1. Person 1: "I got a phone call to pick up a purchase from a store and I honestly don't remember ever putting the layby on!"
Person 2: "Wow, sounds like you've got a case of Shopper's Amnesia."

2. Lisa went to the store and found the hit Drew Barrymore film Ever After in the bargain bin for only $9.89. Lisa loves Drew Barrymore. Upon arriving home she attempted to put the new DVD into her alphabetically categorised collection, only to discover that she already owned a special edition copy of said film. Lisa blamed this unnecessary purchase on momentary Shopper's Amnesia.

Shopper's monologue

The conversation one holds with oneself upon finally finding an item they like after hours of shopping, but then realizing that they are not sure if they really like the item.

Leah and Jenae were shopping at PacSun. After many hours, Jenae finally found a shirt she liked. While waiting in the long, long line, Jenae began pondering whether she really needed that shirt. She held a shopper's monologue with herself and came to realize that five other people she knew had that shirt and that she did not want to be a poseur.

Surf Dracula 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!
