Spoooky Coincidence
B3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.
He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.
What spoooky* coincidences have you encountered?
* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

A very short job interview
Many years ago etc. I went for a job interview. Thanks to various pieces of legerdemain and chicanery, I'd managed to bypass HR and got an audience with the Chairman himself.
I walked in, we exchanged pleasantries etc. and he said 'I see you went to St. Judas's of the Bleeding Entrails(*).'
'Yes, I did,' I replied.
'Did you enjoy it?'
'Yes, it was a very good school.'
'Well,' replied the big boss man, 'I spent 5 years there, and I hated every minute of it.'
Oh well. The job would probably have sucked anyway.
