When you've been trying and trying to complete a minor task, but failing every time and once you come close to finishing it or you actually finished it, you start retrying it again out of habit.
Person A gets close to finishing, but fails
Person A: NOOO, I WAS SO CLOSE!!
Person B: The Sisyphus Effect has taken another victim, honest skill issue.
Person A: fuck you

Get the The Sisyphus Effect mug.The effect where pre-COVID era felt like a mere dream (or a trailer for our current life), as we're now 4 years into post-COVID era (as of 2026)
Ever since the pandemic, my memories from before COVID-19 pandemic feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream; I guess I’m experiencing that pre-COVID dream effect.

Get the pre-COVID dream effect mug.My old boss felt the boomerang effect good the other day. He voted to remove immigrants from the country, but now there are none to wash his house.

Get the Boomerang effect mug.When a film contains a number of good scenes which are almost immediately followed by scenes of a far lesser quality, causing the film to slowly move downhill until there's no hope in sight. The downhill effect was made popular by Raymond Walter back in 1988 with his film "Blue Code."
"The Perks of Being a Wallflower" really suffered from the downhill effect unlike the much superior film "Me and You and Everyone We Know."

Get the Downhill effect mug.I almost gave myself bangs when I woke up because of the quarantine effect.
I just ran 4 miles and oddly didn't feel thirsty because of the quarantine effect.
I just deep cleaned my whole house and then made myself Ramen because of the quarantine effect.
