friend zone syndrome

An affliction where a patient uses "friend zone" unironically.
The patient sees friendships with people of sexual appeal as a failure.

In fact, this is actually a symptom of a number of other hidden problems (failure to meet new people regularly, failure to negotiate sexuality in an upfront way, failure to enjoy the sorts of people one is interested in sleeping with, and so on)
A: "Someone I know isn't giving me sex. I mean, I haven't been upfront, because I fear even polite rejection... But the only thing I want from them is sex, and they're the only person I am going to meet this year. Please, help me get out of the friend zone!"

B: "That's your problem: you've got friend zone syndrome."

Insert Coin Syndrome

The delusion that you have control over the situation, when its clear to everyone else that you are clueless.

Reminiscent of playing car racing video games in shops when you were a kid with no money, but still vigorously manipuating the steering wheel and enjoying the ride, as the text "Insert Coin" flashes continuously.
DUANE: "C'mon guys! One big push and we'll all get this last bit done!"

MARK: "Why's Duane from management holding a clipboard and talking at us? We all know what we're doing and we're ahead of schedule anyway. He's just justifying his payrise."

JOHN: "Nah he's not that clever, he's got insert coin syndrome."

Snide Face Syndrome

Snide Face Syndrome, or simply Snide Face, is an acute condition that occurs when meeting an acquaintance after a long period of absence and lack of contact.

SFS sets in at the point of reunion due to uncertainty of the status of the relationship. One, or both parties, may feel it is right to present a smile. The smile, however, is forced due to the uncertainty of the friendship and results in a contorted, snidey-looking face.

This facial contortion is uncontrollable and can be felt spreading up the face, causing great anxiety to the sufferer, and often lasts for the duration of the conversation.
