I never knew there was a name for this, so thank you (I learn so many things from Sketchplanations!) My example is with a friend who fretted over some crows feet, so she got Botox. Shortly afterwards, she then fretted that since her eyes looked younger, now her smile lines were more apparent, so back to the doctor's office she went. Rinse and repeat for her forehead lines. I finally understood that's why some celebrities go crazy with fillers: they mean to do just one little thing and due to the Diderot effect, they end up with an entirely new face.
The effect is showing up in doing renovations to our old home. The kitchen cabinet drawers are not working well and need to be replaced. Replacing drawers means replacing door cabinets too. But the replacement cabinets will need new counter-tops which means that the current tile back-splash needs to be replaced. Those items won't look right with the existing floor which itself is an anachronism with the window shades. Is it a Diderot or Domino Effect?
I’m nearly 56. I’m currently on my third adult dressing gown. I’ve only got it last year because my wife kept saying my old brown one was threadbare (it isn’t). So I bought a fancy Paul Smith one for £170….. which our cat proceeded to sink her claws into at every opportunity, so it’s basically wrecked now. And that makes me very happy.
Meanwhile my wife owns three dressing gowns. Why I have no idea. And I’ve clocked her wearing my old brown one, which refuses to die

Gosh. What a great example! Doesn't get much more real than making adjustments to your body.

😬 you're right in it! Bit of both I reckon. Good luck!
Not too far from this either: https://sketchplanations.com/yak-shaving
