coincidence

Just because something is statistically improbable doesn't mean there's no way of it happening. When you consider how many people there are living their own individual lives, the possibility of something improbable happening between them, at least once, becomes a near certainty. Chance is a real mofo. And in case you wanted to see how unlucky people can get, here are some more stories.

As bad as things get, which they do very often, we're still impressed by incredible coincidences that just seem to happen all the time. It's not every day that you meet someone who played such an important role in your past. This is the stuff that hearts were warmed from. If you're in the market for some more wholesome stuff, here's a guy realizing his neighbor Gene is cooler than he expected.

Surprisingly, a few of these people actually got real, concrete answers to the strange things they witnessed. The rest are just left to imagine why they saw some crazy unexplainable phenomenon. Most of the time the world makes sense. Then there's the other times.

Most wrong numbers end in a very awkward "sorry" or a "you're not my son!" But sometimes, the stars line up just right and some stranger magic happens. Good thing these people didn't pay attention to their dialing, because without their mistake we wouldn't have these wonderful gems right here.

Here are some times things almost worked out, but instead ended with an "I guess they tried." Maybe things will be less mockable next time.

Life is doling out bad hands, but luckily your number doesn't come up every day. Here's some highly varied "bad times" other people are having.

It's like the world is one great big dad joke. God bless these people and their literal-minded foolishness.

Just a whole bunch of quality signs. Some are mistakes, some where planned. Just don't expect to learn any meaningful information.

Life is a series of attempts and failures punctuated by a few successes. Here's to those sad and ironic attempts that just didn't make the cut.

The coincidences here are incredible and devastating!

Have you ever given terrible news to a suitcase?

Weird how things have a tendency to look like other things...

Buckle up, cause this Twitter thread's a direct shot to the feels. We're grateful this ex-U.S. soldier was comfortable sharing such a touching story. The universe had to have played a part in reuniting these two. Brahmin is clearly the real, undeniable MVP. 

When it's meant to be, it'll be, guys. These two crossed paths QUITE some time ago, and low and behold, they ended up uniting to spend the rest of their lives together! Something of a crazy coincidence, real life fairytale kind of moment, indeed!
