Phantom Text Syndrome

Phantom Text Syndrome, or PTS, is an acute neurological phenomenon characterized by thinking you have received a text from someone (i.e. by vibration or sound indicator) when actually nothing has occurred. Recently coined by world-renowned Psychologist Gustav Kuznetsova, PTS is now accepted by the American Psychological Association.

Forget it. Guess I was wrong."

Guy 2: "Yo, I think they got meds for that shit now."

phantom head

Phantom Swipe

That frustrating moment when BlackBerry 10 users try to effortlessly swipe a non-BlackBerry touchscreen to flow between apps or screens. It quickly becomes menacing beyond all belief.
