What are the oddest coincidences you've experienced? Are there any that you find occur on a regular basis?

Answer 1

Oh God... where to being, where to end??

At least once a day I know exactly which song is going to be played on the radio next, usually a minute before it is played. I know everyone does that, but I do it so often that my friends and family get seriously freaked out by it. It's not because I listen to a regular radio station, I switch around so am not used to their playlists. I sometimes wonder if this is due to my bizarre picking up different frequencies? I can't think of any other sensible way to explain something that happens every day. Weird.

I'm discounting all the family/friend coincidences I have had because they are far too common and numerous to mention. You might find this one kinda nuts, but never mind. I'm not professing that it means anything whatsoever - my common sense tells me that it's not a big deal. It's just a little odd.

The night of November 30th, 2001, I was sat up until 6am, quietly revising for an exam. At around 3 o'clock or so, the song 'My Sweet Lord' got into my head out of nowhere and drove me potty, playing on loop repeatedly for hours. At 6ish I gave up and turned the TV on... to see that George Harrison had died that night. That was horrible. I also found out that he and I share the same birthday, which was cool. All in all, a bit strange.

A while back I started reading George's book 'I Me Mine'. At one point I put it down to do something, and when I came back found that the cat had knocked it off the couch. The book had fallen open at a random page. The page contained an image of handwritten song lyrics and the date he'd written it. The date was our shared birthday. The year on the page was the year I was born.

Very odd!

Answer 2

In 2004 I was in a remote & vey poor vilage in rural Brazil & experienced serious female problem. The nearest hospital was 100 km away & no transportation. Across the road from me was staying a Bulgarian gynaecologyst. He saved my life.
I live in Sydney, born in Bulgaria.

Coincidence? - I don't think so

Answer 3

When my husband and I bought our first home in Sterling Heights after getting married, the couple that we bought the house from had previously lived in the city of Ferndale on Breckenridge Street before moving to this house (4971 Duchess Dr. in Sterling Heights). Well, prior to me getting married, I, too, had lived on Breckenridge Street in Ferndale and now I was moving to 4971 Duchess Drive in Sterling Heights. I had never met this couple before. We had been neighbors. Talk about a small world!

Answer 4

I once went to Bristol (luckily I escaped alive) when I was a baby, then visited again when I was 18. I knew the names of roads I hadn't seen or heard of since I was 3 months old. I got seriously freaked out.

Answer 5

For me it is crows, the day my dad died I saw 6 of them sitting on a roof cawing at me, they flew off and right at me, When I walked back a few hours later there were still six of them, but now they were on the roof of my house. When I got home my mom told me the bad news.

Answer 6

When I was a little kid I prank called someone and ask for a John. They said, "yeah, hold on" and then they went to get some guy named John. I was only trying to pull a stupid prank call. I ended up just hanging up the phone.
