• I once cold-called a friend I hadn’t heard from in 10 years. It was busy. I called again a few seconds later. His first words to me: “I just called you! It was busy.” We had not spoken in years and yet cold called each other within the same ~10 seconds. It wasn’t for any particular reason either. Just pure coincidence. Noneerror / Reddit
• I was the brokest I have ever been living in the middle of nowhere. I was pulling my last 20 dollars out of a gas station ATM. I hit the button, and it spit out 60 dollars. I was only charged 20 on my account. It sounds like such a tall tale, but I swear it happened. lookssharp / Reddit
• I tripped and fell at the same corner outside of the subway, 3 different times, years apart, and the same guy tried to catch me every single time. ouchrobbie / Reddit
• Started college. Saw my brother’s best friend on campus, from a distance. Hard to miss: Nate’s 6’6″, skinny, long brown hair. Fitting of our childish friendship, I straight up open-field tackle the guy. From behind. Blindsided. It’s not Nate. I apologize, and sheepishly run away. 3 hours later, a girlfriend from high school introduces her new boyfriend to a group of us. It’s the guy I tackled. Danny. Super nice (and forgiving) guy. We’ve been friends for 15 years. The_amazing_T / Reddit

• I had a pet humming bird as a kid. My mom found it injured on a sidewalk and nursed it back to health. We’d let it buzz around the room, land on us, and all that jazz. My brother told his teacher about it (in 3rd grade) and the teacher actually called my mom and was like, “Your son has made up a crazy story and insists it’s real.” Reality was we had a pet humming bird and that seemed crazy enough that people didn’t believe it. seanzorio / Reddit
• I knew a guy at my old job, Sean we’ll call him. I wouldn’t call us friends but more work acquaintances. Really cool dude though and we would chat every time we ran into each other. This went on for about 6 months. One morning I saw him in the foyer of our building and walked up to him and struck up our usual friendly conversation. Sean looked at me like I was crazy. Super standoffish, really awkward. I got a weird vibe, so I ended the conversation and walked away. I thought he was just having an off morning. A few days later I saw him again and he was his usual self. I decide to ask him if he was doing alright and mentioned our previous conversation. He had no idea what I was talking about. After a few more minutes he’s like, “Oh you must’ve met Scott, my identical twin!” His identical brother was visiting the office the week before from out of town and I saw him and not my buddy Sean, lol.

• I once checked in at a restaurant and gave the hostess my name to hold my slot, she then asked for my last name since the person below shared my first name. When I told her my last name, she looked at me like I was lying. The person below had my first and last name. She laughed and introduced us, and we took a pic. I’ve never met someone with my same first and last name since. ghperry / Reddit
• Back in middle school, I was walking back to class after lunch when someone chucked something down the hallway as hard as they could. My natural instinct was to jump up and catch it. It was a perfect catch and not a single person saw. It was a mozzarella stick. averylowe / Reddit

• A friend once called the wrong number, got the wrong house, and had the right person pick up. So, I was at work, replacing a modem for my boss. I’d removed the modem and connected a telephone to test that it had dial-tone. Soon after, the phone rang. When I picked up, the person on the other line just said, “Hey man, you want to see a movie later?” I recognized the voice too. It was a friend of mine. I was really confused for a second and said something like, “Josh? How did you get this number?” He said he called my home phone number. He called the wrong number, got the wrong house, and the right person picked up, on a phone that had only been connected for 2 minutes in the past 2 years. It’s just a weird coincidence that I’ll always remember. User1539 / Reddit
• I had a song in my head and turned my radio on — it was playing the same song from my head at the exact spot I was at in my head. It wasn’t a popular or recent song. I’ve never come to terms with that and it’s been 30 years. Agitated-Handle-7750 / Reddit
• My husband and I have an 11 year age gap, which now isn’t that big of a deal (35 & 46) but we’ve run into each other before. The weirdest run in was when I was 8 and at a friend’s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. It was a particular store in a smaller town. We all had fun and took a picture with an employee in the rat costume. Guess who worked at that Chuck E. Cheese and was the only employee who’d wear the suit? We also had the same locker in the same high school, just years apart. 1thruZero / Reddit

• I once threw a ball for my dog and it landed on his head, rolled perfectly down his spine and off his tail. CompetitiveAnxiety / Reddit
• When I was a kid, probably 13 or so, I came home from school one day and I swung my key around on the lanyard and threw it at the door, because I was ninja fighting something invisible that’d be vulnerable to a single key on a string. The key actually hit the keyhole and just plopped in there. I was alone, so nobody would ever know that I actually was a ninja. Nobody has ever believed me, except my wife but she didn’t care at all. I don’t work as a ninja today. Unfortunately. Made-a-blade / Reddit
• Before my husband and I were married, we had been dating for a long while, I was watching Portlandia and BAM there’s my husband on screen. Dumbfounded, I called him and he casually said, “Oh yeah I forgot about that.” u****icorn / Reddit
• In college, I was walking to class and a thunderstorm hit, but I had just gotten a girlfriend and I was in the best mood of my life so I was just getting soaked and smiling from ear to ear. A guy walked by with an umbrella, I smiled at him, and said hi. He took down his umbrella and got soaked with me and we proceeded to talk about how moments like these are what makes life magical, if only we let ourselves experience them. 20 minute conversation later, the storm stopped and we went our separate ways. My new girlfriend, a cognitive science major, saw me and ran over to me. She said, “Why didn’t you call me??? You know Oliver Sacks is one of my heroes!” Me: “That was Oliver Sacks?” ThinkIGotHacked / Reddit
