Yesterday on my drive back to Chicago from Michigan I stopped to use the restroom and get gas at a random gas station near Indiana . As I went to put my card in I noticed someone else’s card was left in there so I took it out to take it inside and something told me to look at the name . When I looked at it I couldn’t believe it was my old roommate from colleges card ! I called him and asked if he was still in Chicago and he said no he was on his way back to Michigan and I asked if he had stopped to get gas near Indiana and he said yes about an hour before . Come to find out he had left his card in there and didn’t even realize and some how I went to the same exact pump and was the one to find it ! How odd is that ! We hadn’t talked in months and it’s just so weird ! Then when I was in Florida last month I had asked to speak to the manager at the resort because of an issue I had and it was literally his best friend who I had no clue had even moved to Florida let alone was the manager of the resort my work conference was at !!!! What is going on !!!
