Gardening-Krueger 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.

Why are all the tomato plants chopped up dead on the ground?

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

40 Minute Effect

When a person intentionally self degrades or humiliates themself in order to make them the center of attention temporarily; often derived from a root to fuel a certain sense of narcism.

However the 40 Minute Effect is different from a degradation kink, wherein the person in question receives no sexual stimulation from the humiliation, only a sense of importance.
