Weird coincidences you've experienced

What are the weirdest coincidences you've experienced? Here are some of mine:

I was watching Superman III on HBO Max. Her internet connection is bad since she lives out in the country, so the movie kept getting stuck at random places. One of the places it got stuck was the part where the red berries are shown. While the TV was stuck on this frame, my mom yelled from the back door that she wanted me to come outside so she could show me something. What was it she wanted to show me? Some red berries she found!

My left leg was aching and we went to my mom's friend's house who has 7 cats and 5 dogs and one of her cats came up to me and started kneading on my leg, as if it knew that my leg was aching and was trying to massage it!

The most recent one is I was with my friend on the light rail and right after she said "I know being on the train can get boring", another passenger yawned. He was too far away to have heard her.

Sometimes when I'm riding in a car, I'll start thinking of a certain thing, and then suddenly I'll see a billboard relating to whatever it is I'm thinking of.

i can't believe nor even fathom that he visited his friend! the audacity!

One time while I was grocery shopping, I was listening to the Shrek 2 version of "Accidentally in Love" with the mandolin at the beginning. As I was checking out, the soundtrack version of the song was playing on the store radio.

listening to a Music CD and then the exact same song comes on the radio will never not be freakishly weird.

New theme music also a box

Once I asked, "Wasn't there a song called 'Rosanna'?" and then it started playing on the radio!

Another time, my mother and I were shopping for Boggle and met another woman who was also!

Once, my dad (who's a screen composer) was mulling over which instrument to use for the score of one movie, and right after he'd decided on bagpipes, some rando started playing the bagpipes.

For every low there is a high.

not every coincidences is weird,some are just..regular coincidences

One time me and my family went to visit an old castle, and we saw someone who looked a lot like my sister and had very similar clothes too. Then we went to a restaurant and she was there too.

A few days before watching the 2021 Dune I had a weird dream about futuristic looking samurai attacking a fortress, a bunch of people including a woman with beads walking across a desert pathway, a legion of troops for an Emperor being counted, two "important" fugitives going into hiding in a special tent that works underneath the sands of a desert, a dead soldier wearing dark blue hidden under floorboards, and an underground place that looked a bit like the interior Owen and Beru's house.

I hadn't seen the 1984 movie or read the book at the time, though my dad had done both before. Though, the 1984 one is the only movie my dad ever walked out on: the story goes that he and his friends were seeing it as part of a Double Feature and the "movie shown before that nobody had any expectations for" of the Double Feature just happened to be Terminator so when it was clear the 1984 movie didn't have the spirit of the book he and his friends walked out satisfied they had seen at least one good movie.

Okay this happened when I was in Grade 6; I accidentally predicted the future (kinda).

I recalled a riddle one day and shared it with some classmates, went along the lines of:

It seemed to me that I remembered it out of nowhere.

That afternoon, we were watching an animated Arabic storytime video. What I can recall is that a dragon was blocking people from getting in and/or out of a town unless someone solve his riddle. I was very surprised when the riddle was first read, and some other kids may have given me acknowledging looks, because said riddle turned out to be the exact one I talked about earlier that day, almost word-for-word.

When I was in 5th grade, I had a "debate" assignment, where we had to debate for or against a certain topic (I think school uniforms were one of the main topics, if I remember correctly). Except... instead of letting us choose a side, the teacher split us into for/against categories.

For whatever reason, I remembered this a few years later, and told my dad about it on the way home about how I thought it was rather unfair.

When we got home, we found out that one of my stepsisters was watching the Bob's Burgers episode "Ain't Miss Debatin'", where Tina joins the debate team and has a similar conflict.

One time I was watching The Big Bang Theory and my mom mentioned that Johnny Galecki played Keith Carradine's son in the obscure '80s miniseries Murder Ordained. Just then, without either of us knowing it would happen, Carradine made his debut as Penny's father.

So, last week was a scheduled vacation week for myself after one of my managers (who has since got a promotion and sent to another store) suggested it weeks before because I was working so hard.

Yesterday was an off-day that was given to me for this week, so that allowed me to help a church's media ministry. The sermon topic? Necessary sabbaticals.

I had one just now.

You’re not going to believe this. I was just thinking about Wish, and they just played a Disney song over the loudspeakers. It was the Elton John version of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

The other day, both my mom and I were wearing shirts that had Snoopy on them... on the same day I got a card that also had Snoopy on it.

So I began reading a certain webcomic a week or two ago. Yesterday, I decided to do a bit of browsing through DeviantArt, and guess what I found? Some art pertaining to that exact same webcomic^note Prior to this moment, I had not found anything related to Sparklecare on DA. A little bit of researching later (READ: viewing the artist's profile), and I found out that that wasn't any old artist, that was the frickin' author of Sparklecare. I'm not making this up. This actually happened.

One time, me and a friend sent each other the same meme on Discord at the exact same time - I first assumed it was a glitch showing my post under his user until I scrolled up and noticed that no, we did in fact both send the same thing at the same time

shouldn't his favorite genre be RPG and not point and click though

a few weeks ago, we were having a karaoke session and i had a song in mind but didn't got around to sing it cuz i couldn't find it in the karaoke book for some reason. later, when we got home, i hear mom watching Tik Tok… and i heard the song i wanted to sing hours ago

i can't believe nor even fathom that he visited his friend! the audacity!

I was reading about how dogs often lick their noses after sneezing to wipe them, and then my Pomeranian Lily sneezed and then licked her nose, like she was giving me a demonstration!

I got a You Tube recommendation of a video of how bad Wish's soundtrack is...and right next to it was a video with Chris Pine where he plays with a dog (I watch a lot of animal videos on Youtube)

Yesterday I was watching the Mysterious Mr. Enter Animated Atrocity review of The Fairly OddParents! episode "Finding Emo" and he references a song called "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" (in reference to a terrible running joke about Cosmo writing a love song about a tractor)

This morning that EXACT song plays on the radio on the country music station my family listens to while eating breakfast.

A few years ago, I got a Lightning egg on Flight Rising the same day my area had some fairly severe thunderstorms roll through.
