Luxmutarefacere syndrome

[robinbloke]

This uncommon compulsion is that which, when the subject enters a darkened room with a movement sensor in it for the light switch they feel compelled to strike some kind of dramatic and/or ridiculous pose, preferably facing a mirror, for when the light switches on.

Reminds me of one of the loos in the hostel where the first 'ling National was held. It had one of those switches but the sensor would only cover an area around the height of people's heads (roughly) because when you sat down it would switch off. So you head to wave your hands above your head every minute or so if you didn't want to sit in the dark. It was quite silly.

Where do you find those things?

Not had that before, and not sure if you mean this syndrome; which I made up, but am still subject to.
