The Sweveness likes to attack in your sleep. She gives you dreams that are mundane to mildly infuriating about what your day ahead is going to be like. So it will feel like you've been working for a full day already so when you actually wake up and realise you haven't even started yet your day will feel more than twice as long as normal.

I wonder if these are related to whatever malicious spirit it is that moves your phone/wallet/keys to some random pocket where those things never go. Like, why would I suddenly decide to put the phone in the right hand coat pocket, a place I wouldn't even think to check after increasing anxiety and desperate mental backtracking?

Some sort of demon is the only answer

The worst version of this is when I got off a six hour flight and couldn't find my wallet in my pocket. After like 5 minutes of freaking out I found it in the most obscure pocket of my backpack.

I believe the word you are looking for is "Aaahh"!

You feel a chill run down your spine as you notice the faint disruptions of the air caused by rotating blades of metal and steel slicing through the air. Your office door opens and a young adolescent walks into your office with a downtrodden expression on his face as two large monstrosities hover over him before finally surrounding him to his left and right. You become repulsed by sight of the two monsters as you notice their many arms, focused eyes, and what could only be large helicopter blades protruding out of their backs.

The young child looks defeated as he allows one of them to comb his hair and speaks for him, while the other dresses him and tells him what to do. You try to speak directly to the boy but the shrieks of the two monsters prevent you from having any sort of meaningful conversation with the child. Clearly the monsters are playing some sort of overprotective parental role... yet you wonder if it's more of a parasitic role instead. You start to make a mental note of what you are witnessing. The monsters prevent the child from having any sort of independent thought or action, and whenever the child is about to speak the monsters shriek and speak for him.

Defeated, you slip the application in front of the child and you watch as what you consider the maternal monster signs the document with the child's hand. Once they leave you become relieved... What you thought was only legend has finally arrived at your doorstep. And when you gaze outside you see there are more of them coming.

You make a note on your sticky note and refer these monsters as the Helicopterous Parentontous

Have you ever opened the fridge looking for something specific but you couldn't find it and gave up, only to find it right in front of your nose the second you stopped looking for it? Congratulations, you've been visited by a refrige-hater! These pesky demons are from the same dimension that houses all the socks you lose on laundry day.

This is the Confidincarus. It whispers to you that you should do something very important in an obviously rear end-backwards or obscure manner with the promise that it is so strange that you will stop and ponder why it was done this way and in doing so consider all the careful things needed to take into account, but when you come out of the spell you find you've done things in an rear end-backwards and obscure manner that only confuses, enrages, and panics you.

We need Dragon-type Pokemon to help us prepare our food before we cook it. We're not sure why!

I was walking down the hallway to my room. When I entered the room, I completely forgot why I came in, so I went back to the living room. Two minutes later, I decide that there's certainly some reason why I went in there, so I go back and take a look around but the thing just won't come to me! So I go back to the living room, sit on the couch and "HEADPHONES!" I was going to go get headphones. And what do you think I see hanging on top of the doorway when I'm about to enter my room for the third time?

The Glurn lives in your refrigerator. After you close the door, and the light goes out, he will sometimes come out from his hiding place (usually behind the mayonnaise) and turn the light back on.

This has no major ill effects, other than slightly reducing the lifespan of your fridge light.

Get yourself a few trees full of these guys outside your window. You'll know exactly when it's time to get up - even if it isn't time to get up yet.

there is some kind of evil spirit hiding in the list of sa smilies. this devious little fucker rearranges the smilies as I am scanning through the list, so that I can go through an entire section top to bottom and not see the smilie I want, but then I do it again and suddenly the smilie is there. this would not be possible without someone modifying the list in real time in order to deny me the specific quirky emoji that I desperately need to punch up my post.
