I see what you're saying and I think that's called the Von Restorff effect, but I've deliberately focused on checking if this happens more often than not and it does. I haven't found an explanation yet, but you'd think it'd take about the same amount of time since the tasks are nearly identical in procedure (sending a package, using the ATM, using the hotel reception...). It's interesting.

Von Restorff effect

Hmm, a bit more specific than the observer bias but still not the exact thing. There's also the negativity bias but again...I feel like it's its own thing, hard to search for. Thanks though.
