Dexter Episode Viewing Remorse (DEVR)

A baffling medical condition caused by overexposure to the Emmy nominated hit show starring Michael C. Hall.

This debilitating disorder affects people of all age, race, gender and sexual orientation and is most common in those who neglected to watch episodes when they actually aired on Showtime. Most victims instead chose to watch all 42 episodes at once in a short window of time on a Mac or a PC. Initial symptoms include nausea and vomiting, but can lead to more serious conditions such as Dexter Episode Viewing Remorse. Call your doctor right away if DEVR or any attributed symptoms persist beyond 24 hours.

"Ok, well it looks like I'll get started on this Dexter phenomenon everyone is talking about"...

travellers remorse

After travelling abroad for a long period of time, having the time of your life, meeting amazing people and tasting amazing foods...returning to your urban life working 9-5 (or 7-6:40pm), seeing a computer screen all day long, and wondering when the next long weekend will be.

i.e. Wishing you were still in Australia backpacking for example
