(Noun) The fictional effect depicted in the movie Office Space wherein one is driving on the highway. The lane that you are currently in is moving slowly or not at all, but the lane next to you is going along just fine. You switch lanes, and then the new lane comes to a stop while the lane you were just in begins to move.
Driver: Argh! Why is this lane not moving? All the other ones are!
Passenger: Well why don't you switch lanes?
*Switches lanes and that lane stops*
Driver: We're still not getting anywhere and now that other lane is moving! Damn Office Space Effect!!!

The nightmare situation where a gardener cuts away at plants, killing them, convinced they know what's a weed and what's not, but they really have no clue, and don't even know that they don't know!
Note: This is a combination of gardening, the Dunning-Kruger effect which is when someone is ignorant about their own lack of knowledge so they don't even know what that don't know but think they know it all, and the Nightmare on Elm Street films featuring Freddy Krueger who kills people in their nightmare .

The garden was decimated by that idiot gardener who obviously suffers from the Gardening-Krueger Effect.

'Cuz that dude is a classic case of the Gardening-Krueger Effect in action.
