Wore my Nerdist t-shirt to my vasectomy, just realized I haven't worn the shirt or listened to the podcast since. Has anybody else inadvertently negatively associated a brand in their head like this?
Almost a month ago, I went in for a vasectomy. I just grabbed a t-shirt at random and it just happened to be my Nerdist logo t-shirt. Well the whole time I was laying there I could see the reflection of the logo in the frame that was holding the curtain over my midsection so that was blocking me from seeing what was going on down there. Needless to say, that is not the most comfortable procedure. Fast forward to this morning and I see my Nerdist shirt hanging in the closest. It occurred to me then that I hadn't worn the shirt since then and even worse hadn't listened to a podcast. I'm thinking I may have developed a subconscious aversion to the brand (kind of like not wanting to eat the last food you ate when you get sick and puke). Anyway, I'll rectify this and catch up on podcasts this week, but it leads me to wonder, has anybody else ever done anything similar?
