Gear adrift is a gift 

When someone leaves their shit out and shortly thereafter it magically becomes your shit.
Jimmy: Damn, Hayden! Niko left his new cover on the bench!
Hayden: You know what they say Jimmy, gear adrift is a gift!

adrift at sea

starting to take a shit in a public toilet when it's empty, but then someone else enters the toilets and you have to hold until they leave before you continue your business.

the term comes from the same fear and loneliness felt by both those genuinely lost at sea and those holding a shit in a public restroom
Steve-"bro you were in that toilet for ages! what was the deal with that!?"
Dan-"Ah man, i ended up adrift at sea, the fear i felt was unbearable!"
Steve- " i'm so sorry that happened to you"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
