What Causes The Frequent Depletion Of Cooking Gas On Sunday ?

Nigerian residents often experience cooking gas depletion on Sundays, a particularly inconvenient time due to store closures.

Here’s why you frequently deplete your gas supply on Sundays:

1. You cook extensively on weekends

After a busy workweek, you have the opportunity to purchase ingredients, prepare meals, and stock your fridge with various soups and stews.

You may also host family and friends, requiring you to cook for a larger group. This increased cooking on weekends will naturally lead to your gas being depleted.

2. It runs out around the same time you refilled it.

If you top up your gas on a Sunday and maintain a similar cooking pace each week, you’re likely to run out of gas around the same time in the following month or months.

3. Murphy’s Law

The phenomenon of cooking gas depletion on Sundays illustrates Murphy’s Law, which states that anything that can go wrong will.

This principle is particularly evident when disruptions occur during critical moments, such as meal preparation for family gatherings or weekly planning.

4 The frequency illusion

Our perception significantly influences this situation. This is referred to as the frequency illusion or Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

It means that when an inconvenience occurs once, we are more prone to recall it and observe it happening again.

Running out of gas on a weekday may be a minor inconvenience, but Sunday depletion triggers greater frustration due to limited replacement options.
