Odd Cafe Coincidence
I go to a little cafe in downtown Hamilton for coffee all the time, at least once a week and usually more. My boyfriend usually arrives first, and I generally join him afterwards, due to the nature of our respective schedules. One evening a few months ago, though, I arrived first, and was sitting alone waiting for him. There was a guy on the opposite side of the cafe who kept looking over at me, but I tried to ignore it and continued to read my paper. Eventually, he came over, and asked, "Are you Meaghan?" I'm not Meaghan, and I told him so. He was really embarrased: had probably arranged to meet an Internet date at the cafe and only had a pic to go by. He said, "Sorry, but you really look like her!" and blimy, he was right! When she arrived, she had the same hair, was approximately the same size and height, and even had similar glasses. In fact, when my boyfriend walked by the window, he wondered who I was sitting with, and started to walk over to their table when he came in. Overall, quite a surreal experience.
