Wasting copious amounts of expensive instant film like some kind of drug addict in the quest to get a photographic work of art out of a 40-year-old camera which was never designed to be much more than a handheld novelty to begin with. The quest is made nearly impossible by a relatively slow exposure and no tripod mount or cable release.

User, waking in a caustic pile of spent peel-apart backings: "Jeezus Kodak! I just blew through $40 of instant film in two hours..."

From Spanish: Calcomania, meaning sticker. Calco Mania is the disappointment that comes from finding out something is not a Sticker.
It was a grim moment of Calco-Mania when I realized the grinning pirate skull was not going to peel off.

4. When you are waiting in line 10 minutes before closing, fuming and having a meltdown because you're standing behind 30 people with their carts overflowing with stuff, and you just want to get your meatballs and GTFO.

1. Taylor and I bought a few Pax wardrobes at IKEA this weekend, drank a bunch of coffee and spent 16 hours putting it together. We were up till 4 in the morning! Talk about Swedish House Mania...
2. Well, the bookshelf got a few scratches on it when Steven smacked it with the hammer in a fit of Swedish House Mania.
3. I swear we couldn't find Aisle 3, bin 24, where the doors were supposed to be for that cabinet we were buying. I got Swedish House Mania at the thought of having to come back for it another day.
"IKEA was a shitshow last night. It looked like everyone in line had Swedish House Mania, waiting to check out." or, "I was sick of sleeping on the floor, so I finally I braved the Swedish House Mania at IKEA the other night, to get a new bed."

When the passion of one person or a small group of people creates a better result than the perceived expertise of a larger team with more resources.
John's donuts are WAY better than any I've ever bought from a shop.
Its because he actually loves making them. Sonic mania effect at work.
