Same as the Iphone effect, but with a laptop.
guy 1: "Guys, save the table while I'm going to get some food."
(while waiting, one friend takes out their laptop to fill the blank, then another, then another)
(the other comes back, sits, feels awkward because of the silence)
guy 1: "Ah, that laptop effect is killing the conversation, just stop!"

Get the Caninum Effect mug.questioning the feeling of being in the wrong place when in a group or social get together, while inadvertently not having a point of reference while the parties chat away like old times, while you sip on your pint and think after 10minutes, this is a bit weird
going out with your boy/girl friend who still sees / communicates with the ex-partner on a regular basis, whilst inadvertently receiving the 3rd party effect when in social outings or arrangements that make you feel like you need not be there

Get the 3rd party effect mug.The effect in which one can use long distances or obstacles to deter passerbyes from starting a conflict when engaging in activities that said passing people may find unpleasent or "wrong". The field effect also allows for an unobstructed 360 degree view to allow for the spotting of police long before they are close enough to apprehend you.
The field effect allows for the smoking of cannabis in the middle of a field knowing that noone will walk all the way across the field to confront you.
