Pavloved

1. To become the victim of routine so much so as to become brain washed and maintain the same habits despite a change in one's environment.

2. To be trained to do something that doesn't make sense akin to being hypnotized.
1. Every morning I drive down to the corner of Park and Main only to stare find a vacant building. Man ever since they moved that Dunkin' Donuts I've just been pavloved.

2. Jim: Every day when Dwight logs out of his computer I've offered him a mint so today I didn't.

Dwight logs out and we hear the Windows log out sound. Dwight holds out his hand.

Jim: Why are you holding out your hand?

Dwight: I don't know...and my mouth tastes really bad and not minty.
