Daily coincidences

There is hardly a day that passes when I don't have a 'coincidence', so much so that I don't think of them as coincidences but as a regular odd and often spooky occurrence but very much a part of my life. The most mundane ones are those that happen to me most often - when I'm typing on the computer or reading a book or a newspaper and I type/read an unusual word at exactly the same time as that word is spoken on the television or radio. These are never the most common words like 'the', 'at', 'but', 'or', etc, but less regularly used words like 'umbrella', 'inflamation', 'university', 'ridiculous' etc. I can accept that for it to happen maybe once a month or once a week would be a 'coincidence' but I feel I'm getting more than the average share of them. Although I'm no longer surprised when it happens, it still spooks me, especially when the matching words concerned are words that are less commonly used.
