A condition where a person holds their breath for too long right before clicking a button on their device that may or may not do something really horrible,. Typically that button says "update now" or "I agree". Their brain is telling them NOT to click the button, but the device says click, so they hesitate, breathless doing nothing. Sometimes they pass out before clicking, which is always a good thing for the user's data, but not so much for the user.
