egoseismic 

The belief that your personal location directly affects the epicenter of earthquakes.
Rhett: Since we've been out here we haven't experienced an earthquake, but back in North Carolina they DID have one.

Link: Maybe it's US! Maybe our moving out here redirected the epicenter of the nation's earthquakes!

Rhett: That's called egocentric thinking, thinking that we had something to do with it.

Link: I think it'd be egoSEISMIC.

egoseismic 

The act of thinking that one's presence in a given area directly correlates with the amount of earthquakes in that area.
(As coined by YouTube legend Link Neal of RhettandLink)
"We haven't been in an earthquake since we moved here. Maybe us moving here re-directed the U.S. epicenter of earthquakes to where we came from."
"That's egotistical thinking, saying that we had something to do with the earthquakes."
"I would call it 'egoseismic' thinking."
