my grandmother had a really good friend when she was in elementary school in china. she came to america with my parents. around 10 years ago my parents made friends with some other chinese people. the other chinese family's mother was the friend that my grandmother went to school with. more than 60 or so years without contact, and they met up again

my dad once saw a really close family friend in the san francisco airport, completely coincidental

my dad once saw one of his buddies in an airport in japan, again completely coincidental

me and my bro and a few friends went to stratton in november and we parked right next to my bro's friend from syracuse, without knowing he was coming

i went to wachusett a few weeks ago and parked right next to 2 friends from my school, i had no idea they were coming
 
oh. and i got another, about birthdays

my brother's birthday is may 8, 1989. my friend's brother's birthday is may 8, 1989, the same exact day. my friend's birthday is april 2, 1992 (today). my birthday is april 3, 1992 (tomorrow!) we go to the same school and are pretty good buds
 
we were camping deep in the algonquin forest and my dad met someone that he knew. thought that was odd. the funny thing was he didnt even act like it was a big deal.

i also saw a freind at an airport over an hour away.

 
my friend called me and asked what i was doing once. i told him nothing, then asked him what he was doing. he also said nothing. we were both doing jack shit at the same time.
 
I saw this kid from my school when i was camping in upstate new york. I found it really funny cause i saw him jogging (he's a pretty fat kid who never does anything strenuous)
 
yesterday i got on a school laptop and it wouldnt boot up, it went straight to command prompt then froze... coincidence?
 
i was sitting in my living room and my roommate goes, "did somebody just fart?" and as he's saying it, this other kid in the room farts really loud.
it was so funny and awesome
 
When I went to Thailand a few years ago we went to see a Muy Tai (?) fight and me and my cousin got picked to be the ring girls for the fight and one of the fighters was American and we were talking to him and it turns out he lived like 20 minutes away from me.
 
my birthday is march 28th, 93 and my friend eugene's is on the 29th, but he was born in russia, so with the whole time zone differrence we figure we pretty much have the same birthday.
 
I saw this guy with blonde hair yesterday, then today, i saw another guy with blonde hair! fucking crazy.

but seriously... i have the same bday as my ex-gf.
 
Not me but my good friend was in Florenze and was coming out of a bar and walking down the street ran into her old best friend who moved away like jr yr of HS... thats pretty random Seattle to a dive bar in Italy
 
I went to Cuba for my grade 12 grad trip and as I was wandering around the resort super hammed I ran into a friend of mine that moved away to a prvate school in middle school. It was pretty wild I was like wtf jack. This is fuckin cuba!!! what are you doin here!!!
 
Over a soccer tournament last summer I split this kids head open and sent him (along with myself to the emergency room) This year at my first year in college, my next door neighbors in the dorms are really good friends with the kid still can't believe I'm the one who sent the kid to the hospital. And they are now some of my best friends.
 
Wow! me too! coincidence... probably
It always pisses me off though cause every time i think i feel it vibrate.. pull out my phone, see that there's no text, then literally 2 seconds after i put it back in my pocket it vibrates for real. happens at least once a day.
 
I moved to Mammoth and started seeing this guy.
Hes from SoCal, Im from Minnesota, but turns out my mom and his dad were highschool bio lab partners in Iowa.

I went to the Hard Rock in Times Square NYC, and my server lived 2 blocks away from me in LA.
I dated this guy in college. His ex girlfriend moved to Bemidji, MN where my best friend was going to college and they they started dating.
I meet this guy at this club and he tells me he is in a band. We go on a date. He is in a band but he is also one of the anthropology professors on the application committee for the grad-school I was about to apply to. I changed majors.
 
i was walking with my boss and coworker in times square at 2:30 a.m. over the summer. we had to go to JFK airport to pick up a kid and decided to get a bite to eat in the city before the flight landed. so again it's 2:30 am and we're walking and suddenly i feel a hand on my shoulder a voice go "don't move motherfucker" i turn around and its one of my best buddies from college haha
 
i saw one of my friends from the u of utah who was living in SLC at the time (after I stopped going to utah and was living in CT) at the Echo Project, which is a music festival in Atlanta, GA, it was crazy I saw him from a distance and was like no that couldnt be him, then I ran up to him and it was, I had no idea he was going to be at the festival either
 
I had a good friend from switzerland named sarah whom I met in Canada. Then a year later on my first year at college I became friends with this indian guy who was dating a swiss girl who happened to be friends with sarah too. small world.
 
haha i know exactly what you mean

i always pull it out to check the time or whatever, and boom, as it is in my hand, text / call

but my aunt and uncle have the same birthday, a few years apart though
 
Giray Dadali this one is for you....well he and I have a joke about the 80s and when the song what is love by haddaway plays on shuffle or on the radio which is not alot I always text him. Well one day I was on the way to my mountain and its about an hour away and in the middle of no where and to get there I have to drive in front of his house. Well just before I was going to pass his house what is love came on the radio and it was possibly the greatest and most random coincidence I have ever had in my 17 years of living!
 
Ok, I got one. My mother gave birth to my brother in the same hospital, the same room, and the same bed position, as she was born in.

a couple months ago, i met a kid i knew from high school while waiting for the t in boston. i guess he lives there now, but i came up from ri.
 
One time I was on a ski trip at Cranmore staying in some skiers hotel. Then I saw some kid from my basketball team who doesn't ski. It was weird because I live like 2 hours from Cranmore, and I was in a skiers hotel and spotted the kid.
 
the black guys head in the iContact ad at the top of the screen lines up perfectly with shanes and its kinda freakin me out.

 
i was at a diner with my friends and we mentioned this kid named drew and right when we said his name he walked through the door of the dinernone of us planned anything
 
My best friend and I have the same exact birthday - July 14th 1988. Our parents knew each other for a couple years before we were born. Though I was born in Delaware, and she was born in Florida.
 
I am born 4 years and one day after my sister.

My dad (he's from the Holland) went to Holland for my grandma's funeral, and in a bus he met up with one of his best friends from high school. I thought it was pretty weird.
 
Birthdays:

Dad: June 12th

Me: June 13th

Sister: Sep 22nd

Mother: Sep 23rd

So either that is crazy timing, or it is a fucking coincidence
 
in fifth grade i got hit by a car and it was pretty serious. five days in the hospital broken jaw, fractured skull, brain fluid leaking out my ear, all that fun shit. well over winter break im messing around, sledding down the snowbanks in the parking lot of the vets office right next to my house when one of the ladies that works there comes out and asks if she can try. i so sure and she goes down a few times and goes back in and i leave. as im walking away she runs back out and stops me and asks if ive ever been hit by a car. i say yes and asked her if she had heard about it. i will never forget what she says next. she says no, i was the one that held you in my arms untill the ambulance came....

holy shit
 
today i randomly saw a friend from anchorage who is now living in SLC too, i didnt know he moved down here.
once we went to a border town in mexico and in the ghetto ass leather bag shop we ran into the people who lived on the property next to ours in canada. we were from alaska and they were living in washington where my dad grew up. he recognized them from when he was younger and went to the canada property in the summers.
