Weird coincidences. Please shate yours.

[malificent7]

I find it really strange that the codefendant of the tech billionaire that is missing from the yacht in Sicily was killed in a road accident on the same day in a different country. Two totally different accidents. Both were aquiited of fraud and involved in the same case. Totally bizarre.

On a more personsl note a met someone from my year at school at a remote waterfall in Nepal about 20 years ago.

Please share your stories.

I was sat in sand dunes sifting through sand once when I was around 14 and I thought "wouldn't it be amazing to find a diamond ring in the sand". I then almost immediately found not a diamond ring but a silver one. I always thought that was weird! I don't have it now, it got lost over the years

Yesterday, I sat on a bench because I was in pain. There was already a lady sat on the other end. We got chatting.

This lady was the same age as me, had the same issue with the same lumber numbers, was under the same consultants as me at both the local pain clinic and a hospital about 70 miles away and we go the same hairdresser even though we live 10 miles apart 😆

There was a signal failure on the railway, which had the usual knock-on effect of loads of cancelled trains.

People were being advised to share cabs, so i got in the nearest one, and asked the passenger which way he was headed.

To my street, as it turned out!

My road is about 2 miles long, so most of the neighbours only know their closest 'bit'.

My mum was moved from London to another city miles away . She was talking to someone and saying how forgetful she was but she never forgot her old phone number in London . She reeled the number off . Lady she was speaking to said that was my old number . They’d lived in the same flat !

on honeymoon in koh samui i said would it be weird if we meet someone we know.
literally two seconds later bumped into people from our hometown …

as my father died I played him some music . A year later I’d just given birth and as the midwife left the room the song I’d played dad was playing on the radio …

She meant astrological signs. Horoscopes are based on the exact time/place of birth.

I'm guessing it's an autocorrect for gasto pub.

Yet autocorrect didn't kick in for the asolod front door up thread!

When I was 11, my dad sold our family home to an Iranian man who had just emigrated to the UK. Never saw him or had any contact with the buyer after that. Fast forward to when I was in my late 20s, living in student accommodation and I started going out with the mechanic who worked in the garage two doors down from us. I ended up marrying him and we were astonished to find out later he was the nephew of the man who bought our house when I was 11.

Oo and another one I just thought of . Both my parents passed away . there’s a street about an hour from mine and both their old cars have been bought by different people on the same street ! So they’re often parked next to each other !

I had a lovely dog, a corgi, he was very sociable and a lot of my friends were very keen to look after him when I was away.

One day, some friends who knew my dog very well were at an art exhbition, in another city, in the south of the country.
They start talking with a random guy, and god knows why, they talk about dogs, and then corgis.

Then the random guy said "oh my friend looked after a corgi recently when I was visiting him" and he shows a photo of said corgi to my friends who said "wait, is this dog called O?" And yep it was my dog. The random guy was a friend of a friend who had my dog a few months back.

Another time, I was away again, a couple were looking after him, and one day, I received a selfie of a friend, with the couple, and my dog.
Turns out they were all friends (I didn't know that) and when my friend saw them coming with the dog he said "wait, I think I know this dog".

He really was a lovely dog ♥️

All my families birthdays are double the number of our birthdays so mine is 24th, mums is 12th, my brothers is 24th, my nans was 30th and daughter is 15th etc

First night I met my husband - walked me from pub to bus stop. Oh we are getting the same bus. 10 mins later, both press the bell 🤣turned out our parents houses were 5 mins from each other. We’d also been at a few events mutual friends etc.

We were talking about this yesterday. It's unbelievably weird, and given that they've both just been involved in a very complex fraud trial (and acquitted) it makes it even weirder, and ripe for a conspiracy theory.

The timing of these two awful tragedies is clearly just coincidence, but my God, what are the odds? If it were not for the fact that the yacht sinking was clearly caused by a freak weather phenomenon and the woman who very sadly hit the runner with her car is cooperating fully with police and it wasn't a hit and run, then there would be alarm bells all over this.

My sympathies are with the friends and families of all involved in both incidents.

I've had the same PIN for my bank card for over 30 years. I've been with my partner for 10 years and the PIN is his year of birth.

Also my car which I had up until recently, the registration number, first 2 letters of his first name, numbers then next two letters initials of his middle name and surname.

My first daughter is born on the first day of spring and my second daughter on the first day of summer (this year!) :)

Now that beyond a freaky coincidence 👀

I moved to wales from London. When my dad came to visit me he realised the house I lived in used to be owned by his gran and grandad and he’d spent a few summers there as a child.

My son was born on our first anniversary at 2.30pm , and at the same time we got married .

On our honeymoon in Austria many,many years ago, and met several couples in the same hotel. We had all married on the previous Saturday, but all lived in different parts of the Uk.
On holiday in Wales about 7 or 8 years later and went on a train trip. There was one of the couples sitting opposite us on the train!

Quick arithmetic so probably wrong: This will be true for 1,000 other mumsnet members in the UK alone.

I had an appointment at the fertility clinic in the hospital on 16th September 2019 at 13:45 after TTC for four years.

My son was born in the same hospital on 16th September 2020 at 13.40.

How do you mean?

On my maternal grandmother's first day at school she didn't like it so went to find her big sister.

The teacher let her stay in big sister's class and she sat next to a girl my grandma was convinced was 'Rose Red' from the fairy tale.

My grandmother grew up, moved to a different town, married and had three daughters.

Her eldest (my mum) met a man and started dating. That man is my dad, and his mother was 'Rose Red'.

I have loads, and coincidentally was just discussing with my dad last night!
Here's one: Went to uni in a city in the north of England. Moved home after graduating (South England), joined a local sports team at home and one of the women on the team went to my old uni. Turns out she also lived in the exact same rented house I did in uni city, the year before me, and was in her room the day we looked around (we know because she had locked her bedroom door as was revising and so we couldn't see her room!).

Too late to edit but just remembered also seeing my old best friend from primary school’s FB page (hadn’t see her for many years so was interested in seeing her page). She had two children (slightly older than mine) and one of them had the same unusual name as mine as well!

When I was a Nanny... The godmother of the little girl I looked after coincidentally lived in the flat above my sister in London...
