Many people believe that every person’s life was planned before they were even born. There is no escape from fate, so to speak. Whether this is true or not, we are unlikely to know for sure. But one thing is certain: sometimes really strange coincidences happen in our life. In this article, we put together stories that could become the basis for thrilling movies.

My grandpa, my dad, and I were in line waiting to get into a baseball game (big throng funneling through the ticket check gate). As we get to the front of the line, the person ahead of us is having trouble with their ticket. The scanner guy was saying how this guy’s ticket was fake, it had already been scanned. My dad was like, “Hey, we have an extra ticket, Charlie!” Charlie was like, “Oh great, thanks.”
Charlie, the guy who was having trouble with his ticket, is one of my dad’s oldest friends. Who happened to be in the same city as the 3 of us. Who happened to be going to the same baseball game. Who happened to be in line right in front of us. Who happened to have been scalped a bad ticket.
So, the four of us start walking towards our seats, and nobody is acknowledging how crazy all this was. I kept being like, “Guys, this is crazy!” And everyone was like, “Yeah. So anyone want some peanuts?”

I lived in the countryside and commuted to the city to study. One day I was returning home and noticed a key on the ground. It was on the side of the road. An ordinary, unremarkable key, similar to mine. Guess whose key it was?

I had some money on one of my bank cards, saved for a rainy day. At some point, I realized I forgot its pin number. I went to the ATM, dialed 2 wrong pins taken from the depths of consciousness, didn’t try a third time and put the useless plastic on the shelf. There was no commission for card maintenance, while reissuing the card was very expensive.
