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

Class!I travelled internationally a lot in a previous job. Brazil one week, Japan the next, that kind of thing.
One weekend after a spell of work in Mexico, I was staying over in San Diego for a night prior to jetting off to San Jose. Self and a new-found (American) friend arrived into town a bit late and decided to go out for a drink or two...
At the door of about the second bar we tried, there were two guys leaving as we went to enter. They stopped, looked at me, and one of them addressed me by name. I recognised them too - one of them had been in the same year as me in Primary School.
What was most spoooky was that we hadn't even known each other that well previously, hadn't seen each other since we were about 10, but recognised each other including names straight away, despite being 5200 miles away from home (give or take). American friend was well impressed.
He had big gollywog style curly hair and more freckles than any 10 normal people, so maybe that helped. I'm pretty normal looking though.
