Hairdresser's syndrome

This is when someone in business says that they could do something so much better than the person or company you used before.

Everyone will be familiar with going to a new hairdresser for the first time and they will invariably ask' who used to do your hair?' and then proceed to say how badly they did it and why you are right to have came to them (even though they are likely to make a bigger dog's dinner of it)

The same also applies for any service you used, 'who did your garden last?', ' who do you use to clean your windows? ', 'who did your last marketing campaign?' - criticism from a new provider is hairdresser's syndrome.
Householder to friend "The new gardener couldn't believe how bad my previous gardener was"
Friend " There's a surprise, that's just hairdresser's syndrome! Your new guy has done an even worse job as far as I can see"

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
