Outbox agoraphobia

[Becky]

[Outbox Agoraphobia] is an anxiety disorder suffered by text messages. Much like the human equivalent, [agoraphobia], [outbox agoraphobia] is where the text message suffers from panic attacks in the public, and so decides it best to stay in the relative safety of the [outbox].
The condition is most commonly caused by lack of mobile reception and/or lack of mobile credit.
Side effects of the disorder include anxiety of the phone owner themself as they dont recieve a reply, and then annoyance as they realize the text is still sitting in their outbox ready to resend an hour later.
