Selective Battery Amnesia

A problem that persists with the "System Management Bus," in a particular sector of the "Smart Battery System" that happens when a battery is over-charged or charged before being completely empty on countless events.

The effects of SBA are misreadings of battery life and malfunction of software of which work with the battery.

This problem persists in most battery chips found in portable electronics and can be fixed by draining the battery through one extended use before doing a full charge.
"Man, my computer says my battery is low, but I just charged it!" "Don't worry! it's Selective Battery Amnesia, just let the battery run down and it will fix itself!"

selective bless-you

When someone dislikes another individual in the workplace or elsewhere and decides to issue a "bless you" to everyone but that person when he or she sneezes, indicating a lack of worthiness and respectability.
"I don't think Jenna likes me anymore."
"Why not?"
"She gave the selective bless-you to everyone who sneezed in the office today but me, even though I sneezed three different times."
"Oh, that sucks."

selective e-mail

Similar to selective hearing, but when a colleague (usually a Manager) only chooses to respond to e-mails which suit their needs.

Typically, this is because they don't know *how* to respond, as a result of being incompetent.
They do this regardless of the impact their lack of reply has on their staff/colleagues.

Ultimately, they will not be held responsible for their lack of response and the blame will fall on the person who was awaiting their response!
Ben: "Corey, did you get my e-mail last Monday?"
Corey: "Yeah, mate."
Ben: "..... Can you let me know how to move forward on that? I need your guidance."
Corey: "Sure! I'll reply to you when I'm at my desk."
Matt: "Corey won't reply to your e-mail. He has selective e-mail, remember?"
Ben: "Shit."

Selective color

The horribly outdated and tacky way newbie photographers show off their brand new editing skill. Editing a photograph so that a part of it is in color and the rest is in black and white. While this edit does work in some rare occasions, selecting parts of the photo with no relevance adds to the hatred of this dying fad.
...Then she asked the photographer to edit her kids jeans using selective color. What is so special about those jeans, and why do they need to outshine her darling children?
