Frank's Effect

a term describing an intriguing social phenomenon where an individual, like Mrs. Frank, unknowingly attracts unwanted attention, particularly from individuals expressing inappropriate familiarity. In workplace settings, Frank's presence seems to act as a magnet, drawing people to their desk, and or have them utter phrases like "That's my BOO Thang," despite lacking any genuine connection. Despite efforts to deter such interactions, Frank finds themselves continuously besieged, highlighting the challenge of maintaining boundaries and navigating social dynamics in environments where one's mere presence invites unwelcome attention.
"Be careful where you sit in the office; it's like Frank's Effect is in full swing today, with everyone flocking around Lisa's desk and declaring 'That's my BOO Thang' as if it's the new catchphrase."

LSS Effect

Phenomenon when object and/or personal belongings mysteriously disappear and are not found until requesting assistance from LSS to help locate it. Thereafter LSS finds the item (often hidden behind other objects) and makes you seem like a total dolt. Typical items that disappear include keys, postal mail, and pots or pans. The LSS effect has been recorded in several places, most commonly the kitchen and Ed's workbench.

Victims of the LSS effect have 99.9% certainty that they did not move the item that they are trying to locate. Victims usually report symptons of confusion, overheating and inevitable rage when they are unable to locate their item.
ED: "Where's that whisker for the pancakes? I know it was right here before"

Me: "Oh god it's the LSS effect again..."
