Weird, Uncanny or just coincidental moments? - Page 2

On one of my trips back home to Bombay, India after a Spring semester at UT, a friend of mine picked me up at the airport at 1am on a Friday night/Saturday morning. We headed straight to one of the many clubs in the city. We have a pretty crazy nightlife back there(think NY). I'm in my school t-shirt which is burnt orange(team colour) with a huge longhorn logo on the front. This guy comes up to me, totally wasted, screaming GO HORNS!!!

He was born and raised somewhere in Texas and on a study abroad program visiting India for the first time. He got such a kick out of it!

I graduated from UTI Phoenix campus about 4 years ago, and just the other day I ran into a guy here in albuquerque that I used to attend UTI with - we had a few classes together. Anyway, turns out we both work at auto dealers here in Albuquerque, and they are right next door to each other!! Weird!

You think that's weird? (the dog story) This is a coincidence: the same thing happened to me today. My bro and dad went to buy a car and the people they were buying the car from had a dog that looked strangely like our dog, almost exactly. We named our dog Holly. That dog's name was Holly... weird huh?
I've had so many coincidences happen to me recently that I don't really believe in coincidences any more, I think there's something more to them.
I could start to list them but they are really long...

That is pretty odd. Just like mine too. I'm starting to not believe in coincidences anymore too.

Thats amazing. It's a shame that you had to go through all that but now look.

I was born in Buffalo, NY, lived there for 8 years until I moved to Biloxi, MS in 1994. I went to Drake Elementary school in North Tonawanda, NY until the
2nd grade when I moved. Anyways..I work at a hotel down here in Gulfport, MS now, well a few months ago a couple came to check in..just passing through the area on a lil trip around the country, and it turns out the lady was a teacher at my elementary school I went to in NY...she wasn't my teacher but she knew my teacher..and she lived really close to where I lived. Just really weired because I've never met anyone from up there down here...none the less that taught at my elementary school and lived buy where I did.

I was at a conference in Florida while I was working for a private university in Kansas. I got onto a shuttle bus that was taking people back to their hotels and the guy I sat next to graduated from the university I was working at. He even knew some of the people that I worked with.
