When I was little my little brother Jack and I (Wyatt) used to go to a daycare. At the same daycare there were also two brothers named Wyatt and Jack, except Jack was the older one. They also live in the same neighborhood as I do.

Post your weird coincidences, no hate needed if its a repost.

my dad has a ton of these "small world" stories. him and one of his brothers moved into an apartment that these two guys were leasing in steamboat when they were out of high school, but it was a dry year so they decided to move to hawaii after a couple months. In hawaii they met up with another brother (there's six of them) and told them the steamboat situation how they leased from these two guys. Fast forward 8 months and the hawaii brother is in spain about to do running of the bulls and he starts talking to these two guys in the group and it turns out to be the two guys that my dad and the first brother had rented the apartment from back in steamboat.

Another one, one of my dad's roomates when he first got out of college went to france for a year. One day she was at a super busy cafe and there was only one seat open in the whole place so she asks the girl sitting there if she can join her and they get to talking and it turns out that the girl is one my dad dated back in highschool.

small world!

I was talking on the phone with my sister about how loud music damages hearing and i noticed a tiny sticker on the wall so i leaned forward and read it and it said  something like "prolonged listening at loud volumes can cause hearing damage." and i was like whoa. Random hallway at teh university. what are the odds

I'm Nick, and I have a brother john. I know two other families who have brothers who are nick and john. I think one of them has the same middle name as my brother too. Common set of names for brothers?

Broke up with my longtiem gf. Met this girl who was very similar looking and with a very similar personnality. But, she loves riding and music concert lilke, n getting hammered (a lot like me). I was there thinking, if ever i would have had a kid, shed be like this girl. Then she comes over n tells me her name, and her last name is my last name combined with my gf last name. I was just staring at her dumbfounded

I write for my schools paper. Chompo$ found me on NS, saw we both lived in the same place and was about to go to the school I was already at. I'm a junior and he's a freshman so I wouldn't have ever seen him if it weren't for NS, so it was by chance that we ever met. Then, back to writing for the school paper.....I wrote about him and his skiing. I asked if there was a person I could interview who doesn't go to our school so I could have the angle of meeting people you wouldn't normally get a chance to meet, through skiing. Turns out the person I interviewed was sponsored by the same people as Peter Olenick was last year (Peter's my relative). Also, he said his Mom was a rep for Obermeyer when Peter was sponsored by them so she knew him. Then I believe his Mom is a rep for Spyder so knew Peter when he was sponsored by them. Now, he's moved out to Colorado and is training and competing in halfpipe which is mostly what Peter does.


I have a good amount of other weird coincidences, but this is good for now. Haha
