PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder 

PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder — A term first coined by online class help expert, Jim O'Hara, that refers to the phenomenon that occurs whenever a student gets scammed online by someone claiming to be a "tutor," and now suddenly believes that ALL online tutors are scammers. Out of fear of being scammed again, students with "PTSD" force genuinely legitimate online tutors to go through completely arbitrary & convoluted nonsense to try to “prove” the tutor's legitimacy. However, because of the student's "PTSD," no matter how much concrete evidence the tutor provides bolstering their legitimacy, the student is still convinced the genuinely legitimate online tutor is just another scammer.
Jeez, this student that texted me got some serious PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder! Apparently, some foreign scammer from the Middle East claimed to be an expert in chemistry and tricked her into paying him upfront. Then he blocked her number and never heard from him again. Because of that, this student is making me jump through hoops to try to prove I'm not another scammer. It is complete BS that she's making me go through this nonsense when she totally didn't make that other guy do so before. But it's pointless, no matter how much proof I give her, her PTSD will still make her think I'm a scammer, so what's even the point of humoring her?

Runner's Tumor 

This is an extremely well-known phenomenon among the mentally gifted. Those who are more mentally capable than their peers have a larger than average tumor in their skull. This tumor, due to its size and maliciousness is capable of doing more damage to the prodigies' brains than the average person. This occurs when these individuals leave the safety of their bed and are exposed to overly dynamic activities such as running, jumping, or the horrible agony of HIIT. Therefore, experts advise these gifted individuals not to expose themselves to any of these dangers. Highly common symptoms of such a tumor are headaches and/or laziness developing during or after the individual commits the sin of performing any of the above-mentioned endeavors.
