Sure, we can live our lives telling the people around us "you look dumb" or "you stink" but that lacks panache. It's when you hear someone say "nice hair, you look like a dropped lollipop" or some crap that makes you go alright, that was one of those rare and spicy insults that hit different. People may not be good at reading, writing, being kind, driving or doing their jobs. But damn they're good at insults. Holy crap.
rare
The world is big and there's a lot going on, so almost paradoxically, a whole lot of rare and unlikely things happen. Not just that, many of us have some extremely rare quality or achievement that no one would have thought about before we mentioned it. (Side note, boy howdy do people have some unconventional diseases.) We're all subject to weird goings-on, so naturally we also have stories of strange events we can't explain logically.

We're supposed to believe that every weird occurrence has a totally logical explanation. However, sometimes we find ourselves in insane coincidences, rare and unlikely moments, or have some strange, unexplainable life moment that just freaks us out so much that it's impossible to find a satisfactory explanation. Sometimes things just happen and we have to deal with that.
So much stuff is happening constantly that it's statistically certain that some unlikely occurrences and rare moments will slip though. Getting to see and learn about crazily unlikely junk happening gives life some spice. Weird coincidences are fun to see, and it's sort of encouraging to know that anything could happen.

These unlikely moments vary in their likelihood as well as their severity. Sure, a guy amazingly surviving an explosion and a picture of four dogs all taking a dump at the same time are on different levels completely, but you can't say they're not both rare. There's just something so cool-feeling about unlikely moments that go against all odds.
