Interesting story.
I’m somewhat torn because for every time a person thinks “Hey, the phone is gonna ring...” then it does ring, then it stands out in our mind, but for every time that happens, probably five times we think it’s gonna ring and nothing at all happens.
There is a certain amount of statistical probability that things occur coincidentally, two neighboring housewives bringing the exact same thing to a pot-luck or whatever.
I myself have experienced a few things. I won’t go into them here as they were deeply personal. But I certainly can testify that there is SOMETHING we don’t understand about the human experience and what it means to be alive or conscious or dead.
Yep I can’t remember all the times I’ve thought to myself “Gee, I didn’t see that comin”.
You do realize that speakers make some noise just before a phone rings. Perhaps some people unconsciously connect the two ...
