Phantom vibration syndrome

Some call it "phantom vibration syndrome." Others prefer "vibranxiety" — the feeling when you answer your vibrating cellphone, only to find it never vibrated at all. [USA Today via one+infinity]

Actually the condition has a name, though it's mostly associated with phanthom ringtones. It's called Ringxiety.
