Odd coincidences

Long long time ago in an apt not too far from here I tried to leave at 6:03. My friend Meagan asked me to wait. She said to never leave on "3". Didn't get it, but we waited one minute to leave. About 6 months later, in my own apt, my friend Ben said he was ready to go, but that he was going to wait a couple minutes because he was scared to leave on the number "3". Now these two have never met. Ever. There's no way they could've collaborated a story. I have 2 questions here:

A)Has anybody else ever heard anything like this before?

B)Ever have weird shit like that happen around you? Like a really puzzling coincidence?

 

a lot of people are afraid of 3's. deaths come in 3's... and other stuff....

 

sillyness *knock on wood*

 

If I happen to look at the clock right before I leave I won't go on a 3...

 

what if your clock is just a minute fast or something?

 

all the time.

 

i was actually thinking of the same thing earlier.

 

Superstitious people suck.

 

3 is disney's, the devil's, and prescott bush's favorite number.

 

My favorite number as well...

I've never heard of people being litterally scared of the number three
I have heard of bad things coming in threes though

 

Yup. So many people think the devil's number is 6 because movies said so based on Revalations, they don't realize that it was trying to say that humans are their own enemy.

 

Interesting... .three happens to be a biblical number

 

What makes it biblical?

 

Christ rose on the third day
The Lord manifests himself in three different forms: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit

I am not really quite sure how it is of the devil. Even the number six itself is not of satan. It is the number of man.

 

Thanks.

 

Our 1st date was December 13th, 2003, we are 13 years apart in age, when we fell in love she was 26 (13x2), and I was 39 (13x3). Although together 3 months, there was a Friday the 13th then.. When I asked her how old she was, she told me guess, I said "I bet I moved off of Vancouver Island (we both grew up there, she was born there) before you were born", (I moved when I was 13). She asked me when I moved, I told her July 2nd, 77, Eileen was born 8 days later, July 10th, 77. So I was right...by 8 days. My mom, Elna, was born on July 13th. Elna passed away during the night of March 20th, 1993 at the age of 52 (13x4), Eileen was hit on the morning of March 19th.. I mentioned Eileen's b'day is 3 days before my mom's & she was hit 11 years les a day after my mom died. Well my mom’s name was Elna, & when I looked it up on a ‘name meanings’ website, they had no meaning for it, but suggested other names to try, & of course Eileen was one of them.

 

ive never believed in any of this stuff, i think if you look hard enough you can always find something. and of course there are going to be coinscidences it would be weirder if there weren't any.

 

My fiance's surname is below this newspaper pic of me at one week old, by coincidence. I agree with sooty, I would be more surprised if there weren't any.

 

Blackguard, those are the most darling little old ladies!!
You and your mom are so cute too, but I can't get over them they are adorable, I had a little cuban great grandma and they remind me so much of her when we had our five generations of first born girls picture taken...what a peach.
