Well I Never!

Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University wants to know about your coincidences!

Christmas incident

One year my horrid in- laws were going to visit for Christmas dinner. I had really tried hard and pulled out all the stops. Bought a little picnic table that could fold up into a carry case. I’d put the table up which folded out into two benches and a table with an umbrella. I was in South Africa then so it was warm at Christmas. Well that table looked great in the garden and my small daughter was so excited with the decorations from the middle umbrella to the house roof. And I had put the lamb leg roast and ham out with the vegetables on the table.

Scoot on as scooters do

When I was 11 years old I was over a friends house playing. I rode my razor scooter over to his house that day which was one of my favorite toys. At some point his dad came home and yelled up the stairs that he’s sorry for whoever’s scooter was out front because he had ran it over.

Gut feelings

Met this person for the very first time at a social event just as I was about to leave, they left quite an impression on me and I ended up staying longer, running late to some other place I had to go to. Then, as I left, I had this very strong feeling that they might come to the same place as I was going (there was an event scheduled there too, but it was a very niche kind of event). Two hours later they showed up to event 2 and we crossed paths just as they entered the main room. I was very surprised and almost said "I knew you were coming".

Lost friend's location on front page

In the early 1980s I was in Stockholm and was soon going to go to Paris where an old friend from high school used to live. It had been a few years and I didn't know if she still lived there. I thought I would need to call my parents in Chicago to ask them to call her parents (also in Chicago). That day I missed a train and had to wait an hour for the next one so I bought a Wall St Journal. On the first page (column one I think) the first sentence was "Ellen S...

In Memory of Bruce "Crazy Horse" Hardy

For the last month or so I've been watching "High Way Thru Hell" series on Netflix. The last three days been watching S3 Ep 10 and just didn't watch it right through like I would usually. But today on the 10th of October I did and at the end of the Episode saw that it was dedicated to Bruce Hardy. So curious me goes and Google's his name to find out a bit more regarding when he passed away. I came across a Facebook Group "In Memory of Bruce Crazy Horse" Hardy where someone just posted 2hrs ago that he died on this day 10th of October 2014.

Superstore coincidences

I've recently been watching the show Superstore. As I started watching and making it through season 1, they have a specific date they mention, that they say "we don't talk about that date" That date is March 14th (My Birthday). Later through the series sometime in season 2, they mention another date of June 17th (My Brothers Birthday). I don't remember the significance of this date in the show, but then later on in season 3 or 4..., one of the characters (Amy) has a baby and names the baby Parker.

Dates in the family

We called our daughter Sophie because my sister and my husband's sister both have Sophie as a second name (is that also a coincidence?). My daughter then died (suddenly and unexpectedly) the day of my sister's (of the middle name Sophie) birthday and the day my sister in law (of the middle name Sophie) gave birth to her 3rd child. (Our second child was born on the birthday of my sister-in-law's first child - also odd). Shitty dates, shitty story but a big coincidence... ?

Nice to meet you. Oh, I sold you my house 11 years ago.

In 2008, my family sold our house to a single man in Royal Oak, Michigan. We move back to Texas and have since moved to Nashville. Just this week (Sept 2019), my boss introduced me to a contact at a potential partner that he thought I should speak with further. The man was from Michigan. You know where this is going now. After exchanging pleasantries, I offered that I had lived in Michigan years ago. Then Royal Oak. Then the specific street. Then the specific house number. Lo and behold, the aforementioned business contact is the very guy I sold my house to 11 year ago.
