    Font - misshepburn15 • 14h Husband and I visited our old hometown and went to a used book store we used to frequent. I picked up a familiar title in nostalgia and flipped it open to find a school student's ID card. The name and photo on the ID? My husband.

    Font - michellelmybell. 15h I saw an ad on a Pepsi case at a grocery store for a text to win contest to see Beyoncé in concert. I figured why not, and sent a text and was entered.

    Font - Weedhopper 24 • 17h Hit by lightning. Sort of.. indirectly. Lightning hit a tree near the wellhead while I was doing dishes. Exploded the tree, fried the well and gave me a jolt that made my metal fillings so hot they burned my tongue. Other than that, I was fine.

    Font - misterdudebro. 16h 1 Award I was on a road trip with my cousins in the 80s. One of them kept playing the same song over and over by rewinding the tape and playing it again. The song was "another one bites the dust". After three plays in a row the driver pulls out the tape, says enough! And turned on the radio... Sure enough that song was playing on the radio right then.

    Font - JamieLee0484 - 16h While attempting to get medical treatment, the dr.s office ran a pharmacy report on my medical history and prescriptions. My terminally ill brother, whose full name was only 2 letters different from mine and we had the same address and phone number, was on a shitload of narcotics at the time and through their search they pulled up HIS report and thought it was mine.
