Coincidences happen almost every day of our lives, but sometimes we experience events that go way beyond coincidence and go straight into some “cosmic fate” kind of shit. In this collection of stories, these million to one stories get weird, and while a few are long, they’re fascinating proof that the world works in mysterious ways.
I have dwarfism, and a third nipple.
I like to think I’m the only 3-nippled dwarf in the world.
Edit: Sorry, I have been informed that the correct terminology is a Triple-Nippled Little Person, or a Trip-Nip Pipsqueak, or an Itty Bitty Triple Titty

Was on a commercial flight that flew right past the space shuttle when it was taking off. Had a perfect view out the window.

I was in downtown San Francisco once when I saw a guy across the street that looked very much like a guy named Bennet that lived in my dorm, Yosemite Hall, back in college, 10 years before and 100s of miles away. But I couldn’t quite be sure if it was him. Then, out of no where, a girl came running across the street and straight up to the guy and said, “Hey Bennet, remember me? I used to live upstairs from you in Yosemite Hall!”

ME! Falling nearly 70 feet out of a tree to land at the feet of a retired cardiologist that was out for a jog. He was doing CPR within seconds of me hitting the ground. Of all the doctors in the world that could have been out for a jog, I fell in front of the one that worked on hearts and retired just a few short weeks prior to my wreck.

I once texted my workout buddy “shoulders today?” And right when I sent it my phone spontaneously spat out the text right back to me as if he had sent it. Thought that was weird but then my buddy told me it was him. Like we legit texted the same exact text to each other letter for letter at the exact same time.
And yes we did do shoulders that day

I went to South Africa in 1988 with my father who was a research cardiologist at the time. The trip was for a symposium on the side effects of a blood thinning drug on which he had just completed a large study.
During one of the breaks, we drove about 2-3 hours out of Johannesburg to a wine region to tour a winery. Joining our party were the two other cardiologists currently conducting research on the drug. One of the doctors was from Italy, and one was from Venezuela.
At lunch, an older woman at the table next to ours passed out and fell on the floor hitting her head fairly soundly. It was lucky that she happened to be sitting next to three doctors who could attend her while we waited for the ambulance. What was crazy was that when they were talking to her about her medical history, she was taking the medicine they were studying.
It turns out the dosage she had been prescribed was dangerously high which could cause black outs and unconsciousness. I’m not sure what the odds are off passing out in rural Africa while sitting next to the three foremost medical experts in the world (and those experts having come from three other continents) on your blood thinner’s side effects, but I’d imagine the odds are pretty low.

I was born on June 3, as was my grandfather… and so was his father.

This happened last night: at a dive bar in Brooklyn , the bartender and I were bored so we invented a game that involved throwing a nerf football from one end of the bar in attempt to hit the back wall (it was dead so nobody was in harms way).
After an awful throw , the bartender runs to retrieve the football, and out of the blue yells “go deep”, then proceeds to fire a 100mph spiral directly at me. I dodge out of pure fear and the football crashes into my pint of beer and shot glass.
Both items go flying at full speed off the bar into the ground making a very loud shattering sound. We both go “omg” and he walks up to clean the mess when he holds his hands over his mouth in pure terror, looks me in the eyes and says “I killed a mouse!”
Sure as shit under the broken pint glass, dead middle of the floor laid the fresh corpse of a mouse who just so happen to be running from one side of the bar to another and the pint glass landed exactly, directly on him when it flew off the bar.
We are convinced this was a mouse “final destination moment”. We’re still in disbelief.

I saw a gargoyle fall from the perimeter of a lofty steeple.
Instead of smashing on the sidewalk or hurting someone walking below, it “miraculously” landed in dense shrubbery in the churchyard – completely unscathed.

Went to a humongous metal festival this summer in Sacramento. Something like 60k people. They were raffling off a guitar that all of the bands there had signed (dozens of big acts, SOAD, GWAR, Alice in Chains to.name a few).
At the end of the last day as we were leaving, a guy from our group said he wanted to buy a last minute ticket before they did the drawing and that hed meet us back at the cars. About 45 minutes later he calls us and says to come back, he needs an escort. Walk up and this motherfucker is holding the damn guitar.
Not exactly one in a million, but it sure felt like watching somebody hit the jackpot on a lottery ticket.

• I was forced off the highway at 70 mph when someone merged into my lane, my car did two complete 360s, I rolled backwards into a ditch, and I was fine. My car was fine too, just had to reinflate my tires.
• I won $30k on a scratch ticket a year after that.
• Six years after that, I won on Jeopardy.
• Five years after that, I posted a story on Reddit that went viral and I sold it to Warner Brothers.
◦ EDIT: for those asking, see /r/romesweetrome
• It’s been seven years since that, so some insane shit is going down this year.
