In 2008 I spent Christmas on a cruise ship in New Zealand and Australia. When I was on the ship, I met a cute guy named Paul and found out that he lived in LA (a few hours north of my home). We hung out the whole time on the ship and when we got home we instantly started dating. For six months we commuted back and forth from our houses to hang out every weekend. Then six months later, he moved in to a guesthouse two doors down from my house!! We dated for a year and never spent over a week apart from each other.

The weirdest part was that he remembers seeing me in LAX airport before we even left the states for the trip! Each of our families got on two different planes and without knowing, both headed to New Zealand. My family arrived in New Zealand and ended up staying in the same hotel as Paul'​s family where he saw me once again! Five days later we got on the cruise ship where we finally got to meet each other.

In February I went to Disneyland with my friend, her boyfriend, Tony and his two friends, Andrew and Jaime that I had never met before. Tony and his two friends are in a band called Pierce the Veil and I heard of them because I have a friend, Joanna that told me her uncle used to be in the band.

Anyway, during our day at Disneyland I told Andrew I knew their old band member'​s niece. He told me that it must have been their old drummer'​s niece and that it was such a small world. It wasn'​t until I posted pictures from Disneyland on Facebook a day later that Joanna commented on a picture asking me what I was doing with her uncle. I found out that her uncle is actually Andrew!! I had been talking to Andrew all day about how weird it was that I knew their old drummer'​s niece when it was really his niece I know! Not only that - but I found out I work with his ex-girlfriend at the Apple Store! Weird stuff huh?

In the summer of 2007 I traveled to Europe accompanied by my family. One day my mom and I went shopping at a market near St. Mark'​s Square in Venice. The crowds were fierce but I was determined to leave with some European treasures. I was maneuvering my way through the crowd brushing peoples shoulders, following it up with a constant sorry. Suddenly I bumped into this girl named Taylor who went to my high school in San Diego freshman year! I hadn'​t seen her in two years. She had told everyone she moved away to Australia, but I caught her in a busy square in Venice. What a coincidink!

For the first semester of my senior year (I graduated '​08) I moved to Thousand Oaks, CA to play hockey. While there I attended Newbury Park High School and stayed pretty much under the radar.

Last week I was in Cabo on vacation. My friends and I wanted to check out the nightlife so we found some kids to split a cab with and headed into town. We started talking to these guys who were from the L.A area, and one said he was from Thousand Oaks. I asked him what high school he went to and he calmly said Newbury Park High.

We were all a few drinks deep and I was feeling great. So naturally, I freaked out in the cab and told him I also went to Newbury Park High! I started name dropping the few faces I knew and we actually knew the same people! What a small world to have shared a cab in Cabo with a kid I went to high school with!

It'​s stories like this that made me want to create this website. I hope many people out there experience coincidence like this and take notice at what a small world we live in!

I think this is so weird/amazing... One day I went over to my boyfriend'​s place and in his room was a robe that caught my attention. It caught my attention because my grandmother gave the same exact robe to my brother. I asked where my boyfriend got it and he said a thrift store, and I'​m pretty sure my grandmother got the same robe from when she went to Japan years ago. So, on another day I brought the matching robe to his place and we both wore them, it was so funny.

so i work at a gym and there are 4 other branches of this gym in the area. every tuesday i work and every tuesday this hottie i have a crush on comes in at the same time. a few tuesdays ago i was off but stopped by my gym to see my crush (since hes always there) but he wasnt then i was asked to cover a shift at a different club in the area. the first person to come in on my shift was the hottie i have a crush on! what a coincidink that he went to a different club at a different time of day the one day i was at a different club working a different shift!

Summer of 2007 I went on a cruise to Alaska with my family. There were a bunch of high school kids around my age, so we all hung out the whole time. This one guy named Scott caught my eye the first day, so we hung out and ended up being pretty much inseparable the rest of the trip. By the end of the cruise we were head over heels for each other, but there was one problem... I had to go back to California and he lives in Virginia. When I got home school started, and I had plans to go to Virginia in a few months. There was a girl who had just moved here who sat next to me in English, and I overheard her saying she was from Virginia. When I asked her where in Virginia she simply said, "​You wouldn'​t know where it is, it'​s such a small town."​ Low and behold she and the guy I was in love with were from the same little town and knew ALL of the same people, they even knew who each other were. The girl is now one of my best friends. To make things weirder, Scott and I went our separate ways, and he now has a girlfriend... THAT MY BEST FRIEND KNOWS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

I am from a small suburban town in central Massachusetts. I was down in Venice, FL visiting my grandparents over my spring break and we went to a popular restaurant in the area called Sharky'​s Pier. We sat down and our waitress came over to take our order. She was very friendly and we all got into talking about where we were all vacationers from. She found out I was from Groton and my grandparents were from Chelmsford (another town in MA). She then went on to tell us how she has relatives from Groton! A random restaurant in Venice, Florida with a waitress with family members from my small hometown where my graduating class at a regional high school was only 200 kids! At that same lunch there was a family sitting just a couple tables over from Chelmsford, where my grandparents are from, who lived just down the street. What a small world!

I'​d like to preface this by saying this could be the funniest and most important "​coincidi​nk"​ of all time.
It happened about two years ago during my freshman orientation for UMass. Keep in mind my main goal at orientation was to find a sweet roommate. That'​s when I met Danny Abrahams from Massachusetts. So me and Danny got to talking and eventually he asks me, "​Do you know anybody from your high school who'​s coming to UMass?"​
Being from New York, I only knew one person. I replied, "​I do. I know one girl but she is the filthiest, most disgusting person I'​ve ever met. She'​s huge, hairy and smells like ass every single day."​
Danny laughed and said, "​Wow that'​s weird. I know someone from my summer camp in Mass. who'​s probably ten times worse than whoever you'​re describing. You don'​t understand this girl is the nastiest of the nasty."​
After arguing for the next five minutes about which girl was more hideous, Danny asked me, "​What'​s her name?"​
I said, (name changed for private purposes) "​Gertude."​
"​Mueller??!"​, Danny said.
In a crazy twist, we were talking about the same person who we knew from a great distance apart.
We proceeded to laugh for the next 20 minutes. We'​ve been roommates ever since.
Thank you Gertrude.

My friend and I were on spring break and decided we would take a trip from Villanova to Amherst to visit some friends at UMass. Upon our arrival, we met all of our friend'​s roommates and began to talk about our college experiences. Once my friend'​s roommate found out we went to Villanova, he said that he was familiar with the school because his younger sister was a freshman there. He then texted his sister to let her know that he was hanging out with two juniors from Villanova. She then told him that she only knew a few juniors, one of whom was named Colin (my roommate). The kid from UMass then asked me who my roommate was back at Nova. I replied, "​Colin"​ and it turned out to be the same Colin whom this kid was great friends with growing up. Colin also drove this kid'​s sister home from Villanova for our spring break. After finding out that my roommate was this kid'​s childhood friend, we all were surprised and laughing at how small a world it can be. What a Coincidink!

Side Note: UMass is the best party school ever, especially for Techno Tuesdays.
