Outbox Agoraphobia is an
anxiety disorder suffered by text messages. Much like the human equivalent, agoraphobia, outbox agoraphobia is where the
text message suffers from
panic attacks in the public, and so decides it best to stay in the relative safety of the outbox.
The condition is most commonly caused by lack of mobile reception and/or lack of mobile credit.
Side effects of the disorder include anxiety of the phone owner themself as they don't recieve a reply, and then annoyance as they realize the text is still sitting in their outbox ready to resend an hour later.
