I’ve seen a few, too few to mention , Here is todays :-
I was at the hospital ( victoria ) to have bloods taken today, the phlobotonist lady ( nurse ) was chatting away, as they do,when I noticed a forearm length tattoo of a dark haired lady on her arm . Anyway she said it was a romany ( gipsy ) lady, she was interested in anything romany so the chat progressed onto horse drawn fancilly painted gipsy caravans, or older versions of campervans 😜
Anyway, on driving home I was stopped at the traffic lights to turn right onto Robert Adam drive Kirkcaldy, when coming from the other direction was a long low loader trailer Upon which was two fancilly painted gipsy caravans, ( no horses ) something I haven’t seen before, well not that I can remember. Weird 🤔
Anyone else encountered weird coincidences 🤷‍♂️
 
When my son was younger he found a phone in the local supermarket car park. It wasn't locked so the wife had a look at the contacts for clues to the owner. There was only one entry...'Mum and Dad' On phoning the number she was amazed to find herself talking to her own mother. Turns out it was her brother's brand new phone and he'd only had time to enter one number in contacts.

As Brian Potter once remarked, “They’ll be tarmacing our drives and selling us pegs next”
 
I was back home for a visit a couple of years ago and had been trying to get in touch with a mate of mine whom I hadn't seen in ages. His old number wasn't working and didn't know anyone else that knew him. I was out for a wander and walking down Easter Road. I stopped at the crossroad and saw a lamppost or a pole that had the number 22 on it, his lucky number. And then he proceeds to walk right past me at that exact moment. Neither of us lived that close to Easter Road, so a definite weird coincidence.
 
A mate of mine was in a lift in an office where he had recently started work.

One of those phones that are in lifts in case you get stuck started ringing, and wag that he is, he answered it.

It was someone looking for his boss in the unrelated job in another company he had previously left.
 
When preparing to get on a helicopter to Shetland from a drill ship off the Faroes, the OIM shook hands with us all and said “see you all in 3 weeks lads.” One wag replied “not if I win the lottery.” The OIM said “you’ve more chance of being struck by lightning.” Our plane from Sumburgh was struck by lightning on approach to Aberdeen.

Taking of the lottery, a fella I worked with put the same numbers on every week. He just got married when the Wednesday draw started. He and his new missus decided once a week was enough with other things they needed to spend on so he stuck to Saturday only.

His numbers came up the first Wednesday draw
:coffee1:
 
Another lottery story.
A couple of years ago me and my brother (who lives down south) got four numbers on the lottery and both won £164 on the same day.

Roughly about 10 years ago, had an appointment at the bank, i was looking to get a better deal on my mortgage. Got chatting to the guy and he was a hibs fan, and a couple of days later it was a cup final at Hampden. We got chatting in his office, as i was leaving he said, “maybe see you at the match” and started laughing. Yeah, i said and laughed while saying there was only about 20,000 odds hibs fans going….
I go through the turnstiles and he was standing right there waiting on his dad coming through right behind me.
 
In the 1990s/2000s I had a season ticket in the East stand, even though I was living in Leeds and was only usually able to get to three or four games a season. On my rare visits I got to know some of the guys who had seats near to mine. Anyway, one day my mum (who lived in Edinburgh) was chatting to the postman. Noticing he was wearing a Hibs woolly hat, she said "Oh my son's a Hibee, he lives in Leeds but he's got a season ticket." And the postie says to her "I know that guy - he has the seat next to mine".
 
Played for a fitba team over here about 10 years ago named 'Pipers FC' after the Scottish pub that sponsored us.
A couple of months ago, four of us ex players got together for a game of golf. We hadn't been together for years.
Half way round we were looking for one guys baw and found another ball in the rough.....It had 'Piper 4' as the logo.
bizarre.

There's a really good one I watched on an old BBC programme where a book seller was setting up his stall when an old lady came over and started having a look. As she was looking she picked up a book and said it was the same as the book she always read as a child and she had to buy it. Then when she opened the book up inside were drawings and writing that she had done as a child. It was in fact her book. The book had vanished during the blitz when her house was completely destroyed . Her family had moved to (i think it was Canada) after the war and she was back here on holiday for the first time since she left all those years ago... this is think happened in the 70s....spooky or what
