A.W.S. (Amazon Withdrawal Syndrome)

An ailment, typically suffered post-holiday, by chronic online shoppers who have become conditioned to finding packages gracing their porch upon their arrival home. The sudden down-turn in deliveries can result in negative physiological events. Symptoms can include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, malaise, night terrors, random trembling, and/or a bout of the vapors. The condition has been known to be exacerbated by the sound of delivery vehicles and ringing doorbells.
