The Patrick Effect

The Patrick Effect is a statistical phenomenon discovered in Austria.

It was observed that something e.g. an activity that would usually happen is massively less likely to happen if the person who suggested it is called 'Patrick'.
'Bro, last week he told me we would hang out but I haven't heard anything from him since.'

Patrick Bateman Wannabe

Pretty much every pretentious alpha male who has worked for one of the big four banks in NZ. Typically possesses a hugely inflated sense of self with little time or patience for anyone that doesn't fit the mold of white, financially thriving, photogenic or doesn't look like they belong at the Boxing Day races or America's Cup shenanigans. Most likely has a massive mortgage for some dodgy semi-renovated villa in Ponsonby or Grey Lynn, just because those suburbs are designed to accommodate people who are 'cultured'. The PB Wannabe are only into women who wear one of those tacky gold Cartier bangles that you can't get off without a key and considers Jane Birkin to be their 'muse'.
If you don't know Patrick Bateman Wannabe's coffee order off by heart, consider yourself an unprofessional loser who needs more formal training.
