Dutchman's Curse

The Dutchman's Curse is any sentence that starts with "It's just a matter of...", "It should be working...", or something similar, implying that it will take no time to complete at all, but in reality always turns into being a lot more work.

Supervisor - It's just a matter of copying that line of code into this file.

-- 5 hours later --
Employee - I'm still working on it since I had to rewrite the file to get that line of code to work. Stupid Dutchman's Curse.

cursing fit

When you get frustrated you also begin swearing a lot.

There was this one guy three cubes down from me and when he came to a problem he didn't know how to solve, he would start having a cursing fit, and he is so loud.

The Dua Lipa Curse

The over-prevalency of slap basslines in pop culture, including music for advertisements, and songs. This is Dua Lipa's fault because slap basslines were never so popular in modern culture until "Don't Start Now" and "Levitating" happened, and now it's everywhere. You can't escape it.

Person 1: "Ahhh! This is the 3rd commercial in a row with a slap bassline. I used to like them, but it's just too much!
Person 2: "It's the Dua Lipa Curse..."

Curse of Craig

You are suffering from "Curse of Craig" when Microsoft Teams decides to play hide and seek with your online status, acting all mysterious and crashing like it's auditioning for a sci-fi thriller. Additionally, when the crash hits, it's like Teams just dropped the mic and left the building.

It's like Craig, the mischievous Teams gremlin, decided to mess with your vibes. Your status? Offline. Your sanity? Hanging by a thread. It's the Teams version of a glitchy rollercoaster, throwing unexpected loops and turns when you least expect it. You're sending messages into the void, hoping against hope that your coworkers don't think you've ghosted the whole squad.

So, next time Teams decides to play hide-and-seek with your online presence, just know you've fallen victim to the Curse of Craig.

As I was gearing up for the most crucial virtual meeting of the week, the Curse of Craig hit me like a rogue wave.
