This is a question 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

I'm currently at university in my first year, and being first years we tend to spend a lot of time up at night (hence why I'm typing this at 05.50am). Anyway, in our first semester I was in my blockmate Jon's room with a guy from the block next to us, a guy I'd never met, called Jordan. Jon was arsing about on YouTube, as you do, looking for music videos. He was taking suggestions and I was about to say Another Brick in the Wall when Jordan piped up with that. Finding that quite funny, I laughed and told him I was about to say that. He kind of smiled and we watched the video. When it finished Jon was looking again and I thought I'd ask for Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan. I'm about to say it, it's on the tip of my tongue, and Jordan gets in there before me and asks for it. This time I just laugh my arse off and tell him I was about to say that. He's a little amused, but not overly peturbed. So the same happens again, Jon's looking for another song, and I think Stacey's Mom by Fountains of Wayne will be a decent video. Sure enough, Jordan says the same damn song as me before I can get it out. This time they actually looked at me before I even said anything and I just said 'Yep, I was thinking exactly that.' I don't think they ever believed me or truely took it seriously, but since I was the one cut off each time I found it slightly sinister. Of all the bands, and all the songs, we both chose 3, in the same order. And they were all from different music genres. I don't want to think what the odds of that happening are, but if my luck had held out until Saturday evening instead, maybe I'd be a millionaire now. :(
