Ever had a really strange coincidence?

    In my life, I've had some really strange coincidences.

    Here's an example: a few years ago I had this big list of songs I planned to download (this was before I had any music of my own). One day I picked the song 'Wind of Change' by Scorpions, totally at random. I downloaded it, listened to it, then went online and spoke to a friend of mine in another part of the world. I told her about what I'd just downloaded and I found out that she had just downloaded that song a couple of days earlier! (Neither of us had ever mentioned that song to each other before.)

    So I was thinking that this was all a bit of a strange coincidence, when I went downstairs and turned on the TV. There was a band playing on TV but the sound was on mute. I didn't recognise the band but I thought to myself: "wouldn't it be really weird if that was Scorpions! I turned on the volume and — lo and behold — it was them, playing Wind of Change! (Bear in mind, they hadn't been on TV for probably 10 years.)

    Tell me about your strange coincidences!

    I've had so many that I don't even call them coincidences anymore. I think of it as the universe speaking to me in volumes.

    I've thought of people while driving around, saw cars that looked like theirs but weren't theirs, and normally by the end of that day I see the person in their car.

    Many years ago I was walking up my parents driveway. I was with my boyfriend at the time. As I was walking I knew something was horribly wrong in my parents house. I could feel this massive energy. I walked in and my brother was crying on the phone. He was getting a divorce.
    I don't know if that would be considered a coincidence. I think it was more like a preminition.

    I'm sure I'll think of some more.

    i was learning to drive the other day and the instructor asked me to pull into a mcdonalds... i didnt even notice it but she pointed it out afterwards, when i parked i parked to the left of a red van, and when we got out, that van was gone and there was another red van to the right of us.
    another time, i was watching TV late one night and was getting ready to go upstairs to go to bed, and somehow ended up thinking oh ill just leave it on in case anything else wants to watch it, i didnt go to bed for like an hour, went back downstairs to get a drink and the TV was buzzing and there was that multicolored screen that youve probably seen before when channells arent working right or something, i thought that was pretty weird......
    i also get preminitions and things like peanuts talked about too, its also gotten to the point where i dont really think too much of it anymore and i just consider it normal....

    About the title...
    coincidences are always strange, a coincidence is a strange happening that seems arranged
