temporal narcissism

The self-centeredness or vanity of an individual expressing itself through dysphoria caused by the inability to pause, rewind, or fast-forward stimuli or events occurring around him or her in the same way he or she can pause a TiVo or other media device.
(as described on CNet podcast 591)
-Temporal narcissism is often seen when people regrettably remember that they can't rewind the movie they're watching at the movie theater when they couldn't make out what was said.

-Example of temporal narcissism: Driving home from work today, I got really indignant after remembering I couldn't pause the radio while I ordered dinner at the drive-through window.

Lloyd Webber's Law Of Temporal Positioning

A Law of the Theatre

This law states that "people who arrive earliest are always those with seats on the end of a row.  People who arrive latest are always those with seats in the middle."

A related law is Mackintosh's Corollary
When you arrive late, and you're sat bang in the middle of a block of seats.

temporal irrelevancy

A COVID pandemic isolation effect that warps time and space into an unrecognizable, unpredictable and often unwanted distortion of prior reality.
Hey, wanna go to the movies tonite?
Ha! Funny.
Seriously, and after we can go to the club for a few drinks. I think there's a live band playing.

Temporal tribalism

The naïve feeling of superiority of living right now - thinking people in the past were blind to 'obvious' things.
'Jeez, how could they be so blind about that guy Adolf? It was obvious he was evil. I can't even imagine how stupid people were back then, to even vote for him...'

'I think you are suffering from a bit of temporal tribalism there Mark.'
