That moment your boyfriend /partner takes a minute too long to take your photo.
"Done yet?"
"Nah this lighting's really shit. Let me try something with the settings"
"...okay, how about now?"
"I think the camera app just crashed, gimme a sec"

The feeling that somehow, at all times, you are being watched and stalked by Pokemon. There is no escape now. No escape from them. I feel them behind me. Above me... Watching... Waiting... Till finally, I lose concentration and they have a chance to get me. They're coming for me. Coming for me.. AAAAAGH OH GOD THEY'RE HERE
When you stare at your phone while walking to ensure you don't miss any PokèStops
Joe: Stop putting your phone to your face
Joey: But I have to catch them all
Joe: It's bad for your eyes
Joey: I AM NOT MISSING ANY POKESTOPS
Joe: *thinks inside in his head* Someone had Pokèmon Paranoia
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!
