I retired about 12 years ago and got into repairing people’s cars and appliances. When I started noticing this. I made sure other family members knew about it in order to keep the issue objective.

E.G. Two weeks ago my son brought his old 1973VW “THING”to me because it wasn’t running well. He had replaced all sort of parts like carberator as well as ignitionp parts. I figured the problem was that his gas tank was sealed and the vacuum was robbing his carb and was running lean. Later that afternoon a my wife’s friend couldn’t get hold of me and ended up calling my son to lookfor me. She said the check light came on in her Dodge van. Since I just fixed his gas tank problem, he told her to check and make sure her gas cap was on tight.Well…that was the problem alright. Over the past 12 years hundreds of these situations have happened. Aside from this, others in my family don’t pay much attention to spooky or esoteric things. There are other issues as well but this comes closest to the Pauli effect. Most often, someone comes by with a leaky power steering pump and within a day someone else, perhaps a neighbor comes by with a leaky power steering pump.

Anyway - that’s my story. If anyone has any insight into this situation - all ideas are welcome.
