Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta'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

Random Hitchhiker...When I started work I borrowed my parents car for a few weeks and was heading back up the motorway to drop it off.
Now, as a mate of mine spent all his travel time hitch-hiking up and down the country when he needed to get anywhere I said to myself that if the car was empty then I'd give the next hitchhiker I saw a lift.
Cue one 150 mile trip, one empty car and one hitchhiker with an "M6 North" sign.
I pulled over and offered the guy a lift.
"So, M6 north? I'm heading that way. Where abouts?"
"Junction 23" (My junction).
"Oh right, which town?"
"Err. Wigan?" (My area).
"Where abouts in Wigan?"
"Err, Ashton?" (My home town).
"Where abouts in Ashton"?
(Cue odder and odder looks as this is going on...)
"Err. Princess road?" (Just round the corner from my folks.)
"No Probs mate. :) "
So after 150 miles I drop the guy pretty much to his door and a minute later I'm back home with the kettle on.
Only time I've picked up a hitch-hiker. :)
MJB.
