food for thought

imagine this:
i go to the mall and i buy food from a restaurant, we'll call it John John's. as i'm walking back to work, a man sees my food container, branded with the John John's logo and instantly thinks of his ex-girlfriend, who had wrote a food review for John John's in the local student paper. instantly he is transported back to memories of his ex and his afternoon is ruined.

i never thought about this before but we all walk around each day acting as catalysts for bad afternoons and great days and we don't ever recognize that.
