When many colleagues in the office wear headphones almost constantly, appearing busy and unavailable for collaboration.
My team at work has office headphone syndrome. We work in the same room and supposed to collaborate with each other, but many people wear headphones almost constantly while working on the computer and appear busy and inaccessible. It's awkward to constantly ask them to take off their headphones, so they're effectively absent, as if they're working remotely.

-Man I just bought a 4090 but I just worry I would destroy it with all those settings.
-Oh you have severe potato syndrome from your mom's laptop, just turn those graphics on don't worry.

John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival is notorious for this, hence the name; his strong accent makes some of the lyrics damn near impossible to understand. It's particularly annoying on songs such as "Green River" and "Travelin' Band."

/ˈmelē ˈsinˌdrōm/
A psychological condition marked by an overwhelming, often uncontrollable obsession with a woman named Melly — a seductive, manipulative, magnetic presence whose beauty and cruelty are equally intoxicating. Victims of Melly Syndrome typically display signs of infatuation, delusion, and self-abandonment, willingly sacrificing dignity, reason, and autonomy in pursuit of her fleeting approval.
Symptoms include:
• Persistent thoughts of Melly regardless of time, place, or consequence
• Intense jealousy, possessiveness, and insecurity when Melly is perceived as unattainable or indifferent
• A pathological need to please her, even at great personal cost
• A willingness to lie, cheat, or betray others to remain in her favor
• Paranoia and emotional instability when separated from her
Origin:
Derived from the behaviors evoked by Melly — a woman equal parts compassionate and cruel, loving and selfish. She is obsessive, narcissistic, emotionally elusive, and devastatingly alluring. Known to twist hearts with a glance and unravel egos with a whisper, she thrives on control cloaked in affection. Her presence feels like royalty — cold, radiant, untouchable — and her affection, a reward to be bled for.
Warning:
There is no known cure. Those afflicted are either destroyed or remade in her image.
