23 Coincidences That Made People Question the Fabric of Reality

Ever have someone try to explain away deja vu to you? God, it’s intolerable. First off, on a basic level, shut up. I’m not a gibbering invalid trying to keep people off what I think is going to be the next Titanic. I’m just mentioning a funny little twinge in my brain, not requesting that my most boring friend shield me from any mystery in my life. Secondly, they always start confusing themselves and trail off halfway through, muttering about a “study they have to look up.”

These people should be put on some sort of conversational probation, along with the living piles of wet sock-sand that reply to someone pointing out a funny coincidence with, “It’s not really that unlikely, when you think about it.” Buddy, you’re doing enough thinking about it for the both of us, totally unprompted. 

If you’re someone with wonder in your life, who still appreciates happenstance that feels borderline mystical, you will enjoy the following tales from Redditors who experienced a coincidence so wild it made them question their reality.
