the toradora effect

When you know exactly what is going to happen in a TV show/movie, but you get emotional about it anyways.

The Shabbat Effect

Something that happens to Jews that are shomer Shabbat. Essentially, what happens is that because they can’t turn on/off lights on Shabbat, they become very hesitant of doing so during the week, and begin to always hesitate before flipping a light switch

Joseph: **reaches for light switch, then hesitates, then flips it**

Mendel: Why’d you just hesitate to turn on the lights?

Joseph: It’s the Shabbat effect.

The Lego Effect

The Lego Effect is a strange phenomenon in which a person actively searches for something they need at a specific moment and despite the fact that they have seen the object in question 20 times when they did not need it, they are unable to find it at the time it is needed.

Where is that that straight 2x6 piece?! I saw it twenty goddamn times when I didn't need it!

Sounds like a bad case of The Lego Effect

Tommy Effect

An overwhelming feeling a girl gets when she is irresistibly attracted to a man. Just his presence for an extended amount of time will have her head over heels for him.

That Tommy Effect really worked on her. She can't take her eyes off of him.
