Phantom Watch Syndrome

The feeling of wearing a watch despite not actually wearing it, this can come from being used to wearing watches. Not harmful in the slightest, just weird.

Phantom messages

Where you get notifications for a message and you check to see it but it isn’t there and when no one deleted it.

Even when you check a groups audit log it will show no sign of a message being deleted.

“Did you delete these messages?”
“No, must be some phantom messages”
