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

That's a bit much.... 

The one that stands out to me is I was telling someone I just hired about a traumatic experience when I was young. It was that I opened my grandma's front door when someone was frantically knocking on it and there stood the neighbor who had sliced his fingers off on his table saw on accident. Turns out it was my new hires uncle who lived next door to his parents who lived across the street from my grandparents. Our parents grew up across the street from each other and our grandparents still had their original phone numbers that were one digit off. F**ked me up. Ashaliedoll

You look familiar.... 

Went to college, met a cute girl.

"Where'd you go to high school?" she asks. "You've never heard of it," I reply. I grew up in a town of 1200 people, graduated in a class of about 90.

"Try me," she says.

And that was the beginning of finding out that not only had she heard of it, she had almost attended it because her family had lived in one of the neighboring towns very briefly when she was growing up. We shared dozens of mutual friends, and had apparently spent our young lives narrowly missing each other.

Later, after we started dating, we learned that one of our mutual friends had been trying to set us up with each other for YEARS. She was overwhelmed with laughter when she saw that we were finally together, completely without her involvement.

I asked her to marry me, she said yes. We went out to dinner with our parents so they could finally meet. Her folks arrive at the restaurant and see mine. Her mom goes, "Oh hey, [my dad's name]. So this is your son, huh?" They had been co-workers years ago. Of course. We've been married for eleven years now. Got a good thing going. We intend to keep it. withgreatpower
