BLEEPILEPSY

From Douglas Coupland's MicroSerfs: the twitching reaction of a group of people disturbed the the sound of a pager or mobile phone going off. Usually results in frenzied hunting through handbags, pockets, rucksacks, etc. Especially frenzied when a phone goes off in a theatre. Example: The meeting collapsed into chaos as Fred's mobile went off. Everyone went into bleepilepsy until they realised they had better taste than to use the Nokia standard ringtone.
