Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You? (Closed)

My dad got into a car accident at the beach when he was in his 20s. A lifeguard was driving and waving goodbye to his coworkers then ran into my dad’s VW van. Fast forward 9 years: My dad and his best friend/coworker were talking about car accidents they had been in and my dad told the story of the accident at the beach. His friend paused then asked, “Was your van blue?” My dad replied, “Yeah! How did you know that? I haven’t owned that thing for years!” His friend answered, “I was the lifeguard.”

They remained best friends for life (another 30 years). You never know who you’re going to run into.

I have two!
1st- Late 90s-Living in Ohio, 26 y.o. Guy dating 22 y.o.girl from OH whose immediate family also lived there. We won tickets to Disney world. We went but didn’t tell her family because they hadn’t yet met me and wouldn’t have approved of us sharing a hotel room together. On the last of three in the parks, we were in Epcot when some big guy ran up and grabbed my (now wife) from behind. It was her older brother! They (he and his GF) went down to FL to fish and on their last day, decided to go to Disney. Because he’s a big ole science guy, Epcot was more desirable. Again, they had no idea that we were there. I think we parted with me saying it was nice to meet them and her saying don’t tell her parents that her boyfriend was there with her.
2nd-Late 70s-King’s Dominion,VA (theme park)-8 y.o. old me and my family (living in VA) were walking through the park when a big guy grabs my mom from behind. It was her older brother from L.A. who was at the park for a day conference and was walking through before he flew back home that evening.

So, in Disney Springs they have a store where you can make your own lego figure. (Their shirt, at least. Then you can pick the hair and stuff from a bin.) They have a TV that shows who's legos are being made, and so I saw the names Will and Meg (My parent's names are William and Megumi). I asked my mom if she had made legos for the two of them, and she said no. I showed her the board and stuff. The Will and Meg were right by each other and everything.

This is my second Slovakia-related story. Again, I used to teach English there and a couple of years later I worked at a summer school in Spain. I was going with a colleague to pick up another new teacher and I saw his CV in the car. He worked for the same company that I had and after seeing which city he was based in, I thought about who I knew from there.
We picked him up and I said I'd seen where he worked, but didn't let on that I had, too. I asked him "So how's Liz?" He looked at me and said "It's a small world." It turned out that they were also in a relationship.

Me and my best friend have the same middle name. We each have one older sister named Lily, and one younger sister named Maddison. Our mom's names both are Angelica, and our dad's names are Ryan.(They also have the same middle name, Evie and Bruce.) Our cousins are each 6 years old and have the same birthday. Both named Jane. My grandmothers maiden name was Greene, so was hers (But we are not related.) And we each have different friends named Alexandra Ray who were born on the same day. And a Golden Retriever named butterscotch born in June, 1 day apart. Which is how many days apart our birthdays are. And our aunts both live on the sam street in California.

So me and my BFF have nearly identical families.

I sometimes have dreams involving people that I know, but wouldn't feature in my everyday life. For example, an old classmate (I left school 22yrs ago and moved cities), or a client from a previous job (again, in another city). The following day, that person would appear in real life.

Of course it freaks me out but I just have to accept it's coincidence, despite happening at least 4 times.

Had a dream about a tornado hitting my school.

Few days later, a tornado hit my town.

I had a dream that I was in Italy with my husband and we were desperate to leave because mount Etna erupted. Our flight was canceled and I was so scared. The next morning I found out on the news that Etna erupted and the Catania airport was closed. I've never been to Italy.

Playing in my grandmothers back yard on vacation in England where all of our family live. (My immediate family and I live in California). A pretty white butterfly came and actually landed on my shoulder I was totally amazed and after it flew off I ran inside to tell my mom, turns out my great grandmother had died an hour earlier. I was seven at the time and this has happened several times since. I’ll see a white butterfly and learn someone I knew has died. It’s a little freaky.

When I went to Vietnam to adopt my infant daughter in October 2002, I brought my best friend with me, who'd recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The doctors told her that it was slow-moving, so if she wanted to have another baby before they performed a hysterectomy, she had until about Jan. 2003 to get pregnant. My daughter's final adoption day (also knows as "Gotcha Day") was October 9, 2002; my best friend had her last baby on October 9, 2003.

Sometimes i will have these extremly wierd daydreams and then later jasmine will be like "I have a new book idea!" and it will be my dream. We also have the same creepy monsters in our nightmares: actually you don't want to know our nightmares. Don't you?

There was a guy I liked in 6th grade but we never ended up together. We lost touch in middle school (except for a few basic hallway conversations) and i forced myself to get over it assuming i'd never get to be his friend again. Two years later the third day of high school I stop to talk to a friend, and a couple of minutes later he walks up. As it turns out he always meets them there every morning. He asked me out a week later and we started dating.

Me and my mom were listning to spotify turned it off and the same song was on the radio

So my Great Uncle is black and when he was about to meet my Great Grandfather for the first time he was really worried about that because my Great Grandfather was a republican, and my Uncle didn't know how he'd react to his daughter dating a black man. Then, as soon as my Great Grandfather opened the door, they both started laughing because they were wearing the same new tie. :)

My classmate told me someone in the class will die in year 2012. He died in December 12th 2012 from motorcycle accident

Went on a vacation to the Carribbean, with my bf, who was born in Germany ( later important). 1st morning went to a café, sitting outside. There was a couple later on the second day, who moved closer to us on the beach,for more shadow. We started speaking, went in trips together, and found out,the couple was from the same place as my bf, also found a sticker with the region's name ( where they were from) on the peak of the volcano on the island, on a wooden sign) and later I saw among my pics taken at the beach that I photographed the couple before we knew them and they found a picture that they took of us, when we were having breakfast on our first day( just cause I was feeding a stray dog & cat & a chicken). We've been friends since.
Also on that trip, met an Italian guy, who went with scholarship abroad, to my hometown ( I moved 8 years prior) and just took a vacation, flying to the island directly from uni.
The world is a small place. 😃

I used to live in a house with my brother & cousin before she got married. We were uni students trying to save money so furnitures were donated from relatives or picked up from local hard waste that people put out on their front lawn so council can collect them.
One day cousin rang me to rush home because one of our neighbours threw out a huge flatscreen TV & we didn’t have any. I came home a couple of hours later & the TV was gone.
Fast forward 5 years later to now, found out that my partner used to live on the same road, he saw that very same TV & picked it up before I got home. Can’t believe how close we almost met 5 years ago.

When I was a teenager, I was in a badminton club. There was another girl there I played with whenever my friends couldn't make it (Vanessa).

During summer vacation that year, my parents took me to Bavaria (I'm from Hamburg, Germany). That's like nearly across the whole country. One day, we went shopping at an adidas warehouse sale. I was just looking at some t-shirts when I noticed a girl at the other side of the clothes rack. I looked at her and thought "Wow, she looks exactly like Vanessa". Then she looked up at me and looked like she just had the exact same thought. It was actually her!

Same day, same time, same location, more than 600 km away from home! Never forgot that crazy coincidence.

When I was a kid, me and a friend of mine were begging our parents for icecream after dinner. The grownups were watching the (national) news on television and said "no". Because of the warm weather that day, the news was showing footage of people visiting the beach (which is on the other side of the country) that day, including people eating icecream. Without really looking, I pointed at the TV and said "those children are getting icecream from their parents though!". At that moment I noticed, the children on the TV, eating icecream, were my cousin and cousins, together with my oncle and aunt. Apperently they visited the beach that day and got filmed.

Once I left a football game and was hungry for food. I went to our abandoned tailgate and there on the grill was a hot dog someone had left, now perfectly cooked and plump, which I dubbed The Miracle Hot Dog. The next year, my friend and I were walking back from the beach at 1 a.m. after NYE fireworks and I was telling her the story of the Miracle Hot Dog, since we were both hungry for hot dogs. On our walk back, some family was selling hot dogs out of their driveway as a fundraiser!! At 1 a.m.!! Miracle Hot Dog, part 2!!
