Coincidences and moments of truly unbelievable random chance can make us feel truly alive now and then. Well, either that or it signifies the fact that the simulation we’re in is capable of breaking down from time to time.
So, with that unsettling thought aside, please enjoy these 13+ coincidences that made us questions everything.
“Can’t be coincidence!”
The dog looks so extremely excited to have been immortalized in the form of this excited-sounding vanity plate!
“My friend was stopped by some tourists to take a photo of them in front of an advertisement for Tape Face in Las Vegas… My friend IS Tape Face.”
Actually, I’m not sure if this is a coincidence or just plain idiocy on behalf of the two people in the picture!
“Check hairlines.”
Well, that is just an unfortunate airline to have chosen right there! Look, he’s on his holidays, so just leave him alone!
“Saw this at a bar I went to today (look at the serial number).”
When you start seeing life advice in the urinals in a bar, it might be time to get help…no matter how useful that advice may appear!
“While trying on a pair of pants that I’m halfway through making, I noticed a flower… Pattern placement problems are real.”
Oh, dear! This is why planning is very important! Also, my knowledge of sewing is so terrible, I’m hard pushed to guess whether this is something you can fix, or if you’re stuck with these pants like this?
D**n…
Vending machines are champions of misfortune. Never play the odds when it comes to a vending machine, as you’re more likely to win on a slot machine.
Fork You!
This would be one of those moments that would make you just sigh and think, “Does the world just really hate me this much?”
Ed Sheeran’s School Photo Shows He Was In Hogwarts.
Yep, this is a photo of singer/songwriter and generally bland bloke Ed Sheeran’s school days, in which him and his two friends appeared to be perfectly cast for the Harry Potter franchise.
“Fantastic coincidence.”
Well, I did guess that Gene Simmons was a big fan of ice cream. I mean, what else would that tongue be used for… Oh, for God’s sake, keep it clean guys!
“Really bad billboard placement.”
I know that it’s far from the point, but, one astute person did ponder the question, “Why [did they decide] that Spearmint Rhino was a good name?” And, now that they mention it, it does seem a little strange.
Another Glitch In The Matrix!
This picture tastes like a headache. I keep expecting Agent Smith to come flying on to the screen to do some terrible CGI kung fu.
“Chance encounter?”
Why do all of the best things happen to other people? Christ, I wish I was standing next to Andrew Scott more than anything… Anyway, moving on!
Perfect Placement!
Do you think they knew? I mean, they must have been aware of this, right? Surely!
“My friend met this guy in a bar in San Diego wearing the same T-shirt and drinking the exact same cocktail!!! What are the odds?”
You really can smell the alcohol on this picture and I love it. From the array of drinks in hand, to the drunken expressions, to the face that it is ever so slightly out of focus, it is perfection.
“Clever building placement.”
This is either an unbelievable coincidence, or the owners of Fresh are geniuses! The arrow from Subway is even pointing there!
“Got into a car crash while I was in the passenger’s side, the first thing I see when I get out the car is Amelia Earhart’s quote!”
“Thanks, Amelia, but that advice is a little late!”
“Sir, who are you talking to?”
“Amelia Earhart!”
“I think he has a concussion.”
“My girlfriend’s rabbit, Banjo, has a smaller rabbit on his nose!”
Some say that, within that, there is an even smaller rabbit, and an even smaller rabbit within that one. And, inside the smallest rabbit, there is a tiny duck that no one talks about.
They’re Multiplying!
I’d be very wary of these two old ladies bumping into one another when getting off the train. If they touch, they could tear apart the fabric of the universe! I’ve seen Doctor Who , I know how this works!
“This bird landed on the page about itself!”
I love this so much. It’s like the bird is suddenly realizing that it is famous. In my head, I’d be waiting for it to sign the picture, but that is because I live in a cartoon.
“Took the most epic picture, the fire decided to join us in our peace sign.”
I can just hear that fire chatting like every frat bro ever, “Hey dude, let me get in on that picture yeah? Sick party, right? Have you seen Tiger King , it’s messed up brah!”
“They pay me to build pipes, not to move rocks.”
This pipe was clearly installed by a man after my own heart. I mean, why do a job properly, when you can do it lazily?!
“Got a text from a co-worker saying she was going to be late to work… Ran over a PB&J sandwich.”
But…why? Why would anyone ever leave a PB&J sandwich on the floor of a park? Without the picture, this would indeed sound like the most ridiculous and implausible excuse to skip work of all time.
“LulaRoe strikes again with the random placement of Santa’s hand.”
This kind of makes me you realize why you shouldn’t get involved with multi-level marketing companies… They ain’t good.
“This Broken Sign Is Still Accurate!”
Aside from the obvious here, I just want to take a second to acknowledge that the slogan “hot stuff cool prices” could be the single worst company slogan that I’ve ever heard.
“You’re Welcome!”
“What does that sign say mate?”
“I can’t read it from here.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll get a closer look now.”
“I’m visiting the USA for the first time: There was a glitch in the Matrix yesterday as I stood in line at the MET, NY.”
I don’t think that I would have been able to resist turning around to give a fake message to my past self!
“Years ago my brother lost his cellphone on a roller coaster. We figured there was no way to know when. Then he saw the ride photo…”
Someone asked the person who posted this if they took the picture to the attendants, and they responded: “We did. After they stopped laughing […] They found it and other than a screen crack it worked!!”
“My puppy had an accident last night, amazingly not a drop hit the floor. I’m not even mad, that’s amazing.”
Apparently, your puppy is now flip-flop trained. This is incredibly difficult to do. You’re also going to need to invest in a few more flip-flops for the sake of your foot odor.
“This man matches his car.”
That age-old joke of dogs looking like their owners and vise versa has now been one-upped by this madman.
“Rachel has the perfect name for a dentist.”
Even though Pullin is the last thing you would want Rachel to B doing, this is still pretty great.
“Product placement.”
Ever time I face a new bag of popcorn, I tell myself that surely my teeth and gums are too strong, too fortified to be breached by a simple kernel. Every time I am wrong.
“Found a magnet to go with my kids school picture.”
I heard little Vhash’lok Gul finished top of her class this year! You must be so proud!
“The way my Netflix reminder lined up with the office.”
“I mean, yeah, I’m still here, but I don’t think I want to be anymore…”
“My daughter expresses her personality through her outfit choice.”
Even fairy princesses should know their way around a sword. You never know when trial by combat will be necessary.
“Caught the perfect shot of my mom trying to get the cat out of the tomato garden.”
Like a witch banishing evil spirits from her home, she casts that cat out with her warding stick. This looks like a drawing from a folktale book.
“Wife called to let me know that she took the best Christmas card photo.”
Every expression in this picture is amazing. How are you feeling today? Confused baby, too-excited boy, sadistic Santa, or mortal terror?
“This clay sculpture fell flat on its face, and looks p****d about it.”
In his defense, he looked like he was pretty mad already, so I can’t imagine this helped his mood at all.
“Lottery winner shows up in an emoji mask.”
It’s always best to cover your face when picking up lottery winnings, but sometimes you still want to express how you feel!
“Costco had a deal on for GIANT teddy bears, it turns out they are perfect for the office environment.”
They must be excellent coworkers. A little slow on productivity but they make up for it in helpfulness.
“Our FaceTime froze when my girlfriend’s dog was about to puke on her.”
At least you didn’t have to see it, which means you didn’t have to get in trouble for laughing after.
“My friends first time in the Florida sun. Apparently it was also their first time using spray on sunscreen.”
Just looking at the man on the left has me cringing in pain. That’s not a tan, that’s a red paint job.
“Just moved to Texas. Fitting in perfectly.”
If you can make friends with all these people, you’ll have an army of large vehicles at your disposal whenever you need something moved!
“Ummm what?”
I can just imagine the person in that Nissan sweating profusely, and thinking to themselves, “Don’t panic, it’s all going to be fine, it’s not like they have mirrors or anything.”
“Is this thing supposed to look like me?”
Whenever I see a perpetually grumpy cat I’m always reminded why I’m not a cat person. I’m already busy being anxious over whether or not people like me, I couldn’t take that kind of pressure from my own cat.
“I’m currently with my boyfriend for his first time magnet fishing. This was his first catch!!”
I had never before heard of magnet fishing. I mean, there aren’t many metal fish out there, are there? Oh, God, I’m sorry for that.
