Google Amnesia 

goo·gle am·ne·sia, n.

An internet disorder phenomenon caused by the sheer simplicity and instant gratification of discovering an answer to virtually any question instantly, where the individual who performs the query quickly loses all memory of both the query and resulting information.

The reason this disorder is specifically linked to Google, and not other search engines, or simply, "Search Engine Disorder", is from the sheer simplicity and high success rate at immediately getting an answer through Google, the answer itself looses significance having been acquired so quickly. Also partially due to Google's near monopolistic share of search engine activity.
1. I'm not sure, but I'm getting a sense of deja-vu when I Google, "Reason for the sky being blue". I may be suffering from 'Google Amnesia'

2. You know, from the amount of time John spends on the internet, you'd figure he would have some knowledge about anything, yet he's a complete tit. Must be suffering from Google Amnesia

Parking Lot Amnesia 

“Parking Lot Amnesia” is the syndrome that occurs when parking in any lot at any large facility. It occurs when you open the door of your vehicle to get out and is recognized when you are leaving the building and realize you have no idea where your vehicle is even though you left it just moments earlier. Which usually results in a long hot or cold walk with a heavy load until the final recognition of your car or in worst case scenarios calling a friend for a ride and returning after the establishment has closed and your car is the last one in the lot. The invention of remote locks has greatly decreased the syndrome and has resulted in a new disorder called “Arm Overhead Clicking” where you walk around arm raised over your head and constantly try to activate your cars locks from a distance.
Upon leaving an establishment: Dude, where’d we park? I don’t I know man! F*^k, “Parking Lot Amnesia again.” Well let’s walk around and use your remote (Arm Overhead Clicking) maybe we can find it that way?
