The TB Effect

A phenomenon experienced during social interactions where one's presence or influence inadvertently leads to a decline in another's performance, coordination, or luck. Characterized by unexpected and often humorous mishaps, such as losing one's game or accidentally spilling a drink. The TB Effect encapsulates those moments where the mere interaction with, or proximity to, a particular individual seems to disrupt the usual flow of events, leading to minor yet noticeable errors or accidents. It is often discussed in a light-hearted manner, acknowledging the quirky and inexplicable influence some individuals can have on others' actions or fortunes."
