If you want a good example of causation vs. correlation, I have this recurring thing where I'll say something awkward and then another person randomly happens to appear and they overhear it, but it's not because they happened to be around at the very specific time when I said something awkward and instead because I’m constantly saying awkward things, so it's inevitable that someone will eventually overhear it.

@Alice Some may call it awkward, I call it poetry.
This entire discovery happened when my husband and I were walking down the street and I said "I hope those fat and snorty little creatures want to climb all over me" and a man happened to be stepping out onto his front porch right as I said it, so I think it's important for everyone to know that I was talking about a litter of pugs.
