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

Back when I was but 16...
...I took my ACT tests at a local high school (I didn't go there because I was homeschooled). It was a Saturday in April, and the place was really really full. Students from all over were taking the test, so they had all the classrooms full. I was walking to the one I was supposed to be in, and I overhear a girl about my age saying, "Yeah, I stayed at my boyfriend's house last night 'cause we were out so late. I'm wearing his clothes today, actually." I walked away thinking, "Wow, just a bit trashy, there."
Fast forward to August of the same year. I'm working at the local hospital, making trays of food for patients. One of the girls that works there and I get to talking about tests. She mentions that she didn't like her ACT scores. I say, "Yeah, there was some chick in the hallway when I was going to take mine talking about how she'd stayed at her boyfriend's the night before, and had been out partying all that night. I'll bet her score was worse than yours!"
She gets very quiet, then asks me where I had taken the test, and when.
Turns out it was her. >_<
