cell yell
Loud talking on cell phones in public places by people with the apparent neurotic need to invade their own privacy.
guilt
Traditionally, remorse over having done something wrong; self-reproach for some moral failure. Now, a chronic, free-floating, unarticulated malaise, a festering sense of existential worthlessness. And then you feel guilty for feeling guilty.
(Jon Winokur, from "Encyclopedia Neurotica," excerpted in Utne, April 2005)
