The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.

For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

    Student driver or new driver stickers on cars. I swear 20% of the cars on the road in my area have them lately. That said, I do actually think in this case that there has been an increase in adoption of these stickers (possibly to try and hand waive bad behavior of the driver?) but when I first mentioned it to my husband, he blamed it on Baader-Meinhof.

      I totally feel that. They’re all over the place here too. I don’t get what the point is

        Here it is the law that a Learner has an L sticker/magnet and New drivers have an N. Let’s others know to stay back a bit because they may need more time to complete a maneuvering or parking, or may forget certain road rules.
