Frank's Effect

a term describing an intriguing social phenomenon where an individual, like Mrs. Frank, unknowingly attracts unwanted attention, particularly from individuals expressing inappropriate familiarity. In workplace settings, Frank's presence seems to act as a magnet, drawing people to their desk, and or have them utter phrases like "That's my BOO Thang," despite lacking any genuine connection. Despite efforts to deter such interactions, Frank finds themselves continuously besieged, highlighting the challenge of maintaining boundaries and navigating social dynamics in environments where one's mere presence invites unwelcome attention.

"Be careful where you sit in the office; it's like Frank's Effect is in full swing today, with everyone flocking around Lisa's desk and declaring 'That's my BOO Thang' as if it's the new catchphrase."
