A couple of years ago, I was walking to a mates house in the morning and a dog came bounding up to me. I said good morning to the dogs owner (quite an attractive woman) and had a little chat and then me and my mate drove 8 hours in the car to Edinburgh. We were there for the weekend.
That night, in Scotland, we went to a bar and I saw the attractive woman with the dog! So, I went up and said hello and she didn't recognise me. I told her that we had an encounter that morning in London and what a coincidence it was to see her. She replied that it was her identical twin sister who lives in London and she lives in Edinburgh!
Anyway we swapped numbers and remained acquaintances and that's become one of her favourite stories to tell people.18 -

The twin sister in Edinburgh didn't have a dog herself, but now I wish the dogs were identical sisters too!Curb_It said:

30 years or so ago I worked for a summer in an American kids camp in Malibu.
One of the ladies working there lived in Bromley like I did.
Coincidentally the first line of her address (house number and road name) was an exact match to my address! I hadn't realised there were two roads in Bromley with the same name until then.

Probably a better one than the above is my wife who worked for a little company on the Old Kent Road.
One evening she collected her nan and was driving her home via the Old Kent Road (nan lived in Waterloo).
My wife pointed out to her nan where she was working and it turned out her nan had worked in the same building making military uniforms during WW2.
So the nan ended up doing a tour of the building one week and appearing in the company newsletter!7 -
I may have told this elsewhere years ago………
But year or so after getting our first dog Bailey, a Facebook friend said she had a mate who had a sibling of Bailey and wanted to ask me about a training issue and could she send me a friend request.Coincidentally she also had a passing interest in Charlton!
After chatting over several days about the dogs the subject changed to Charlton and how she became attached to the club, bearing in mind she lives on the west coast of Scotland.
Explaining her father who was at that time visiting her at home had played for Charlton I obviously asked the name of the former player.I’m not sure you would of heard of him came the reply but his name is “Sailor Brown”8 -

That is quite possibly the most bonkers unlikely coincidence I have ever heard in my life.

Stalker alert!PrincessFiona said:On holiday in St Lucia earlier this year, we went on a boat trip with about 8 others from our small section of the hotel. Turned out they lived 'between Swanley and Orpington', so I correctly said 'Oh, Crockenhill then'. So I went on the say 'You'll know Joydens Wood then' and they did - because he lived had lived in the next road to me growing up and we were a couple of years apart at Joydens Wood Junior School
Later on in the holiday they mentioned they had a place on a golf resort in Murcia - so we mentioned we'd rented a place on a golf course in Murcia a few years ago - and it turned out to be 4 doors up from theirs.

Bump.SoundAsa£ said:The only time I ever played golf I had a caddy.
I was of course absolutely beyond hopeless.
At the end of the round I jokingly turned to him and said “You must be the worst Caddy in the world.”
He without the slightest hesitation replied, “ I don’t think so Sir, that would be too much of a coincidence.”3 -

I do hope the oldest kid isn’t about to be run overDanepak said:A mate of mine here in Auckland is originally from Scunthorpe. His dad still lives in Scunthorpe and goes to a gym where they have treadmills with screens on. You can then choose locations all around the world where you want to run (e.g. Central Park in New York). As his son lives in Auckland, he chose a park here in Auckland as it was listed as an option.He was amazed when he saw footage of his son and two grandkids appearing in the footage (I can't upload the video, so attaching a screenshot instead).
