I have an upstairs and a downstairs kitchen. The same kettle boils faster upstairs because it is a better stove. The same kettle fills faster at the faucet upstairs because there is better water pressure. So with these two things setting the stage, I think of everything associated with the kettle as being better upstairs than downstairs.
So, I go to empty the kettle and find myself expecting it to empty more slowly downstairs than upstairs. Of course it makes no difference, but that transfer of negativity goes with the pairing of kettle and downstairs.
Correction: this is actually pattern continuation.
