“Mind-Blowing Coincidences: 24 Stories That Will Make You Question Fate!”
One day, I got my bank statement. I was just about to open it when I realised that the glue on the envelope had adhered to another bank envelope. The two statements were firmly fixed together, meaning that they must have gone through all the postage procedures as one.
I carefully eased the envelopes apart, so that I would be able to put the other person’s back into the post. Then I saw to whom the letter was addressed. It was Linda (I knew instantly because she actually had an entirely unique surname). I couldn’t help but smile delightedly.
The bank was one of the giant high-street banks, and Linda’s surname begins with an “A” (mine begins with a “P”; it’s not even adjacent in the alphabet!): there are nearly 230,000 people in Brighton. What are the chances?
I wrote a little note on the back on Linda’s envelope (joking that I now knew all her financial secrets), before I put it back in the post. She phoned me in amazement the next day. We got to talking, one thing led to another, and Linda ended up happily working for me for at least 10 years-until we retired.
This happened recently.
I went back to my alma mater to watch a football game. After the game, i was supposed to spend the night at a friend’s parents’ house. We got separated so he texted me the address – only problem was he messed up the street number. I then spent a good ten minutes trying to convince the woman that lived in the house next door that i knew her son and we were friends so she should let me inside. It was very embarrassing when i realized my mistake.
