There's nothing quite like a good old AskReddit thread that's filled with just the kind of crazy coincidences that can lead you to question the very fabric of reality. Life is far stranger than we regularly give it credit for. Maybe you've already experienced your own moment of synchronicity where things lined up in such a manner that it almost felt like the whole thing was planned all along by an unseen force.

    Font - 7 Awards This guy I went to grade school and high school with, an acquaintance at best. I've seen him in 5 different locations in different countries throughout the last 15 years. Disney World when I was a kid. Some beach bar in Thailand. The Bean in Chicago. A pub in Budapest. A library in San Jose, Costa Rica. We've become friends due our love of traveling, but neither of us post on social media and neither of us communicated with each other our plans to travel. We never talked outside

    Font - Ladycat1988 · 3d 1 Award I was crossing the street after leaving a store and had the strangest feeling I was going to break my ankle, so carefully avoided a vehicle coming my way.That evening I went to pick up Thai food, fell leaving the restaurant on less than a 4 inch step, and shattered my ankle to the point of needing surgery and after a year haven't fully healed.

    Font - scientistrock• 3d S 11 Awards My friend and I were on a road trip a few years ago and needed a place to stay. We both told each other we had a friend in the city we were going through, so we figured we'd be able to crash with one of them. Turns out our two friends were roommates and had both been telling each other that they had a friend coming to town soon. 5 Reply 4 11.9k 3 ...

    Font - Hobocop1984·3d 1 Award Several years ago I was at a coffee shop with some friends and one of them had an ipad, another friend went to unlock it and asked him what his 4 digit unlock code was, so I just blurted out 4 random digits pretending like I knew it, and it actually worked. I had never unlocked it before or knew of the same numbers being used for anything else, or his phone number, etc.

    Font - Leelluu • 3d I passed out after receiving a flu shot when I was 28. The nurse who helped me up kept asking if I wanted my mom. It seemed like a really weird thing to offer an adult woman - the option to have her mother phoned and brought in - so I was really confused and getting progressively more annoyed at her repeatedly asking... ...until my mom walked up to me. She had the appointment after mine to get vaccinated. The nurses assumed we had come together, but neither of us knew about t

Two twins who were given up for adoption at birth, given the same first name by their adoptive parents, took family vacations to the same beach, married women with the same name, divorced, their second wives' names were off by one letter, both served as volunteer sheriffs, both were into carpentry, both smoked the same brand cigarettes and drank the same brand beer.

    Font - kor_hookmaster · 3d 3 1 Award My wife and I were looking to hire a caterer for our wedding and when we met, my wife and her started talking about their lives a bit. Turns out they had both literally grown up on the same street, in a city of 10 million people, on the other side of the world. Both had left the city around a decade before immigrating to our current country. They knew the same people, had hung out at the same coffee place, attended the same church. They even used to grab mang

    Font - zengalan07 · 3d I watched a (4 number) lottery on TV when I was a child. After the first number coincided with my home's address, I quickly said the other three out loud before they were pulled, those other 3 numbers came up one after the other. My home address WAS the lottery numbers. I turned off the TV and went to bed after that. G Reply 138 3 ...

    Smile - fatality216 · 3d About 15 years ago or so I was playing Counter-Strike 1.6 and tried joining a password protected server with a few people in it. I typed in "yellow" for the password and it worked. First try. I'll never forget that. G Reply 4 242 3 ...

    Font - Adastra1018 • 3d I was playing hide and seek with my best friend at her house when a pipe burst in the basement. Her mom got the water turned off and went to call a plumber, but mistyped one digit and ended up calling my dad, who has the knowledge, skill and the tools for fixing and building just about everything. He came over and fixed it for free. G Reply 1 214 3 ...

    Rectangle - chooooooool• 3d 2 Awards One time, me and my dad were discussing his friend while out driving at night without many other cars on the road. As we were talking, we pulled up to a red light, and the car waiting in front was my dad's friend. He didn't even live close to there. G Reply 4 4.0k 3 ...
