transcarphobic

Having an irrational fear of trans cars, e.g. a car that was build as a sedan but now feels it is an SUV.

My car is very sensitive and won't start if I have a passenger who is transcarphobic.

proximity effect training

When someone occupies a weight machine so you can't use it but they just sit there, napping, texting, chatting, whatever.

I'm lifting and I look around to see the nine other people all doing proximity effect training.

update spamming

When a company notifies you of a product update that is a contrivance to send you stealth marketing spam. A cousin of "do you like our product, we love you spamming". Works on the notion of keeping a company name and product name in front of people so they can't help but think of you for future purchases. Still is annoying spam but most people are clueless so it is accepted.

Try as I might to avoid spam, I get plenty of update spamming since the masses are clueless and blindly accept it.
