time dyslexic

Note: They are able to read perfectly fine. They are able to do everything perfectly fine, but understand different times of day and clocks.

def. a person who cannot tell the difference in certain times of day. They may sleep during the day and stay awake during the night, not because it's part of their job description or because they may presumably enjoy it, but because they do not know the time between night and day. This is why they may prefer sex in the morning instead of the night, as they do not know the difference between night and day. They do not know the difference between 10:05 and 5:10. They are completely out of it, which is why most time dyslexics are shunned from the world as they easily get lost.
The first season from the television show Full House. Joey forgot that Danny's mother was coming into town, proving that Joey was a "time dyslexic."

Danny: Mum, what are you doing here so early? Joey said you’ll be here at 5:12.
Claire: Try 12:05.
Joey: Guess you had to find out sooner or later. My name is Joey, and I’m a time dyslectic.

Time Zone Dyslexia

A condition where the sufferer routinely adds or subtracts wrong when planning things in more than one time zone.

Side effects include missed appointments, multiple calendar resends, manic tap-dancing through that presentation you thought was 2 hours from now. Adrenaline, cringing, lame apologies.

Coping mechanisms: OCD-like checking of the hour; counting out from East to West coast on your fingers. Pinky: Eastern is 1 pm; Ring finger is Central - so, noon; Pacific is the pointer, that'd be 10 a.m. - right? Right?
You told NYC to dial in at 10 but Chicago at 11; so is the call for 10 or 12EST?
D'oh! 10EST. Sorry - Time Zone Dyslexia.

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!
