n. An individual stricken with extreme litigiousness, usually due to a vicious combination of nosiness, paranoia, persecution complex, having too much time, and an innate and perhaps genetic inability to take responsibility for him or herself.
Much like a person for whom every sniffle is merely the first sign of impending death by swine flu, the legal hypochondriac believes that every one of life's minor inconveniences is not only someone else's fault, but someone else's legal liability. This necessitates calling at least three lawyers, writing letters, gathering boxes of evidence, filing multiple law suits, and then lodging complaints with the Law Society about the lawyers who refused to take the case on a contingency fee.
The legal hypochondriac can often be found on the black lists of every law firm within several hundred kilometres of his or her home.

Get the legal hypochondriac mug.Hypocondria is bad enough, since it often means dat you automatically may not trust anyone who comes to you wif a new proposal or idea. But "hypocondoria" is even more debilitating, in dat it involves a constant fear of being attacked by huge ugly scavenger birds!

Get the hypocondria mug.hypocarndria: excessive anxiety about all the things that can be wrong with your car; a tendency to fear or imagine there are problems with your car that aren't actually there. Sometimes mechanics will tell the owner that the problems are all in her head (gasket) but she won't believe it.
I had also decided that the steering in my car was weird, like the steering wheel was turning way too much. I'd gone so far in this belief that it was making me nervous to drive, sedately cautious like a little old lady instead of the risk taking old lady daredevil driver I usually am.
At one shop I asked them to take a look at the steering when I had the car in for a minor door handle repair and they said nothing was wrong with the steering. Afterwards I went to another place, where the brakes were fixed last week, but afterwards they didn't seem right. A mechanic looked at the brakes and drove all around and said the brakes were fine.
So, now it seems that I've developed hypocarndria. Nobody warns you about this.
