There is this thing people do where we kind of forget we had the same thought pattern previously. To semi-diagram:
Day 24: A walks into bathroom, goes "brrrr", leaves bathroom, jokes about temperature.
Day 35: A walks into bathroom, goes "brrr", leaves bathroom, jokes about temperature.
It may be the strength of the inciting experience making us not remember the last times we went through this loop. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure there's a thing one can say that overcomes this tendency, unless it is a (usually distressingly) memorable comment.
Other options:
no subject
