An increasingly prevalent condition found primarily in young heterosexual American women. Characterized by (1) unrealistically high expectations; (2) materialistic conduct; (3) a sense of entitlement; (4) exploitative behavior; (5) feelings of superiority; and (6) a lack of regard for society’s rules and mores.
Princesses believe in their own exceptionalism and usually hail from wealthy or upper middle class families. They are quick to describe themselves as "awesome" or "amazing" on social media. Given their access to resources, they are typically attractive, although rarely naturally beautiful. In public, princesses may attempt to cut in line, believing their time to be more valuable than others’. They enjoy berating cashiers, waitresses, and other service workers. Princesses often walk down the wrong side of the street but refuse to yield the way to oncoming pedestrians.
Princesses also typically maintain unrealistic dating expectations. A princess may, for example:
- Stand 5’2” yet refuse to date men under 6’
- Demand a “successful man” despite having never worked a day in her life
- Display the arrogance typically found in 10s as a 6.5
The prognosis for Princess Syndrome is largely unfavorable. Management options typically include:
- Cessation of allowances and support funds
- Full-time work obtained through independent efforts
In some cases, full remission has been achieved, but most patients who present with Princess Syndrome typically retain it for life.

Chris: Mike, how was your date with that hot drummer on Saturday night?
Mike: It was great, but when I got back to her place, I had to run outside naked and pull the fuses for the house to make sure she'd still let me do her.
Chris: Mate, you have Guy Syndrome.

Civilization Syndrome is an affliction targeting gamers, especially turn-based strategy gamers, in which they promise themselves "just one more turn"--only to realize that seven hours have passed and they've soiled their drawers.
Most games that cause Civilization Syndrome possess an explosive mixture: they create long to-do lists for the player, which grow infinitely and exponentially with each completed task, and combine that with the ability to complete tasks easier and quicker than real-life, thus creating an overwhelmingly addictive illusion of achieving things.
Note that a game doesn't have to be turn-based to cause Civilization Syndrome, it merely has to produce addictive and never-ending to-do lists.
Named after Sid Meier's Civilization series, which codified most turn-based strategy tropes present in today's games.

"It was ten PM, my game was going really well, and I just had a few more things I wanted to finish before calling it a night. Next thing I knew the sun was rising. I got fucked by Civilization Syndrome."

Get the civilization syndrome mug.Riddle Syndrome is acquired when an Embry Riddle student, predominantly one studying engineering, joins their first engineering club or gets accepted into their first internship. Symptoms of this condition include: becoming hot-headed and arrogant, holding the belief that they are superior to their peers, looking down on non-engineering students and chastising their “easy” majors, judging people who switch out of engineering, constant oneupmanship, and becoming an unpleasant or cliquey individual to be around. Those infected with Riddle Syndrome usually stay amongst themselves, developing a clan culture. There is no cure for the condition, though failing tests, loss of friends, and other such related events are known to reduce the effects of Riddle Syndrome. The condition typically limits social opportunities, and even career opportunities.
Non-engineering students are capable of acquiring this condition, though it is less common. Pilot students can especially present similar symptoms, which are tailored to the flying program. As opposed to internships and engineering clubs, pilots may present symptoms as a result of being further along in their training than others or reaching specific milestones.
