Weird Coincidences.....

I had one yesterday, whilst working into work one of the guys on Reception said to me "I had a dream about you last night, are you going to be moving to Chicago soon?"

Which is pretty random, but not as random as the fact I spent the previous evening in bed reading quite extensively about Meigs Field, which is an airport on lake Michigan, Chicago, in fact, I fell asleep whilst reading the book.

To me that's quite a mental coincidence. Anyone else?

Wow, some amazing coincidences here!
This is not mine but a friends. I was friends with someone whilst at secondary school. We weren't close after school finished but would say hello and chat if we saw each other out and about. Fast forward 20 years later, my dd is at the same secondary school we went to and made a new friend and was invited around to their house. It turns out it was the house my friend had lived in when I knew her (small village just outside of our city). Not only that, but the new owners have the exact same surname as her now married name, and its not a common surname either!

I have one of those amazingly timed music ones.

DD1 was moving to live in the US. On the morning of her departure, as we were literally about to leave the house, Radio 2 played America & then Leaving on a Jet Plane.

I was expecting a parcel today, well, I'd forgot about it actually, then about half an hour ago it popped into my mind, less than 5 seconds later the door knocks, said parcel delivery Shock

I was paying for my petrol and suddenly decided to buy a lottery ticket as well. I counted my change before leaving the kiosk and was £1 over. Went back to the till and told the assistant he'd given me a pound too much change. He said how unusual it was for someone to be so honest, so I said that if I hadn't been honest and had kept the £1 I wouldn't win anything on the lottery. He looked at me as though I was crazy and told me there wasn't much chance of that happening anyway.

That night I won £75 on the lottery. He was amazed when I went in the next day and told him.

Waiting for the loo in a supermarket in a holiday destination (not on holiday, live here). Got talking to chap waiting for his wife. Turns out they were on holiday from South of France. Small village. Long Story short, the night before they left, they'd had my mother over for dinner, as they did every month as part of an artists group. I'd never seen this couple in my life before!
