Tandy Syndrome

When someone in the office is given a nickname they refuse to acknowledge and the resulting defiance has a paradoxical effect, becoming the primary way that person is known, addressed, or referred to.

Tandy: I refuse to be called Tandy!
Everyone : Tandy is suffering from Tandy Syndrome.

Mafia Syndrome

A condition characterized by an overwhelming sense of paranoia at having one's back exposed or unprotected; The person who sits in the back of the class, or the back of the restaurant, or in the corner, like a real creeper, who is afraid of spontaneous back stabbings by strangers or hit men; So named because of the old days where mafia members never sat at a place in a restaurant where they could be attacked or caught unawares by someone coming in the front door. It has since carried over to the modern day, where it isn't really necessary, (unless you live in a third world country or maybe Iraq or North Korea) but somehow still affects people in all walks of life.

Waitress: "Sir, will this table be alright?"

Creeper: "No... no, let me have that booth that's in the corner...and turn out the light over the table please. I normally eat in the dark."

Waitress to Hostess: "Why didn't you warn me that creep has mafia syndrome?"

The AL syndrome

"The AL syndrome" is a workplace phenomenon characterized by individuals employing ostentatious language and intricate terminology to mask their lack of understanding or proficiency. This behavior is motivated by a desire to bewilder listeners, creating the illusion of competence while concealing a genuine deficiency in knowledge or skills. It often manifests in verbose, convoluted communication that serves to obfuscate rather than clarify. This tactic can be detrimental to effective collaboration and hinder productivity within a professional environment.

During the team meeting, Adam resorted to the AL syndrome, using a barrage of complex jargon to discuss the project, despite having a limited grasp on its intricacies.
