the queerness of things that have become trite, when they are seen suddenly from a new angle

That would be a "mooreeffoC effect", wouldn't it?

I had a mooreeffoC effect in a coffee shop once. I looked out the window onto the street and saw someone coming from my left who was displaced by someone coming from my right. I wondered if I was in my right mind.*

Then I realized I was looking into a mirror mounted floor to ceiling at the outside corner of the window looking onto the street. It was weird. But I got over it.

* Something others, especially around here, give more thought to than I do myself [when I'm not mooreeffoCing]. :)
