Ok, so this will be the unofficial "Post your stupid coincidences" thread.

Here's mine:
When I was very little, maybe in about kindergarten, my parents were watching TV while my older brother and I were playing with a dart gun, shooting our Batman figures off of the Batman playset and stuff like that. Well, I decided to see if I could get a dart to stick on the TV, so I licked the tip of the dart, stuck it in the gun, and pulled back on it to load it for action. I shot the TV screen, and not only did it stick, but as soon as it hit the TV, it hit a man on-screen just as he was shot and he fell down, arms flailing. I mean it was dead on; as if the dart killed the guy, hehe.

Last Saturday I spent all day at home and went to bed real late, I had a dream about buying a car, but i kept on thinking to myself "hold on,I don't need one, i've already got a car". When i woke up sunday morning my car had been stolen.

when i was in highschool i had a girlfriend working on the yearbook staff. she couldn't find this guy to give his proofs to, so she pulled the proof of the envelope and stuck it in the front of my pants. i forgot about it and found it later in the bathroom of a church while i was changing for a chorus concert. i stuck the pic to a roll of toilet paper, where the guy whose pic it was found it. still haven't decided if it was an ironic coincidence or an evil omen.

I was about to post a new thread about coincidences when I logged on....eerie, man, just eerie.

One time in college in the dorm, it was late at night and this gorgeous girl was standing in front of the elevators. My room was right in front of the elevators, so when I walked outside my door, I saw her there, and she commented that they must be broken, because she'd been waiting for a long time since she pressed the button.

There wasn't any indicator of what floor the elevators were on, so that makes this all the more of a cool coincidence...

I said, "Well, you've come to the right guy for help, you see, I'm the Lord of the Elevators" I raised my arms and waved them back and forth and said "By the power of the God of Elevators, I command thee to OPEN!"

At that very second, on cue, all three elevators opened their doors.

When I was 12, we used to sit on my porch and fire slingshots at lined-up cans on a bench about 15-20 feet away. We've been trying for about 10 minutes now without a success. My dad walks out onto the porch, eating olives. He chucks away an olive stone without looking and knocks the can off the bench.

My friend and I were hooking up his grandfather's entertainment system....stereo, vcr, tv, cd player, speakers... There was a mess of wires involved, and it took about a half hour to do. When we were finally done, my friend turns on the television, and there's a car commercial on where the reflection of the car was showing, so the picture was upside down. My friend's grandfather jumped up and said "What the hell did you do?" Funny stuff...

Back in oh, 85, 86 or so when the first nightmare on elm street was on... we were watching, oh I suppose we were 13/14 years old or so... getting sufficiently freaked out by the movie - at one point when a character in the movie dialed the phone, as perfectly as could happen - when they dialed the 7th digit, our phone rang - scared the @#$ out of us all! Fun!

Another one I thought of:

I live on the East Coast of the US, and I went to Alaska a few years ago. I was wearing a shirt from my church, and someone on the cruise stopped me. Turns out that he lived right around the corner from my church. That's not the freaky part...

About a year or so later I had applied for a job. The guy calls me on the phone to set up my interview time, and he's chatting briefly about my employment packet. He noticed that I listed my involvment with the church youth group on my application. He proceeds to tell me how he lives right around the corner from my church. I reply with "You didn't happen to go on a cruise to Alaska a year or so ago, did you"? Same guy.

I was in Italy four years ago for a trip with a missions group, and happened to be wearing a shirt from a *SMALL* university in Michigan. Turns out that one of the people that was from another group was actually going to college at that university. Weirdest part of that was I'm from Arizona, and he was from Florida or something.

Couple of years ago I had a bullshit job turning MS Word resumes into clean plaintext documents. To pass the time, I would listen to NPR as I would pull up a resume and run a macro and then go fix all the things the macro left behind. Well, this was right about the time Viagra was hitting the market, and a story came up on All Things Considered about it just as I was pulling the next resume off the server. I listened for a few seconds, and looked at my screen, and what do you suppose the name on the resume was?

Peter Steele.

No joke.

<B>fhqwhgads</B>, I think that means that you are supposed to me together or that you are soulmates or something.
I hope you are into that.

Loooong time ago, I think it was in eighth grade...

We were doing a project on economics or something, researching consumer goods. We each had to draw out of a hat one consumer product and write a parer about it. I was taking tennis lessons at the time, and as a passing thought, I figured that If I got "tennis" as an item, it would be really easy. YEP. I got "Tennis Racquets"

In 11th grade, a bit later in my schooling, I was doing a similar project, this time on physics. We drew items out of a hat, I thought it would be awesome if I got Star Trek, as I had just gotten "the Physics of Star Trek" for my birthday... AGAIN, got "Star Trek Physics" for the project...

Yikes... always freaked me out.
