6. Obsession - Christine
The danger of obsession should be completely obvious to anyone. I mean, if you combine deep-rooted insecurity with some sort of magical object that will make you instantly cool come on! You're just asking for trouble! So, of course, when poor Arnie Cunningham sees a way to boost his negative charisma, it soon becomes the central focal point of, well, everything.

Yeah, obsession is bad.
