People Share The Biggest Coincidence That's Ever Happened To Them

Well that's odd. No?

There are just some moments in life that are just too strange to be random? But it's quite possible life really is just that random. There are implausible situations like sharing the same middle name as your lover or discovering a long lost twin, or finding your hair beret from kindergarten while you're skinny dipping in the ocean; that fall under the moments you swear you can't "make this stuff up" even of you tried category. Those are the times when you have to either leave it all up to the possibility of the random or that there is divine power at play.

Redditor u/Ashaliedoll was wondering what deja vú moments we've all experienced by asking.... What has been the biggest coincidence you've experienced in your life so far?


It's like finding Wilson!

I worked in a video store. I was picking up the returns to put them back in the system when I found a business card in the returns bin. It's the only time in 3 years that I ever found anything other than movies. We were three employees on that shift, so any of us could have found it. It was one of my brother's business card. He lives in another city and had no idea where I worked and when. I asked him about it and he has no idea how it got there. What are the chances that someone dropped it in MY store, on MY shift and I would be the one to pick it up? It could have been someone who knew both of us playing a trick on me, but I moved in that city just two years prior and none of the people I knew there could possibly know my brother as well.

I have another one.

While signing the lease of our new apartment, the land lord realized that my S.O's name was familiar. It was a pretty big apartment building and they had a lost and found box. The landlord went and searched in the box and got my S.O's handbag that had her name written inside. She lost that handbag a year earlier during her vacation in British Columbia... 2300 miles from here. We have no idea how it got there. mcSibiss

Hocus Pocus... 

My 'spooky Halloween' story has to be it. Got a brand new TV for my birthday in October (this was years ago, tube tv). I invited a friend over on Halloween night to hand out candy with me. We sat down to watch a Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons. We're sitting on my couch, and Bart is sitting on his. He tries to turn on his TV but it doesn't work. Batteries are dead in his remote. He fishes around in the couch cushions and pulls out a stick of plutonium from Homer's work and sticks it in his remote, points it at his TV, and... my TV shut off. At that exact moment. And on Halloween. It never came back on. I had to return it. MeanWall

JD Vance Gets Perfectly Shamed After Claiming Medicaid Cuts In Budget Bill Are 'Immaterial'

Critics slammed Vice President JD Vance after he claimed that the "minutiae of the Medicaid policy" in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," are "immaterial" to the millions of Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage if it were to become law.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." WaPo noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

'Cobra Kai' Star Opens Up About Bizarre Biting Incident By Costar In New Video

Back in June, Cobra Kai star Martin Kove was kicked out of a fan convention after reportedly biting costar Alicia Hannah-Kim on the arm.

Having just arrived at the convention, Hannah-Kim approached Kove from behind and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. In response, he grabbed her arm and bit her in the bicep almost hard enough to "draw blood," then took her arm again and kissed the place where he bit her.
