What's the freakiest coincidence you've ever experienced?

My life is one endless series of odd synchronicities.

When I was a kid I would "predict" the next rerun episode of the Simpsons(favorite show at the time) I would watch. Not the next episode shown, so it wasn't like I had memorized the order or anything. Sometimes it would be an episode I would see days later, and in an entirely different part of the country(while on vacation) where the order of the episodes would be totally different. My predictions would always happen the same way, I would be taking a shower, when I would think of a funny scene or line from an episode. But the crazy part is I could NEVER recognize this as a prediction, I would just laugh to myself and then think about something else. But then when the episode came on, I would remember and get goosebumps.

Once I was sitting in my apartment when I was overcome with the urge to hang out with a friend at the dive bar we always go to. Problem was he didn't have a cell, but I was sure I would find him there, so I just hopped in my car and started driving. When I was a block away I suddenly thought "he's left", and I look over to the sidewalk and lock eyes with him as he is walking away from the bar.

Another time I was in my new apartment when I was similarly overcome with the odd and very strong urge to finish cleaning my old one. It was odd mainly because I had a whole week left to finish cleaning and I am a die-hard procrastinator. So I drive over, in a torrential rain storm, and when I get there I find a group of.. ummm.. lets call them "colorful street friends", who were the main reason I had moved away to begin with (and not told them), standing in the rain angrily holding down the buzzer to my old place.

And just this last holiday, as I was on the long drive home I started randomly thinking about this girl I used to be friends with when I was around 3-7yrs old. And how our friendship ended because she entered school and turned into a total b-word and made fun of me at her birthday party with all her new school friends. And I was thinking about what I would say to her if I met her again(I hadnt since that horrible birthday party 20+ years ago). And, of course, on the last day visiting my parents before I went back home, there she was behind us in the checkout line at the grocery store. (I said nothing, just waved)
