Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
I was looking for a full time babysitter for my six week old daughter because I was due back at work. I went to meet a lady named Midge. She was holding my baby and asked her name. I said Margo. She said her sister was named Margo. I said baby's middle name is Wallis. She said her real name is Wallis, but everyone calls her Midge. I told her my name is Vicki. Her brother was Victor. My other daughter is Dayna. Her niece, Dana, lived with her. Dayna's middle name is Rose. Her sister-in-law was Rose. She babysat till my daughter started kindergarten. At my daughter's one year birthday party her mom came in and recognized my father-in-law. It turns out they had worked together at a local drive in when they were young. She asked him what happened to the little boy who used to come after school for a hamburger and shake. Turns out he's my husband. She and I are still good friends and my daughter is thirty.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
10 years ago, I was visiting my parents, who were now living in a town, three miles from the village where I was born and grew up. I had my first car, so took the chance to drive to the childhood village and look around. I went to the house where I lived between the ages of 2 and 12: we'd moved out of there in 1979, this was 2010. I wanted to take a picture of the wrought-iron sculpture near the front door, which is too far from the road to see clearly. So I approached and rang the doorbell, to ask permission, rather than just lurking about on the drive, trying to get a picture. When the door was answered, I explained that I'd lived in the house for 10 years, and wanted this photo. The owner look at me, then said "Is your name Gillian ? I think we have something of yours." The current owners had lived there for 20 years. Two weeks before my random visit, the husband had been working in the garden and dug up a silver bangle with two forenames and a date engraved on it. They asked a neighbour, who had been living next door since we'd lived there, and the neighbour remembered my name. The date was my christening. I have no memory of losing my christening bangle, or why it was taken out into the garden. It had been lying out there for well over 30 years, and emerged just 2 weeks before my visit. I got to see around the house I'd loved, which had been changed very little, and was reunited with the bangle. In all the excitement, I completely forgot to get the picture I'd wanted in the first place.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
My husband married for the first time when he was 18. He and his wife spent their honeymoon in Mazatlan. The same time they were there, I was there with my family on vacation. We did not meet at this time. After I graduated college I moved onto a small street in Los Angeles (6 blocks long). I lived there 12 years. When he was 12 his family moved to that same street. The entire time I was in my apartment, he and his wife and kids lived about 5 miles away, but often visited his mother who lived across the street, and one house up. We never met. We went to the same shops, restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters. His best friend worked at the same studio I did. We never met. About 15 years ago his wife was transferred out of state, so they moved. October 2005, they took a trip to Chicago to look at colleges for their daughter. October 2005, I was working on a film on location in Chicago. We did not meet at this time. After he and his wife divorced, he moved back to Los Angeles. He got a tax guy. I have the same tax guy. We didn't meet there. We met 3 years ago on match.com and married a year and a half later. We both felt that we knew each other our entire lives when we first met. It was only after we got to know each other's pasts better that we realized why. We have shared memories of times and places, even though we weren't together during those times.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
One time I was at a local fast-food restaurant. I thought to myself "Wow. An oreo milkshake would be amazing right now." I pull up to the window and the clerk tells me that there is a large oreo milkshake that had been passed up by 3 cars before me. I took the milkshake.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
When I was a kid, I was walking on the beach with my parents, and I found a coin lying on the sand. It was kind of an unusual coin, so I picked it up. A short while later I tripped and accidentally threw the coin away as I fell over. We searched all over and couldn't find it anywhere. My parents joked that I threw it so hard, it must have landed a couple miles up the coast. Two days later we went to a town a couple of miles up the coast. I see a coin exactly the same as the one I threw away, lying on the ground. It weirded us all out.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
I met someone who looked exactly like me, and who was born on the exact day as me. freaked me out.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
Not me but my history teacher: He went to Egypt for vacation during the summer break. When he went to see the pyramids, someone suddenly called his name and waved at him. It turned out to be our other history teacher who had also travelled to Egypt.Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Coincidence To Ever Happen To You?
Years ago. Introducing a very dear teenage friend of mine to my part Anglo-Indian grandparents. My friend also had Anglo-Indian heritage but had lived in England all his life up north, only relocating in his teens to my area down south. He and my Grandfather naturally starting talking about India. My Grandfather talked about living in Rajasthan ‘oh, that’s where my granddad lived’ said my friend. My Grandfather talked about working on the Indian railways. ‘Oh, my grandad also worked on the railways’ says my friend, turns out they had worked the same line. My Grandfather asked my friends’ grandads’ name. When he told him, a HUGE smile appeared on my Grandfather’s face and he said ‘my god, we were best friends out there forty years ago!’. Two friends in India forty years ago, having grandchildren who later meet randomly in their teens and become dear friends. I love that coincidence in my life.
