* GettingHighOnYourOwnSupply: An extreme version. Syd endangers his own health (to the point of near death) with celebrity illnesses - specifically Hannah Geist's - because of his own obsession. He's shown shooting up Hannah's virus into his arm in the bathroom after collecting it from her.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Syd's CreepyMonotone speech that he gives to each of his customers. It has slight variations, but he always declares that he "understands" how the obsessive fan feels.
