I sat-down to take a dump on the toilet in the Chicago airport, and I had barely moved forward when suddenly it flushed and I was a victim of the bidet effect.

When you hear a person sing, and their voice is so beautiful that they suddenly become extremely attractive, even if you didn't think so before. This is applicable to women or men with sexy voices, even though sirens are technically female.
This phenomenon is named after the lusty, half-bird, half-woman sirens of Homer's "The Odyssey." They beguile sailors with their seductive serenading, only to bring the poor individuals to their deaths. The siren effect uses singing to deceive (albeit unintentionally), having the potential to give average-looking persons a façade of sexiness, "luring" others in.
For instance, this is the reason (or one of the reasons) the Phantom in all musical productions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" always manages to be sexy.

when one becomes angry or uninterested in something because everyone else is doing it, loving it, sharing it, hyping it, etc.
George became a victim of the hipster effect when he couldn't watch Game of Thrones because everyone else was so excited about it. George became furious and would often act out in internet posts.

When a bullheaded person is ill-trained, in charge, and singlemindedly opposes a large team of intelligent dissenters, and this stubborn decision causes severe loss, that is the J.R. effect
Usage note: The J.R. effect is often preceeded by what is known as the chewbacca defense.

Everyone told him not to heat the lava lamp on the stove, but he explained the model of the chemical structure of the subatomic particles and the flashpoint reaction -- we don't know what the fuck he was talking about. Anyway, now he's dead with a shard of glass through his heart as a result of the J.R. effect.
