The Strange Coincidences Archive

i was walking during school in grade 6 to ask my best friend out. at the same time she was walking towards me. i paniced. she asked me out. it was strange. but its not my only coincidence. i have many more. but most forgotten.

I was watching “Confessions of a Teen Idol” on VH1 and they played a song I sort of liked at a certain point. I tried in vain to definitely lock down the name of the song on google but still wasn’t sure, so finally I got frustrated and right when I turn the TV on to see if maybe coincidently the episode is on and coincidently the exact part of the episode I was looking for plays in about two seconds. I know they run these subpar reality shows in heavy rotation so I guess it’s not that rare of this to happen but still pretty weird for it to be that exact.

One day when i was talking to a good friend of mine, she mentioned a guy that didnt get along with her cousin. Thinking nothing of it, we went out that night to a club. While dancing i spotted a face in the crowd that i had seen before on facebook and who had mutual friends with me.

A few days later i was going back to my apartment building when i spotted the guy from the club. Wanting to know who he was, i searched him again on facebook and striked up a conversation. Not only did he live opposite me on the same apartment floor, he was also the guy that my friend was speaking about (the guy who did not get along with her cousin).

I work on the road quite a bit, so when my colleagues and I go out for supper we always take turns buying beer. One night we were at a restauraunt and I picked up the drink tab and it came to $67.43. The next night we went to a totally different restauraunt and were drinkning different drinks, when we got the tab it was $67.43.

the small town i live in was evacuated due to a forest fire on May 5/ 1989. the same town was evacuated again on may 1/ 1999, 10 years later almost to the day. i’m wondering…will it happen again??

“She saw it too”
Unknowing to us, our Auntie Emily was dying from ovarian cancer. She didn’t tell us because she didn’t want us to worry. On the day of her funeral we dropped off our pre-schooler at daycare. We spoke very little to our child about death, she was only 3 and a half at the time. Anyway we left her at school and went on our way.
As I approached the casket with tears in my eyes, I recalled Auntie telling me that our baby would grow up to do great things. Red roses were placed in Auntie’s hands and I remembered the pastor’s comforting words. He said that Auntie was free of all pain and had passed over the Jordan River to be with God. I instantly felt relief.
After the homegoing service we headed to pick up our daughter. When I walked in the classroom a teacher approached me with a piece of folded paper. The teacher said our daughter had spent alot of time in the art area and had asked how to spell “God Knows”. You know how first learners make block figures? Keep in mind she’s NEVER seen or experienced death before. On the paper was a lady lying down in a box with red roses in her hands, behind the lady was a body of blue water! I was speechless! I explained to her teacher that somehow our child drew what we were experiencing. Our child is 18 years old now and she still has this picture. Coincidence, maybe, maybe not!

one day, i was texting my friend. she was going to go to sleep and told me to wake her up at about 1:00–1:30. so i just went through my day watching tv and such and then my alarm on my phone goes off at exactly 1:00! i didnt even set it.

This past Saturday, December 13, 2008, I was surfing the net and decided to google “coincidences”. I was on the computer for quite a while as I find this subject very interesting. While surfing, I found “9/11” coincidences so I checked it out. Again, I found the various number combinations of 9/11 somewhat interesting and then did the trick where you type in the capitals “Q33 NY” in a MS Word document and then enlarge to 26 and change the font to wingdings. (I won’t ruin it for you if you have not tried it). In any event,
I did this for a while and eventually got off the computer and did not think about it again.

Sunday came and went and today a few hours after I got to work I went down the hall to chat with a women I work with about her weekend etc. The conversation eventually turned to politics and that reminded the women of something her boyfriend had sceene on the internet this past Saturday. She proceeded to tell me that for no real reason at all on Saturday her boyfriend googled “Coincidences” on the computer and eventually looked up “9/11” Coincidences. I could not beleive it and I stopped her and said the word “wingding” she said oh you know about the 9/11 coincidinces? And, I said yes, because I looked them up for the first time this past Saturday!

I live about 40 minutes from Lake Berryessa in California. My husband and I go now and then with our boat (He fishes, I read). A few summers ago we went with our boat and while he got the boat ready, I went in and paid for the launching fee. As I walked up to the woman at the counter, before I could say anything, she looked me really confused and frustrated and said, “I told you that we don’t sell tents here!”. I looked at her and said that I did not need a tent and needed to pay the launch fee for our boat for the day. She got a little mad and asked why I had not told her we had a boat when I had come in a few minutes earlier and why I had needed camping equipment then if I was just there for the day. I told her that I hadn’t been in earlier and that we had just pulled into the parking lot. She basically was arguing with me that I had just been there, when of course I had not been. She looked me over like I was crazy and said “Whatever”. I paid for the fee and left feeling REALLY confused. I was even wearing a pink Raiders shirt and hair in a pony tail with a yellow jacket – not an outfit that is like white t-shirt and jeans and might be the same thing someone just there had been wearing. A few months earlier my whole family had gone camping at another part of Lake Berryessa. My grandparents, my husband and I were sitting on the edge of the water fishing when a boat came by. The man on the boat yelled to us asking if we were doing any good fishing. My grandpa responded that we were doing well and catching big fish. The man then said, “Well I believe you because I know Gene Robinson is a good man and wouldn’t lie. Have a good day.” We all looked at each other with jaws dropped – my grandpa’s name is Gene Robinson! My grandparents only camp there once a year at most on Thanksgiving so they are not well known people there. I yelled to the guy on the boat aking him how he knew his name and he yelled back really calmly and matter-of-factly, “Because I have ESP dear.” We have never figured either of these events out. Everytime we go to Berryessa something a little weird happens. It used to freak me out a little, but now I kind of expect it.

I was tinkering around with some of settings on my PC and I started singing a song. Strangely enough, the same song went on the radio at the exact same moment.
