A rule that says when something weird happens, people always go for the stupidest, most ridiculous explanation, especially if it makes them feel like they're in a conspiracy or someone's messing with them.
My dog walked out of the house. My neighbor said it was a secret spy mission. I said it was just looking for a snack.
The coffee tasted like mud. My coworker said it was a plot. I said it was just bad coffee.
The lights flickered. My friend said it was a ghost. I said it was just a broken bulb.
