The house that I was born into and moved from when I was 6 was on the corner of 2 streets. 29 years later, I met my now-husband - his name was the name of one of the streets, and the street he lived on was the name of the other street (but in a different state) *cure eerie music*...

Once I was giving advice on MFP about hotel choices in a city half-way around the world. I told my horror story of one hotel, the OP recognised it and we realised we were co-workers and lunch buddies, and were posting from 3 offices apart on the same floor in the same building.

What are your weird coincidences?

    My husband's parents share a birthday...they were born exactly four years apart. My husband's older brother and younger sister also share a birthday, seven years apart. The siblings' birthday is also their parents' wedding anniversary. Makes it easy for me to remember special occasions, since there are so few dates to keep in mind.

    The three long term relationships I've had were all with women named Amanda, one of which I married.

    Someone I'm fond of is pretty far away, has a strange condition I have .. idk how rare it is (I think it is though) but I find that as a big coincidence.

    Lots of coinciding birthdays in my circle.

    When my stepmom was pregnant with my little sister, I said I wanted her to be born on my birthday. Stepmom DID go into early labor on my birthday, but little sis was born two days later. So close...

    Many years later, that same sister's first born son was born on the same day as my older son.

    When pregnant with my youngest son, we (hubby and I) decided he would be named (hubby's name), Jr. He was born on hubby's birthday (totally not planned, lol--we get that question a lot).

    My brother and I were both born on the 13th of different months, my parents were both born on the 3rd of different months, and both of my kids were born at 10:14 am (almost 3 years apart).

    My daughter and HER daughter are both born on 14th October. 17 years apart.

    Every guy I ever dated when I was younger, plus my ex husband, plus my father are all Leo's. Now I'm with someone who's NOT a Leo and I've never been happier or more at peace.

    I was hit by a car, not far from my Mom's house in Philly when I was 13. A woman came out of a house and put a blanket on me until the rescue came. Years later, I bought the house next door to her. After a few months I realized all this and asked her if it was her. At first she didn't remember, but then she did and it was her. I was glad to have a chance to finally thank her.

    That is cool!

    My daughter's birthday is the 11th, my son's is the 12th, mine is the 13th, and my ex's is the 15th. I know it's not a date, but I always thought the 10:14 time of birth fit in there.

    Another birth day coincidence here ; My Mom and brother are March 11th, My Father is Sept 11th, My sister is Dec 11th, I am Oct 11th, My daughter is April 11th, my nephew is May 11th, my niece is July 11th. No grandbabies yet but another 11th wouldn't surprise me
