This is a question Spoooky Coincidence

B3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.

He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.

What spoooky* coincidences have you encountered?

* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

i'll give you two
1. staying at my boyfriend's dad's in SA, their maid was quite pregnant. i didn't know how much. one night, i dream that she's in the kitchen and her waters break, that my man's step-mum drives her to hospital and returns with a baby boy.
I wake up and discover that the maid's waters broke in the kitchen, my man's step mum has driven her to hospital and she'll be returning later with her new baby, Arthur. oooOOOoohh.

2. less psychic, more your actual coincidence this one. i'm strolling through covent garden, just dawdling after a meeting in town. i'm walking back towards the station from the opera house end, when a girl walks in front of me. "hey Lisa" I say. Lisa freaks out.
This is because Lisa was living in Wales, and had come up for the day, not telling anyone about it.
Thing is, London isn't really that big, and nothing really surprises me.

My best one is the Morroccan toilet one with my gran, but that made the newsletter in the Toilets QOTW, and i'm not shamelessly reposting that.

edit: oh, i suppose i'd better stick this one in.
I was staying in New York in 2001. On the 10th September, i got a train to Rhode Island. I left my tv alarm on.
11th September: My roommate was away, so a neighbour walked the dog. On coming back into the flat, he heard the tv, went upstairs, unplugged it, then walked to the PATH station to get the WTC train. He missed it by seconds.
If I hadn't left my tv alarm on, he wouldn't have lost those couple of minutes and would have made the train. If he'd made it, he would have been on one of the floors the first plane hit at the World Trade Centre.
Spooooky.
Though for my money, just luck.
