Hence you end up suffering during a Mercury Retrograde nevertheless, by having to put up with everyone else's drama.

Later that morning : work continued awfully and threatened to spoil my day. Despite me being fastidiously careful, people tried to blame me for things which went wrong anyway. In other words, I had managed to transcend the effects of the Mercury Retrograde today, but my managers and co-workers had not, so I had to deal with their bullshit, nonetheless. In effect, I suffered from Mercury Retrograde by Proxy.
