Husk World Syndrome 

The effect most open world video games suffer from after the player has completed the main story and most of the side missions. Symptoms of HWS (Husk World Symptome) include feelings of boredom, depression, anxiety due to loneliness due to lack of events happening, frustration (mainly that the game's shitty collection quests aren't compelling...at all), and the feeling that you missed out on a lot of real world opportunities because you were so wrapped up in a fictional story. HWS has lead many a gamer's ambition of 100% completion to any early, depressing grave.

*Please not that HWS can occur with any open world game, not just the shitty ones.
Guy 1: I just got done with Batman: Arkham City... I mean I beat the story, but I just can't bring myself to collect all the Riddler Trophies because flying around a silent Arkham freaks me out. I'm sure there are more side missions, but the game really suffers from Husk World Syndrome now.

Guy 2: I felt the same way one hour after beating GTA IV.

Man in car syndrome

Man in car syndrome is when a woman who is having car trouble of some type takes a man (mechanic, co-worker, friend, etc.) for a drive to have him observe the problem and help her diagnose the problem or get it fixed, only to have the problem absolutely REFUSE to reoccur while the man is in the car, thus frustrating her.
After several weeks of her car stalling almost every time she tried to accelerate when it was cold, Jenn took her friend Keith for a ride so he could help her diagnose the problem. But, unfortunately, probably due to man in car syndrome, she couldn't make the car stall and it ran flawlessly. Needless to say, she was frustrated. The whole thing was a hog mount.

Indie Boy Syndrome 

A medical condition that plagues men between the ages of 15 and 30, usually recreational writers, artists, or musicians. A person suffering from IBS is characterized as someone who, when alone with a female, constantly says vague and noncommittal things or lapse into silence, waiting for her to respond with something poetic, in hopes that she will fulfill the role of their indie dream girl and like all the same bands as him.
Friend: Did you go out with Jake yesterday?
Girl: Yes
Friend: Well, how'd it go?
Girl: I don't know, we just sort of drove around. Every now and again he'd say something cryptic and like ... wait for me to respond. Total case of Indie Boy Syndrome
