Pentropy

pentropy (pen-tro-pee) n. The tendency for the ballpoint pens at rest to suddenly and surreptitiously take flight or disappear, until none remain. (Once thought to be the result of filching co-workers, now believed attributable to the inexorable contraction of the universe.)
pentropic (pen-tro-pik) adj. Having the property of pentropy.

The origin of the word is attributed to St. Louis theater publicist and blogger Brad Graham, who is also credited with the term "Blogosphere"

Pantroptimist

A person who opens the same pantry or refigerator more than once within a short period of time with the notion of something delicious magically appearing, as if they missed it upon previous glances. Although they continue to follow the same pattern when hungry, pantroptimists are typically left with picking a mediocre item that they saw twenty minutes into rifling through a food storage location.
Ricardo: "Hey Pete why is Jim looking through the same places to find food?"

Pete: "I'm not sure, it's not like he mystically overlooked some tasty treat or something!"

Ricardo: "Seriously... fucking pantroptimist."
