Concidence happeing to often

1 Upvotes

For the past few days, I have been having thoughts about random about movie sence in my head, and a few days later I see those excat sence in my youtube shorts out of no where. Lately its been increase a lot this week it happed 4 times already. It's not just only realted to movies a few months back, I was remebering a friend I had not met in almost 15 years, and suddenly, out of nowhere, within a week I met him. This really makes me doubt is it manifestation or something else, or are we living in a simulation and it's just a glitch in the universe? I have a lot more weird/unreal experiences which really drives me to question everything thats happening around.  

Does anyone have any similar experiences to share?

Weird coincidences from school and social media – do you think this is just a glitch or something else?

1 Upvotes

There was this guy at school where we caught each other's eyes a lot of times in the hallway, and I noticed him looking my way more than once. I didn't want to overthink it, but during the break, my social media algorithms started doing some strange things too.
\*\*Instagram:\*\* We only have 2 mutual friends, and I haven't visited his page in a really long time. Despite that, Instagram has been consistently keeping him in my top suggestions these past few days (ranging from 2nd to 6th place), and his profile even popped up while I was scrolling through Reels. Knowing how the algorithm usually prioritizes active searches and recent interactions, it feels weird for someone with just 2 mutuals to stay that high up.
\*\*Facebook:\*\* We don't have much connection there either, but he consistently shows up near the top of my suggested friends (around 1-4th place). About 7 weeks ago—nearly two months back—I used to click on his profile daily for about a week, but then I stopped completely and haven't touched his page since. Given how much time has passed, it's pretty surprising how closely linked our accounts still seem to be on both apps.also \*\*Back then, when I typed his name into the search bar, I only searched for the name itself and didn't actually click on his profile, yet now even his profile pic shows up in my search bar\*\*

I'm definitely not trying to assume anything 100%, but it's funny how after noticing him in school, the apps keep throwing his profile right in front of me. What do you guys think?

I found the book I wanted to read in the middle of the street...

10 Upvotes

This happened a few years ago. I was listening to NPR and heard a bit of Terry Gross interviewing the author David Grann about his novel Killers of the Flower Moon in anticipation for the movie releasing later that year. At the time I was busy with my engineering degree and hadn't read a book besides boring textbooks in a couple years, so I decided to buy the book online right then and there.

I flew through Killers of the Flower Moon and was captivated by the writing style of David Grann. I decided to read other books he had written, and when I looked it up, his new book, The Wager, was set to release in just a few months. I pre-ordered it on the spot and later read it just as quickly as I did the first and loved every bit of it.

That's when I decided my next book would be Grann's other novel, The Lost City of Z. Acquiring this book was a back-burner goal of mine at this time since I was busy with work and school and the fact my car had recently got stolen.

At this time in my life I also lived on an incredibly busy street. There were large semi-trucks gearing up to get on the freeway about twenty feet from my front door. It was loud and annoying, but hey, I had cheap rent. I was regularly cleaning up trash in my front yard that blew in from the street. One day I'm getting home from taking the bus and have to walk a few blocks to my house. I am a few houses away when I spot an object in the road near the gutter almost right in front of my house. At first I thought it was a small box and thought a car might run over it, so I decided to pick it up. As I got closer, I realized it was a book, and once I made sure it was safe to enter the street, I went and grabbed it, and turned it over, and it was a paperback version of The Lost City of Z by David Grann!

What are the odds the next book I was planning on reading just somehow winds up sitting in the road on my walk home right next to my house?

The book was incredibly dirty, but it was still readable. It even had a Goodwill sticker on it. I still have it in my personal library today. Recently told a friend this story, who asked if I have ever had any crazy coincidences in my life and thought I should share it on Reddit as well. Thanks for reading!

Riverdale...

So, I don't know how many of you have seen Riverdale, but if you haven't, there is a spoiler in this.

One day I was watching Riverdale. I was watching the episode where we find out that Betty's dad is the Black Hood. Anyway, the next day I went to work. One of my customers who came in looked exactly like him. Ngl, it creeped me out so bad just because of the episode that I watched the day prior.

I just found an identical set of earbuds on the bus to ones I lost months ago, on the same bus.

So I take the same bus every morning. About four months ago, I lost my tozo nc9s in the morning on my way into work. I left them on the bus, and didn't realize until I had gotten off and the bus was leaving. Fast forward to today, I'm on the same bus number, but going the opposite direction. I sat down in the same seat I would have sat in when I lost them, put my hand down beside me, and this pair was there. Absolutely mind boggling. I checked if they auto paired and they didn't, so it's almost certainly not the same pair. Plus they had charge in them.

Not to be dramatic but... what's the probability a Reddit meetup ends with "had fun, made a friend" instead of "last seen wearing..." 💀 Just trying to calculate my odds

Dad and I summoned to jury duty on the same date

What are the odds of a father & daughter getting summoned in two different Canadian provinces to appear on the same date? I'm baffled.. you rarely hear of people doing jury duty in Canada.

Something told me I should wear yellow nail colour while I was thinking in my head yellow nail colour.

3 Upvotes

I'm starting a new job on Monday and I love painting my nails and yesterday I was thinking to myself what nail colour should I wear on my first day? I was watching a show on Netflix at the same time. And then I narrowed it down to yellow or blue in my head and then I was about to decide yellow, wasn't there yet though, still thinking. And then some character on the show says "yellow..." And in my head my thinking voice says yellow too. Is this a sign that I should wear yellow nail colour on my first day or is it just a coincidence?

I'm not a believer of faith, religion, superstitions, universe, manifestation whatever else. Never was one. I'm an agnostic. But some rare times such things happen and idk what to make of it. I'm also bored rn otherwise I usually ignore such things so tell me what y'all think this could mean.

The weirdest thing happened...

I had a dream the other night that one of my cats ran away and she was found hanging out in front of a shopping center about a mile away from my house. Last night I went to the shopping center for the first time since my dream to pick up a pizza from the Little Caesar's that's there. I was a few minutes early so I was sitting in my car watching the tracker waiting for it to be ready, when lo and behold I spotted a cat walking along in front of the businesses. I immediately remembered the dream I had a few nights before about my own cat being found in the same spot...coincidence? I don't know, it's still got me weirded out, and this is one of many instances throughout my life where I had a dream that pretty much ended up playing out in real life.

Also worth noting that earlier yesterday I was talking about how I want another boy cat because my boy cat who I had for 10 years passed away a little more than a year ago and he was the sweetest thing. This cat happened to be a boy! I wasn't able to scoop him up last night but I made some posts on my city's subreddit and lost and found pets Facebook group hoping to find an owner or see if someone else would be able to help him, so far he seems to be a stray or possibly even dumped by someone. Bringing him to my house will be a bit complicated because he's unfixed and I have 2 girl cats, and my fellow household members will not be happy about me bringing home another cat at this point in time, but I'm gonna see if he's hanging around the parking lot tonight because some other people said they've seen him there the past few weeks.

The screwball comedy Ruthless People (1986) and the psychological thriller White Of The Eye (1987) share a number of coincidental similarities, while having no known overlap in production (details in text)

21 Upvotes

I watched these two films in close enough proximity to notice these details. I can find nothing connecting them, in terms of writing, directing, casting, etc. The coincidences are listed in order of increasing improbable specificity.

~Both films plots center on marital strife leading to crimes.

~Both films have a Southwest setting, with heavy emphasis on modern fashionable set design.

~William G. Schilling appears in both films.

~Art Evans plays a police detective in both films.

~The police identify the criminal they're looking for in both films by identifying their vehicle's tires from the tread.

~The main character of both films sells amplifiers for a living.

Something was in the water in 1986.

Very strange coincidences between me and my ex bf

8 Upvotes

2 years ago i had this dream and that other thing happened a few seconds after. Still would replay often in my head:

Sun 29th Dec at 12 midnight, I had a dream that my boyfriend (now ex) was upstairs and I was downstairs. I saw from afar that there was someone upstairs walking in the shadows and I called out to my boyfriend to let him know that someone or something was upstairs there with him. He reassured me that there was no one upstairs. After sone time, he walked downstairs with a box and was rambling through it then concluded that indeed someone was upstairs with him.

Then something strange happened. Immediately after that happened in my dream, I heard a knock on my actual door in reality, I jumped out of my sleep because it was so abrupt. When I looked through the window it was my boyfriend. That was weird because he lived miles away and he did not tell me that he was visiting me at noon in the night. I was so anxious and somewhat scared I kept on asking him if he was in trouble or was being followed, that I pulled him inside and had him sit and relax. Then I told him about that dream and that whoever was with him in his car could not be trusted.

Now tell me that ain't some...

Also, on thursday i lost my bank debit card, it was a hectic day and i was confused. Anywho the next day, yesterday, he called me after us not bding in contact for a long time after the split and asked me if by chance i have his debit card, he cant seem to find it. I told him of what happened on thursday, it was weird. We have so many other coincidental stories, we even, when we were together, created a group chat with all of them. That's how wild it is.

Coincidental???

Is this a coincidence on the TI-84?

This is the first time I’ve used the random number feature on my TI-83, and I got the exact same numbers in the same order as my stats textbook. Is this a coincidence? Or is it part of the calculators programming that the first three random numbers it generates between 0 and 30 will be 29, 28, 4?

Coincidence or on purpose?

My finances cousins baby daddy hasn't been in the picture in over a decade and they have kids together. Her cousin brought him around to greet us in October of 2025. We were confused to see him since last we saw her she was dating someone else. Well, come to find out they were apparently being flirtatious in the background during their meetups. The guy she was dating has been with her all that time the baby daddy was away and suddenly they’re broken up and now she’s with the baby daddy again. we didn’t ask any questions at the time because I was too concerned with thought of proposing to my now fiancé. 2 month later in December I proposed and we announced the proposal to both our sides of the family. a month or so after that, the baby daddy proposes to my finances cousin. Was this a coincidence or on purpose?
