a.k.a. turned tables.
When your job gets reversed. When your shit gets all messed up just the way you messed up someone else's shit.
The concept comes from a fortune bubble gum wrapper that reads "Man who live in glass house should not throw stone."
This concept is often ignored when people do things for someone else.
Did you hear about what happened to Alice?
She's suffering from glass house effect.
She cast the first stone and just kept throwing, then one of 'em hit her glass house and, well, you can imagine.
I heard she did it herself.
Glass House Syndrome explains the current state of cancel culture in societytoday. People point the finger at anyone with notoriety who they perceive has committed an unforgivable action, even though they themselves are usually more than guilty of the same thing in their own lives.
"That celebrity should be cancelled for being caught on camera saying mean things to their spouse in an argument" because of Glass House 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!
