What is the strangest coincidence you've ever experienced?

[kickly]

As above.

*1980 not 1970 - sigh!

I moved to a new city, called a number about renting a flat, the woman on the other end of the phone had the same accent as me. We realised we had been great pals in high school. I rented her flat for 6 months. She had been fucked over so many times for rent and me being there for 6 months and actually paying meant she had enough to renovate a little and sell the flat after i left.

Ten years later, same woman had moved back home. She contacted me on facebook to say she had received a letter she though was meant for my (dead) father, who had the same initials and surname as her and had lived 3 miles along the very rural road. She sent me the letter and it turned out to be his penion policy from the 80's. My brother and i have received letters today telling us we're getting a little pot of money each.

That happened to me once Twerp. That was spooky.

Another thing I find spooky is quite often my husband and I will suddenly start singing the same random lyrics from the same random song! There's no music playing or anything.

Rarely remember my dreams. Never dream about exs or family.
Last year had a week of really intense dreams about a long term ex. Nothing rude, just focused on him. Found out later he had died at that time. Young. Had no idea as no contact.
Dreamt about a family member, literally only dream I recall having about them. I woke up in absolute agony ( compare it to labour). Got a phone call to say they'd been rushed into hospital for emergency appendectomy.
I am woo free completely rational atheist, spooky nonetheless.

When I met my ex boyfriends parents, it turned out his dad was my window cleaner and his mum was my GCSE art teacher, when our parents both met each other it turned out our mums used to be neighbours when they were younger!

My Niece was born on Friday 13th. 13 days later my daughter was born at 13.13. Not too odd but she was also 13 weeks premature!

Not my coincidence, but an old uni friend's. He was hiking round the U.S. and had made his way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Met another hiker, struck up conversation - the new hiker said he'd left his girlfriend camping at the top of the canyon and invited my friend to join them. They made their way back up and the girlfriend was one of my friend's exes!

I was having coffee with my (then boyfriend) and I received an email from an ex who I was still friendly with. He had moved to the antipodes and had met a girl he was madly in love with, he included photos. The girl was my boyfriends ex girlfriend!

I lost touch with my best friend from primary school when I moved schools, even though we lived only 4 streets away from each other never bumped into each other. Fast forward a decade and my (at the time bf) was at the pub and rang me saying an old friend of yours says hi, couldn't remember her last name so didn't think any more of it. A year later I went to a friends house with bf and in walks best friend from yester years wearing the exact same outfit as me. 10 years later and we are still best friends.

Another one is found out I was pregnant on the anniversary of my daughters death, (born prem) was paranoid cos felt like the same pregnancy, found out we are having another girl on what would have been her due date.

I phoned a wrong number and got the person I was looking for!

I used their home telephone code and their work telephone number (or vice versa I can't remember) - and they were visiting their friend with that phone number!

My DD has the same two names of two children I was a mother's help for but with the youngest child as her first name so not age order. I didn't realise until she was about four

Sorry for multiple posts. Others posts are making me think of mine.

FIL then DS then Dh were born on conseqcutice months all in the same date. DS and dh did not come when due, DS not even in the month he was due.

Both my boys born on Mondays, again not due date.

I asked the librarian for a new pin code for the online library services for DD. She wrote it on a piece of paper for me and I just stuck it in my purse with the library card. A couple of weeks later I got it out to renew her books and it's the same as my debit card PIN number!! So for 2 weeks I've been carrying around a piece of paper in my purse with my pin code on!

DH and I were in city nearest to us buying my engagement ring, it needed to be adjusted so we went off for lunch. We were collecting it from the shop when in walked my exdh asking to see an engagement ring from the window - he was out shopping for a ring with OW !!!! Very weird!!!

Got another one...
Me, my daughter, my nieces and my sister all have birthdays that fall on 'special dates'.
Chinese new year, (on the year she was born) boxing day, valentines day, independence day and remembrance day.

Went out one Saturday night and pulled this bloke.

Monday morning I was doing one of my visits and the business owner had a picture of the fella on her wall. It was her husband

Dh and I had the same kind of flat in the same kind of building except his was upstairs.

We both had a pen friend in common and she wrote and told me stuff about him. When he and I met he confirmed it was all true.

VanillaRadio - yours about the bear made me tear up .

Was talking to someone at a bar in a casino once. He told me I looked lucky and asked what my favourite colour was. I told him Green, he then took me the roulette table and put $100 on zero (which is the only green number on the table. It only bloody buggery came in at zero! Seriously you couldn't make it up. He offered to give me half the winnings but I stupidly refused and just insisted he pay for my drinks all evening. In hindsight that was a mistake.

I have name changed as this outs me, DH bought me an eternity ring for my 40th (picked by me) and when I showed my DM she said oh that looks like your Grandma's engagement ring (GM died 10 years before I was born and I had never seen ring before)

I don't know if this counts, but...

I met DH on May 4th 2006.

DD was born May 4th 2007...almost to the hour!

I have a few!!
We went to Paris in July 2016. Sat in a cafe watching the World Cup final. Starting talking to a couple next to us and they used to live near us in Australia!!
My parents came to visit us in Australia. My dad went to watch the cricket one day. Started talking to the guy next to him who used to deliver my post in Plymouth!
Also when my parents were here , they went to stay in Bussleton for a couple of days. Next thing my dad hears is ' hello Jim , how are you?'. It was a young lad that had played cricket with him back in UK ( where my parents still live). My parents live in a very small village!!

on holiday in cornwall ,we originally from up north and bump into my daughters teacher lol

After my dad died, me and dsis were searching my dad's flat for useful documents.

My sister was talking about her friend from primary school, and asking if I remembered her (I didn't). The next document I picked up was an old notebook - empty except for two names and addresses written on the first page; my sister's and her childhood friend's, in childish handwriting.

Such an odd coincidence.

Made a friend at a baby group in Herts. Her godmother was close friends with my family in North London. My aunt and her mum were both godparents to one of the godmother's kids. Freaky.

I met my DP some time after going NC with my Dad. DP and I drove past my dad's old house one day, after we had been together about 18 months, and I pointed the house out.

My DP turned and said "Oh my god, your Dad is Brian?!". Turns out he'd been to the house as a child and remembered it and my dad well - DP's father and my father had been business partners
