When I get ready to send a text message, sometimes I notice that the person to whom I want to send it is immediately preceded or followed in my phone book by someone who I would absolutely NOT want to receive that message. This same danger lurks in many filing systems and of course in the common "reply" and "reply all" email option.
The way I see it, there are two terms here waiting to be named:
-The incongruities provided by some items in proximity. Even the national weather listings in the newspaper can provide this feeling. Miami and Milwaukee, anyone?
-The fear, before, during or after the fact, that your action will be done to the nearby thing and not the intended recipient. Shivers!
