The story about the old couple and the American dude really warmed my heart
We the Portuguese are nice 😉 come visit our country, it's beautiful, not expensive and you'll be well received 🤗
I thought they were his grandparents
Legit shed a few tears on that one. I'm a softie.
I was watching a horror movie and the power went out in the movie and then my power went out too. I shit a brick and ran into my moms room. I was 15
Omg lol thats freaky
RUN
Orion Smith thats lame
Shit a brick?
OMG that’s so scary!! I would have shit my pants
Imagine someone you never met before talks about how they saw someone almost die
And then you’re like: “HEY, that’s me!”
How awkward would that be
Akward? Or awesome?
Everytime I go to work. I see the same people in the same clothes with same nasty ass attitudes
Truman show perhaps?
Homeless?
Minimum wage fast food perhaps or perhaps a desk job?
You are cute
Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Had the same people sit next to me in 3 exams (randomly seated each time, different seeds). Class of 1400...
I had it the other way. I picked a seat card and the teacher accused me of looking into the bag. So it put it back and he mixed all cards up again. I of course told him I did not, he smiled and told me that I would for sure get a better seat anyway. I pulled out the same number again. We both bursted out in lough, there were at least 80 cards in the bag.
@@wernerderchamp yours is much more likely though (no offense to your story, it's still cool)
@@YT7mc It's still only a 0.015625% chance though
and if TheLukius21 is referring to 2 people (left and right) then the chance is only 0.0000000000000000000000000048712591578% (1/(1400*1399*1398))^3
if there is a person in front and behind they are also referring to then the chance is 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000065674346814% (1/(1400*1399*1398*1397*1396))^3
(yes of course I used a calculator)
@@thezen9 you can't actually calculate the probability of the TheLukius21 problem because you don't have enough information. If I read your math correctly for the first problem (2 people left and right) - which I may very well not have - it assumes he is sitting in a circle (single file). He almost certainly wasn't, as no exams I have ever seen do this. The reason he would need to be in a circle is that if he were on the far left/right then there wouldn't be people left/right of him. As to the second problem if he were in the front or back the same thing would occur. You would need to know the exact lay out of the seats to calculate, and also remember that not everyone is in the same classroom. Later I'll do the math on it, right now I'm on mobile and don't have the means to.
TL;DR Math hard, not enough info, I'll figure it out later. And what I said earlier is still true.

That’s so cool
I swear this girl in my class is my long lost sister. She had a sister two years older than her that died, I had a sister two years younger that died and we have practically everything in common.
I suppose it could just be a coincidence, but what if...?
You should look into it out of curiosity! But it's possible that it is a coincidence!

My friend once told me "I'll give you 50 bucks if theese two dice hit 4 and 6" He role them and get thoose two dice, we burst out laughing. Then he says "alright alrigt if they hit 3 and 5 now, I'll give you a 100" Guess what, he fucking hit it again. Probably possible to calculate the probability, but am too lazy.

I moved from Bosnia to Germany 5 years ago, at the age of 15, and my best friend from then on was a turkish boy that I met in my class.
As we became more friends we started to talk about or families and such. Once I was at his place I was talking with his mother about Bosnia Turkey and such, and I mentioned to her that my great great great great grandfather (like my grandfather fron 200 years ago) was from Croatia (Varaždin, a city near Slovenia), but he fled to Bosnia after killing a ottoman (turkish) general when they were occupating his city.. His mom told me that her great great great grandfather from his mothers side was a ottoman general, and he was killed in the Varaždin around the same time by a croatian man who was never caught...
My great great great grandfather killed my best friends great great great great grandfather..
Now let that sink in, they moved in the 1960s from Turkey to Germany, and we moved in 2014 from Bosnia to Germany, to the same city, same class, and we became best friends
Cool story
Except.. the balkans will be crap if all the good people move out of the balkans.. there is at least like 100 professionals are their jobs leaving their country to go to germany from the balkans

I remember once I was with 3 friends during a pretty bad thunderstorm and I told them to stop and look at me and I paused for a second and clapped really loud and the power then went out a second after...and then there was a 3 second pause of silence and shock and then one of my other friends ripped the fattest and loudest farts I've ever heard to this day and we all almost pissed ourselves laughing. We still talk about that to this day.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I craved orange popsicles. We were so poor, my husband took some change to buy me some popsicles. Every single popsicle was orange!!

One time in when I was a freshman in high school about a 2 and a half years ago I was in a class and sneezed at the EXACT same time as someone else in a different spot in the room, I was on the side and he was in the center, and it went from a talkative room to quiet then everyone asking what that sound was but we didn't notice bc since we sneezed we didn't hear the other and I only realized we both sneezed at the same time when someone else said I think they sneezed at the same time

Yesss mine too. Its so cute
Wow, that was incredibly wholesome....

I built an onsite IT business in a large American metropolis. Some clients were wealthy homeowners, and all my clients came to me via word-of-mouth. About 8 years in, I was referred to a new client that lived right next door to another client. Thing is, these clients came off of different referral branches that were in no way connected to each other. Just pure coincidence.
Once at an arcade, I won the 1000 ticket jackpot on the pirate wheel, and this guy came up to me and started talking about something on the machine that we disagreed about, so instead of walking away like I would’ve done after the tickets counted up, I spun the wheel to show him what I meant. I won the 1000 ticket jackpot again
You must run this whole simulation called life. What is the cheat code for +420 luck?
Living in Dallas at the time. Met a beautiful girl who had just moved to the city from out in the sticks 100 miles away. I asked her out. She goes out with me, and the date is horrible. She was biatch the total evening. Turns out her mother had encourage her to go out with me as a way to make friends in the new city. I took her home early, and forgot about it.
On a road trip four months later, I stopped at a mall in a city about 3 hours away to buy a CD. I met a beautiful girl in the store. I asked her to lunch. We were having a good time, though she was still a little reserved. She told me where she was from originally. It's the same town as the first girl. I told her that I know a girl named so-and-so from there. Her body stiffened and the color drained out of her face as soon as I mentioned the first girl's name. Turns out the first girl was this girl's arch enemy, and the reason this girl had moved so far away to where she now lived.
That was that. Whatever interest she might have had for me evaporated. She beat a hasty retreat back to her store. It was the damndest coincidence.
First girl ended up becoming a stripper.
Whenever someone asks my math teacher “I have a question” or raises their hand sometimes he will just yell “14!!” or any other number then the kid just looks all confused and he’ll just say “Someday that’ll work”
It's not that crazy but I still think it was very funny.
My friend and I went on a flight from Vienna to Amsterdam yesterday. First we booked a direct flight but they changed it so that we had to take a plane to Zürich, Switzerland and then go to Amsterdam from there. Anyway, we met a nice dutch gentleman on the bus in Vienna, who was supposed to fly to Zürich as well. We had a small chat and thought that was it. Then we got reunited at the airport in Zürich right in front of the gate for the flight going to Amsterdam. We chatted again, then said goodbye etc.
We ended up sitting next to him on the plane to Amsterdam. We booked the seatnumbers ahead of time, he got placed there randomly. We thought it was hilarious.
Ain’t no coincidence here! Y’all not slick lol.

I called the amazon rainforest being set on fire by people

And I rolled all 5 dice at the same time

The chance of that happening is 1/7776
The power outage one reminded me of the time when the power was out for 3 days in the entire region, spanning multiple cities, by the third day I was getting a little annoyed so I made a joke and was like I’m gonna clap and then the power will come back on, then I clap and at that instant all the lights came on, and that was one of the most incredible coincidences in my life, because of how large the area it was and how long the power outage lasted and the timing of my clap the odds of it happening would be around 1 in 2.5 million.
For Spring Break, me and my friend both went to Washington DC though had no idea that we were both going there. I later met him in DC in one of the museums. Whats even crazier is we had the same plane tickets but didn't see each other. Still blows my mind.

Long, but 100% true story:
I was walking with my bf at the time, and we went past his back porch on the way to the gate. It was mid-evening, so it was dark and the porch lights were on (there were four light bulbs in a row). Completely out of the blue and I still don't know why I did it, I turned my head in a weird mechanical way (I remember it feeling unnatural), looked at one of the bulbs, reached my hand in it's direction and said, "pwshh" like an exploding sound as I closed my hand. The light bulb exploded. My bf witnessed the whole thing and, shocked, said, "Did you just do that?" I was like, "I guess I did, haha," nervously joking. He stared and I said, "No of course not!" He said, "Then why did it explode right after you reached out and, like, crushed it with your hand? Did you do that with your mind?" I was wondering the same because that's exactly what it looked like I did, and it was hard to explain that's not what happened. I was like, "I really don't know, seriously, but it's just a coincidence. It just happened to be about to go out." He was like, "It didn't go out, it frickin exploded. That's not normal for light bulbs. But okay." He accepted the explanation because it couldn't really be explained.
About three weeks later the two of us are hanging out with a friend of his and decided to all walk down the street to get pizza. It was about the same time at night. We walked by the porch and the friend said, "You have a light out," and my bf says, "Yeah, she did that," and started saying I had magical powers. As we walk down the block my bf is telling the story to his friend. At the end of the story the friend said, "No way!" And bf said, "Yeah, she just reached out her hand, closed her fist and went 'pwshh' and she exploded it telekinetically. Show him!" I said, "Yeah," turned my head toward the front porch lights of one of the houses we were passing, reached out my hand, closed my fist and went, "pwshh."
One of the bulbs instantly exploded. The three of us stopped dead in our tracks. We stared incredulously at one another for a long moment, then bf says we better hurry up before I get in trouble for that. As we're super fast walking toward the pizza place my bf fast walks next to me and says, "Don't do that anymore, that's really bad."
TL/Dr: Made a crushing motion with my hand toward a light bulb and it exploded. Did exactly the same thing a few weeks later to a different light bulb in a different location, and it also exploded.
You have a superpower but its only the power to destroy Light bulb, only work on that One specific object
@@cantonnier @The.Frozt.One Idk, I've told this story several times and everyone seems to think it's like a manifestation of demonic influence working through an open channel or portal that I need to avoid the temptation to use. Also I can't "make it work" when I want, or I don't know how it works or what to do to make it work on purpose. I actually purposely tried doing it like 5 or 6 extra times after the second bulb exploded, but it didn't work except once, so I've only done it a total of roughly 3 out of 10 times. The only thing I could think of that was the same each time it worked was being completely clear minded, relaxed, and kind of unconcerned if it didn't work, and/or "knowing" it would happen without really thinking about it, it's hard to explain. Like I'd seen it happen in a movie before and I was watching the movie again and so I just "knew" this was the part in the movie when the light bulb exploded.
@@thedeejaeebee5babee wait so you're saying you've done it a third time while experimenting?
@@MrFlameRad Yes, only once out of a bunch more times. It was so passive. It seemed like the more I concentrated or "tried", the less it felt like it was working. It was like a complete disconnect. Once only did I barely think about it like I was trying to fool myself (or my own mind) completely zoning out and thinking about something completely different did it work, and I'd turned my mind so much against that specific thought that when it actually happened that one time it was much more personally frustrating than anything else, like it was mocking me at that point. It was in a parking lot late at night and I was very tired, in a bad mood and alone. I just looked over at this row of lights (it was a strung up bunch of lights around an empty lot - like it was being taken down after being a temporary pumpkin patch or Xmas tree lot or something) and as a completely stray and spontaneous almost "afterthought" I did it and one of the bulbs kind of cracked and smoked a little but I'm not even sure if it went out. That's not the only time I've "made something happen" that way - it's exhausting and very upsetting and draining though.
Di Di Bee It’s like people who bend spoons or objects with their mind.. as what you would call “Magic”, it’s just mind power... people are born with different abilities and “gifts” based on past merits in previous lives and such... people like yourself just don’t know how to control like you explain in this incident.. (idk what you believe in religiously and such) ...as a Buddhist like meditation and such, can increase your mind power and help anyone concentrate overall..unlocking “knowledge” or undiscovered science of “magic” with enlightenment if achieved like Buddha..but also meditation overall no matter how little can help if done enough...idk what people are saying about “demons” and such...but maybe spiritual in a sense...it’s maybe not wise trying to do this if you don’t have it fully under control or know what causes it.... just remember according to science Humans only use 10% of our brain’s potential, Einstein used like 30%..so you can see in retrospect how much mind power Humans can do
I have a really similar story to 11:01
In my year 2 French class we were watching the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Just as a joke, I said to my friend that I was sitting next to, “Hey look there’s Belle!” (From beauty and the beast), as a joke because both stories are French. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw an Easter egg of Belle walking through the town reading her book
We were walking in Disney world and I see my friend from preschool (I was like 6 when this happened) so we said hi and parted ways.
Two days later he’s on the same airplane as me heading back to MN, but not only was he on the same plane he was sitting right behind me.

My father once sold a red car with a black hood when i was like 8, a few years forward I'm 11-12 we go to a theme park and we found the exact car out of 1000's of cars.. my dad walked over and checked the hood and number plate. It was the exact same one, and if that isnt enough of a coincidence we later ran into my father's best friend and his family inside the park.. AND EVEN ON TOP OF THAT, the ENTIRE country was raining except for the theme park (until it was like 6pm it did start raining, but nowhere close as bad as the rest of the country (the netherlands) )
Just started reading a book about a girl with epilepsy. One day later, I’m in the kitchen and I hear my parents talking about how my cousin was rushed to the ER because one side of her face was twitching. She got diagnosed with epilepsy. Not a good coincidence...
Mine is pretty tame in comparison. Once it was dark out i realized my cars parking lights were on. It's a new car for me so don't know where all the switches are and had no idea how to turn the lights off. Looked everywhere i could think of but had no idea why they were on or how to turn them off. Got out the owners manual which is huge. I've never seen a owners manual so thick. At least 500 pages (It's over an inch thick of very thin pages). I take it inside and randomly open it. It opens to the exact page that describes where the switch is. I go out and turn off the lights.

In music class we were playing 'guess who.' it was played with drums
a person (called the guesser) would leave the classroom, and the teacher would pick someone (Idk what it's called) that would come up with a drumming pattern for the whole class to play. Once the while class started to play, the guesser comes in and guesses who came up with the drumming pattern. The chosen person has to change the pattern every 10-30 seconds. The guesser has 4 guesses to find out the chosen person. NOW ONTO THE STORY:
The school year just started when this happened. One day, the teacher had chosen me to be the guesser. After the class started to play their drums, I went in (you can hear the drums right outside the door). I didn't know who to pick so I just picked the new kid. My classmates (including my teacher) stopped playing in shock. My teacher said "HOW DID YOU KNOW???". It took me a few seconds to realize that I've chosen the right person.

Dude OMG! So one day in hs my band director pulled me aside at the end of the period, told me he wanted to see me. Proceeded to go down to the band office after school thinking I was in trouble and literally just waited around for like 15 min with other band kids in the office while he talked to other teachers in the hall. Finally talked to him and he said he didn't know why, but he had a weird feeling to keep me after. Walked home via same exact route as I did every day, (lived like two blocks away from school at the time) but that day it was quiet af, like not a soul outside on my block. Middle of day, like 3:30pm, & like near summertime. Got inside my house and my brother ran at me asking if I was okay. Apparently there was a really violent gang shootout on our block in front of the house that lasted a while before the cars sped off not even 10 min ago. Still believe if my band director hadn't kept me after I would've been caught up in that. Suffice to say I started switching up my route home after that lol

I found a wallet I lost when I was a kid, like 12-13 it had my hunter safety card and some cash, assumed stolen. I was 19 and walking through the house I grew up in for the last time before basically being abandoned, it was empty, nothing was in the house at all. I opened a closet at the end of the hall and my wallet was there sitting on top of shelf. not really a coincidence, just weird, especially if it sat on that shelf for all those years. Mind you when I was 15 I left my family to go out on my own. I came back to town when I was 19 and sort of broke in to the house because nobody was there. I knew no one lived there anymore and it was abandoned... so weird.
My current science teacher said that once he was in tram, and he saw that someone next to him is doing science, but he said he was so asleep that he just looked and noticed "oh this kid is doing science" but for some reason didnt even looked at the kid to see if she goes to school he teaches in.
fast forward to lesson:
he checks the homework and is getting deja-vu, and then it hits him, and tells to the kid:
-You were doing this homework today in a tram
-How did you know?!
-I know everything

For the past 15 years my family and I have been going to the same holiday spot. It’s a small town on the coast with nothing but two general stores, a bowling club and a caravan park. Turns out my girlfriends family has also been going there for just as long. We had never met or seen each other till 2 years ago. We must of walked past each other so many times without realising it. The first time we did meet I was completely naked, nothing like a first impression. I didn’t see her again till the following year. Following year comes and we get talking and that’s how we realised we have been holidaying together for years without even knowing it. Kinda funny how I never saw considering she’s beautiful. 😁
Back when "dabbing" first became a viral thing on the internet. My best friend and I were stoned out of our minds and just eating nachos in my kitchen in absolute silence. We had been eating in complete silence for a solid 5 minutes when we both all of a sudden just dabbed at the exact same time. None of us had ever dabbed before. We had never talked about dabbing to each other. I remember just standing there in shock and her gasping dramatically before we broke down laughing. Idk what happened there or why we had the sudden urge to do a move we had never done before? I still laugh about it haha
My dad dropped out of college because of a bad break up. When my dad went back to college a few years later and met my mom there. My dad’s best friend was engaged to my mother’s sister while my dad was in college the first time . They never got married because things didn’t work out. But if my aunt and my dad’s best friend *did* get married, and my dad never dropped out of college, my parents could still have met, but my mom would’ve been in high school.
Edit: Is this a coincidence?
I have *no* idea.
I’m just ...... confused
Sounds like the universe wanted them together to have you, i believe in stuff like that. Or you just live in a small town lol

My mom and I were on a road trip in southwest Colorado. We stop in a small town (500 people population) to get some dinner. The tables are full so we sit at the bar, which is not something we would usually have done. We chat it up with this awesome bartender, as the night goes on it becomes apparent that this man is also from south Chicago and went to a different high school as my mom (they were the same age). And that during one football game between the two high schools they had kissed. This meet-up happened nearly 25 years later in a small town across the country in a restaurant we just stopped in because the other one was closed.
That last one? Straight out of Mary poppins
Us Portuguese really hold our family values tightly. It doesn't matter if you only came by once in 18 years, you're in their hearts now my brother!
My mum took my sister and I to Disney world in Orlando when we were in primary school (about 2005) . (necessary backstory) we moved from Sydney, Australia to QLD in 2000 where my sister had this really close friend who we never kept in contact with.
We were on the pirates of the Caribbean ride when all of a sudden a random kid yelled out my sister name from the restaurant in the middle of the ride.
Sure enough, 5 years apart and in a country on the other side of the planet a little girl recognised another little girl who just happened to be on a ride she happened to look at the right time.
We met up after the ride but it was their last day there. And they didn’t talk to each other again til they were over 18 after finding each other on FB

I have a drag brand of a raven on my chest. At a edm festival in the woods, a girl I was hanging out with was asking questions about my connection with ravens, if they would listen to me, things like that.

this may not be such a big coincidence but me and my friend were in the same class and when a teacher asked a question for the whole class to answer we both said the excact same words at the same time, the weirdest thing about it is that it was like a whole paragraph and the whole class went like wtf, we didnt even talk to eachother to say it, just said it in an instant
When I moved school 6 years ago there was a girl who was a couple years older than me that sat and talked with me at lunch because I didnt have any friends yet. This happened for a while until she herself moved schools. Its 6 years later and I had been added to a random group chat on instagram of which i knew nobody and decided to stay. I would chat with them for hours a day and have been for a few months. Turns out one of the people I had been talking to for so long was the girl I talked to years ago and neither of us realised. Also I had since moved schools again and I had happened to move to the one she goes to and I wouldnt have seen her there if she hadn't been held back for an extra year.
This actually happened yesterday. I am a pianist and I love classical music. I was learning this song called "Maple Leaf Rag" and then I finished and then a notification from a channel that made a knockoff bee movie video and i watched it and then searched "bee movie knockoff" and found a video with the background music of maple leaf rag. Craziest thing ever.
The pooh bear kite story reminds me of when my mom had died and we had all left the burial grounds to go to a restaurant a whole city away. At the restaurant, all the kids got balloons. My son got a red balloon and he wrote, "granny" on it with a black marker. As we left the restaurant, the balloon got away and floated way up into the sky. 3 days later, walking to school, there's a deflated red balloon laying in the grass. We joked about what if it was the same balloon but walked on. Went back to pick him up from school that same afternoon and the balloon was still sitting there, we decided to pick it up and check it. It was the same balloon!!! This balloon floated back from another city and rested in the grass on the way to my son's school!
okay so something that happened to me was i was playing the video game Outlast... there was a part of the game when you find yourself in a security office and the guy that’s hunting you turns the power out... just as the power went out in the game, the power went out in my house, BUT just my house so i started crying and called my dad and had a fit. i was 17 when this happened. still ashamed that a 17 year old girl got so terrified of a video game she had to call her dad...
i was on the train home from a yankees game, and i met a boy named tristan. dads exchanged numbers, but we never had a "playdate" or anything like that. fast-forward maybe 2-3 years, i transferred schools in the middle of 1st grade. in my new class there was a boy named tristan, whom i weirdly recognized. first convo went down sorta like this
me: hi im wolfgang
tristan: cool i met a kid named wolfgang at a
yankees game one time
me: hol up
we became best friends and then i moved schools again in 3rd grade
parents still social media friends
That one with the old couple was the single most wholesome thing ever.
Coincidence? I think not.
Mystery? Maybe.
Hotel? Trivago.
I know 2 girls that are both twins.
What's the coincidence?
They were born September 11, 2001.
It's actually more ironic because twins were born when the twin towers came down.
My grandmother was paying insurance on my car as a birthday present. That car stopped working shortly after she died.
My high school chemistry teacher was taking a bus to New Mexico, and on the bus he hears someone call out his name and low to behold it was on of his student. Turns out they scheduled for the same flight as well. Another time he was walking down the streets of Austin, Texas on spring break vacation and passed by his student talking with her friends on the sidewalk. They acknowledged each other and just moved on without another word.
I grew up in a small rural English village. My brother moved to Thailand for work, and randomly met a guy we went to primary school with working as a bartender in Pattaya. 5800+ miles away from home on a planet with 7 billion people on it and he runs into someone he went to school with.
I was walking home one day from a particulary miserable day at highschool. I thought to myself "CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE". And right at that moment the sky began pouring rain
I live near Houston, Texas. While I was in Madrid during one Summer vacation, I walked right past people that lived in my neighborhood.
Those two cities are 5,000 miles apart. Walking right past people who live in the same neighborhood as you on the same day, same time as you in a city 5,000 miles away, what are the chances....
A friend of mine was born in the same room at the Hospital at the same time as another friend of mine.
And out of sheer coincidence they're parents put them in the same school. And they just found out and both were blown away by that coincidence
Me and my dad were messing around and saying "its like this and like that and this" then we turned on the radio and that exact part of that song came on
At the time I lived in a different part of the state than my parents and we both lived in a different part of the state from the airport 1 or 2 hours away in a triangle. One Sunday i was waiting in my car to quickly pick up my wife at the airport and take her home from a weekend trip to New York city and i see my dad get out of his car 2 in front of me. I was confused. He was picking up my mom from a trip to Las Vegas at the same exact 2 minute or so window in a large international airport with multiple places to pickup in another city for a trip neither of us knew we were going on.
This was several years ago. A lady and I had planned on participating in an evening volleyball game at a church. I agreed to pick her up on my way there. She gave me her house address, and I thought nothing of it until that evening when I pulled onto the street in her addition, and not only did all the houses look the same, but their address numbers weren't easily visible, if apparent at all!
I drove up and down the street a couple times and eventually gave up. I decided to just pull into one of the driveways, go up to one of the houses and ask if they knew this lady and which house might be hers. I mustered up some courage, because some people can be quite put off with visitors, especially at that time of day. As soon as I knocked on the door it opened, and it was her!! She must have thought I had the oddest look on my face, but when I told her what happened later she seemed nonplussed.
I was in the Dominican Republic and as we were leaving, we saw this guy in the elevator. My mom had a tag on her bag that said our district we lived in. This guy noticed and said “[district name]? I live in [district right next to mine]”. We just so happened to go on the same vacation, same resort, same days, and then we were on the same plane.
Watching a UGA game with my dad when I was younger, we had just gotten back from a commercial break and the camera panned over the packed stadium. I asked my dad, “how many people are in that stadium?” He says “I don’t know son,” immediately followed by the announcer saying that the attendance had broken the season record, and then him actually saying the number. 7 year old me thought I could talk to him through the TV so I kept asking questions for like 10 minutes
I work at a school as security. They did a principal for a day thing, and as part of her duties the girl who won was supposed to draw the names of the other Prize winners. So we let her draw the first name...it's her sister. We decide that looks seriously sketchy, so we let her draw again. It's her best friend. One more time? The child of one of the parents currently in the room. We gave the bowl to someone else and the names stopped reeking of nepotism and cronyism, even though they were completely drawn by chance.
One time I was using a psychedelic known as 4 ACO DMT. At one point I heard this same sentence over and over. I worked it over in my head trying to figure out where I heard it before. The next day, Facebook memories shows me a video I shared 3 years ago. The sentence I kept hearing in my head was from that video.
Saw my teacher in a DM store in Riga, Latvia during autumn break a few hours after turning in an essay to him from my hotel room. He said he'd never seen such a chocked face on a student before.
At my school, we have a keypad system where we have to put in a code to get in to the building. We were coming In from recess and my friend goes, “ hmm I’m just going to put in four random numbers.” It turns out that the door opened and he had guessed a completely random code with no idea what the code was. It was unbelievable
My grandmama lived in the same house for over 50 years.. my mom grew up there. My mom passed in Sept of 2011, my grandmama passed in July of 2017, my dad moved into her house. A year later, he sells it. I get a message from a friend from elementary school [one of those you add cuz you 'know' them, but never really talk to..] with a picture of a child's drawing, with my daughters name on it. (It's not a common name at ALL) And asked 'isn't this your daughters name?' Her brother had bought my grandmama's house & that was the ONLY thing that was left behind. If it had been one of my other kids' name on it, she probably wouldn't have put 2 and 2 together!
Once I was on a preaching and it was about God's personality. What was pretty intense was that at one point the preacher said "God has sensitive heart" and as soon as the sentence went out of his mouth, the power went down. A couple of minutes someone said that the entire city is experiencing a blackout. After about 20 minutes power went back and the preaching continued. Felt to me like God tried to make a point during that preaching.
Also in my church I quite often experience that I have a question about God to ask to the pastor but the pastor answers it in the preaching BEFORE I get a chance to talk to him.
And also I love chicken :D Especially the chicken breasts.
I moved away to San Francisco when i was younger, and then moved back to the original city i left from, met a guy who was pretty cool named Steven. We talked for a little bit, and it turns out that his parents bought our house when we moved out. Wild.
I once meet a friend in Europe. It was a small village with less than 200 people in it. We some how ran into each other on the same day at the same time and recognized each other. Neither of us live in Europe.
I once got a book from the public library and never finished reading it, returning it with my bookmark in between the pages. At the time, I didn't know. A few weeks later, I can't find the bookmark and think that it's somewhere in my room. Then I go to the library and pull the book out of the self again and flipped through it. My bookmark was still there.
I’ve watched so many reddit videos that I don’t even need to subscribe to the channels, all the videos just show up in my recommended
Ah bless that kite didn't come back to you, your dad bought you a new one.
Growing up me and my family (my mom, brother an I) moved around ALOT in new jersey for financial reasons. At one point we ended back in my family's home town. On my first day of school I met this skinny kid who also liked nerdy stuff. After school my mom and grandma asked me how was my first day at school and I told them "Oh yeah, it was nice. I made a friend named Sullivan(not his real name)" and they both stopped. And looked at me and said "Sullivan...?...ask him what his last name is"
Turns out, my new friend was the son of my mom's childhood friend. They figured it out because Sullivan was also my mom's childhood friend's name. There were so many public schools in my city so what were the odds of my family getting an apt near a school that their childhood friend's son attended.
We're still good friends
We were on a cruise and went on an excursion in Cozumel Mexico, everyone was split into smaller groups. Like 2 families per group. The other family we were with were from the same city, St. Louis Missouri. And somehow it got brought up the guy forgot to mail in something to his insurance agent. I have no clue how, but my uncle was his insurance agent. Super coincidence
My wife and I are Canadian, and two years ago we travelled to New Zealand. We were standing outside a winery on Waiheke Island waiting for the bus to take us to the next winery on the tour when I saw a man standing nearby wearing a Toronto Maple Leaf ball cap. I wandered over, introduced myself and we started chatting. It turns out that they were a group of three couples travelling together, and all of them lived within 5 miles of our house in Canada, with one of them just around the corner from us. Even better, it turned out that one of the women was the boss of our daughter-in-law at the local hospital. So, we freaked our daughter-in-law out by sending her a selfie of her in-laws standing with her boss on an island 9,000 miles from home.
OMG we have that exact same hamster picture on the fridge it was in some magazine few years ago as a wallpaper with text "Have a great day and be happy like this hamster" this is crazy
7:20 - What if someday, I live on the same house that the kids lived in before. That would be an insane coincidence
I was watching a movie with friends when I had to use the bathroom, so I casually stood up and exclaimed "Ok Time Out". Power goes off! Turns out at the exact same time a not so bright fella had clamped the sandwich maker cord in the sandwich maker.
I once warmed up my food in the microwave during a thunderstorm. The microwave would make a short "ding" sound from its speaker, once the timer ran out. Lightning struck and the lights went out, perfectly interrupting the ding. It was so satisfying.
