THE ERRANT STOREFRONT
A shopper puts a deposit on a pair of running shoes in a large shopping mall. When she returns a week later to claim the shoes, the shoestore has vanished from its previous location. As the perplexed shopper is about to leave the mall, she suddenly notices the exact same shoestore in an entirely new location in a different wing of the plaza. In some variations, the store has remained in its original location but has expanded in size.

THE DISAPPOINTING ENTREE
A local gourmand has been raving for weeks to his best friend about the pasta dish he was recently served in a new restaurant. When he finally returns to the restaurant with his friend and they both order the fantastic dish, the friend finds the speciality to be mediocre at best, and the first diner must admit that he agrees.

THE MATCHED CLOTHING
Two women who work together, each of whom owns a few dozen different outfits, show up at the office one day wearing the same top and very similar slacks. With uncanny repetition, everyone they encounter together teases them about being "twins".
