“Unbelievable Coincidences: 72 Unexpected Encounters That Prove It’s a Small World!”
I did my bachelors in the US. [There was a] person that I had one class with in my freshman year, but never really talked to. Our interaction was limited to awkwardly white man smiling at each other when we walked by each other occasionally.
I graduate, move to London for my master’s.
My new uni is pretty elitist, top college usually reserved for a very narrow range of professionals, I have no idea how I got there. It was pure randomness.
As I leave my first day orientation, I walk by that same f*****g guy in the hallway. And all we do is white people awkward smile at each other.
My father moved to a small town in rural Midwest in 2000 from the southern part of the US. Prior to that, he lived his whole life in Europe, both eastern and western but is originally of Slavic descent.
When he moved to this new Midwestern town, he started looking up Slavic last names (not many given the size of this place) to find new friends and started calling them. One of the people he called shared the name of someone he worked with when he lived in Eastern Europe back in the early 90s.
He didn’t think much of it because there are a lot of common names in Eastern Europe. But the guy then told him that his occupation was the same as the person he knew with the same name. After probing further, it turned out that that this actually was his colleague, and that they both somehow ended up in the same tiny a*s middle-of-nowhere Midwestern town, and came there under the same exact circumstances.
