Popcorn Paranoia

Pertaining to theater employees. When an employee prematurely cleans the popcorn popper, then worries later on about running out of popcorn for the later showings of films and having to start up the popper, then clean it a second time at the end of the night.

Shawn: Whoa--what's wrong with Lauren?

Joel: She cleaned the popper and now thinks we'll have to start it to make more later and she doesn't want to clean it again.

Shawn: Sounds like a bad case of popcorn paranoia to me.
Lauren: OH GOD!!!

paranoia

When you do something naughty about 1-7 meters away from a teacher, depending on the circumstance, and you have no idea if they saw/heard you. It’s like paranoid schizophrenia on crack. You want to turn around and see if they saw. But you can’t. You're just stuck there, frozen. Your mates are telling you "sir is behind you!" and you’re just thinking about the punishment from this. You think about all your life choices leading up to this very situation. Then your heart sinks and you feel butterflies. Nearly fainting, you awkwardly, anonymously walk away slowly. He didn’t see you. You know he didn’t. But we do this anyway.

Jamal: fuck

Jimmy: bro miss yeet is behind you

Jamal: *extreme paranoia*

Jimmy: bro he's a gonner. Hes got paranoia. No coming from that now.

Can we get an F in the chat for Jamal there.

Paranoia

Somewhat common personality disorder. Symptoms include not trusting people, holding grudges with ease, and taking jokes much too seriously.
Pros: No one can get you! Muahaha!
Cons: Hard to talk to people without you thinking they're gonna get you.

That guy over there keeps looking over his shoulder. He obviously suffers from paranoia.

Paranoia Agent

An excellent anime series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. This follows a group of people in modern day Tokyo who have all been attacked by a mysterious boy deemed Lil' Slugger. They all identify the boy as having golden rolloerblades and a golden baseball bat, bent at a 45 degree anlge (described on the show as "like a dog's leg"). All of these victims share the common trait of being under extreme pressure, trauma and stress at the time of their attack, and all of them have their problem temporally solved after they have been attacked. Each character has it's own sub-plot, and each character ties to the others due to the attacks of Lil Slugger. There are also two detectives working on solving the case. Paranoia Agent is a cerebral, vague and often confusing anime show, but if you take the time to understand the show's subtle plot clues, it is well worth it.

I used to stay up for Adult Swim to see InuYasha, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.. but now I just want to see more of Paranoia Agent.
