Hopefully, nothing really embarrassing or full of consequences :P can't say I can recall any of those!!
A few that were probably Seinfeld-esque if I can recall them...but here are the weird coincidences that I recall:

1. When I was 12, my younger brother and I went to an amusement park about a 2.5 hr drive from my city; and on one of the rides where I was waiting in line, was a kid from my class back home.

2. When driving back from my Dad's place about 4 hours from where I live, my wife and I stopped about a third of the way through at a restaurant and there was this guy Dave who was a friend of a friend back home, he happened to live in the town we stopped in, and was also visiting his family. Hadn't seen him in a while, so it was a bit surreal.

3. When I got a new job at this one organization in the late 2000s, this one lady joined on there shortly after me, and she was the hiring manager at the place I last interviewed at before that job (and obviously rejected me, but I had no hard feelings, I was happy where I was.)

4. Also around the late 2000s, I watched the news and there was a murder report in another city, in a neighborhood which was normally peaceful; the news crew interviewed one guy who just happened to be an ex-housemate in my city who'd apparently moved there.

5. For Grade 10, I moved from my mom's house to my dad's house in another city, and there was this girl in one of my classes who'd just happened to go to the same school in Grade 1-2 where I went; we were in the same class but didn't remember each other. But she recited all the details of the neighborhood, so I knew she wasn't just making it up.

6. I got on a flight once and saw a former co-worker on the plane. But...even weirder...one time I was in the same airport and I saw an old grade school teacher there, I actually recognized her.

7. When I was in my first year of college/university, I was on the bus going downtown, and this girl who I used to work with part-time in fast food in another city (but we went to different high schools) happened to get on the same bus; she'd moved there also for school.

8. One woman who I worked with in the beginning of the 2010s was about my age, came from the city I was born in (about 5-6 hours drive from where I am now), and she actually grew up on the same street I did!! We could have been near-neighbors.

I know there are probably more, and other posters will likely top my stories, but it is kinda freaky to reflect on ! !! :D

I have a hope that writing in that topic would not be "necro-posting".

I experienced many coincidences since IX 2014. Earlier I had almost no coincidences. My first coincidences were often associated with persons with aucorigias (aucorigia, aucory - my term for ASD and similar disorders like NVLD and SCD).

I experienced big coincidences due to the numbers in codes of psychiatric diagnoses (the diagnoses were: F84.5, F42.2, F21).
First time in my life I received these three (and only these three) diagnoses together 28.4.2015. From the digits in that date 84.5 or 42.2 or 21 can be formed!
Numbers: 84, 42, 21 form a geometrical sequence and first digits in that numbers (2, 4, 8 ) also form a geometrical sequence, sum of first digits is 14.
Second numbers in 21, 42, 84 form another geometrical sequence - 1, 2, 4, sum of second numbers is 7.
Sum of numbers 21, 42, 84 is 147 (21*7).

In 1997, I had a dream about my cat, Samantha, a Siamese, and another cat who looked just like her. In May, 1998, Prince, another Siamese, was born. I had two Lynx point Siamese cats on opposite ends of the age spectrum, newborn Prince and 19 year old Samantha.

I had many coincidences about cats, especially black cats. Today I saw a dead black cat on my backyard.

19.09.2014 I saw (probably dead) black cat which lied on the asphalt road which was not so trafficked (maybe 100 - 200 cars per day). That day I made photographs of Jewish and Catholic (one photography "covered" a part of a Catholic cementery) cementeries, about 11 p.m. I saw posts of a woman with aucory in which there were photographs of Jewish and Catholic cementeries. That woman "wrote" a book, on which first page there was a black image of a cat. I viewed posts of that Aspijka on the same smartphone which I photographed Jewish cementery.

1.09.2016 I saw another dead (and maybe slightly decaying) black cat on ground road, even less trafficked than the asphalt road mentioned earlier.

Just the other evening I started thinking about a webcomic I saw where Knuckles is worried he's having an identity crisis. He's an Australian animal, wears Jamaican-style dreadlocks, speaks with an American accent, and has Mayan ancestors. He then grabs Sonic and cries, "What am I supposed to be?!" Sonic tells him "You're an idiot. Now let go of me." :lol:

Then shortly after I went on wiki, and they had a link to Knuckles Chaotix. I decided to read on up more about Knuckles, and learned they had originally planned to give Knuckles a Jamacian accent and name him "Dreds".

I invented bad, vulgar meanings for names of chemical elements with atomic numbers 33, 42, 51 when I was about 12 - 15 years old. It was sinful, evil and I regret it. These three numbers became coincident for me because of "Tesla arithmetical sequence" (3,6,9) and another sequence which was coincident for me (the geometrical sequence 21, 42, 84).

The atomic numbers of these elements form an arithmetical sequence (33, 42, 51) with common difference 9:
42 - 33 = 9,
51 - 42 = 9.
Sums of digits in numbers 33, 42, 51 are 6:
3+3 = 6,
4+2 = 6,
5+1 = 6.
Arithmetical means of sums of digits in numbers forming 33, 42, 51 sequences are 3:
(3+3):2 = 6:2 = 3,
(4+2):2 = 6:2 = 3,
(5+1):2 = 6:2 = 3.
There are 3 numbers in the sequence 33, 42, 51.
There are 6 digits in the sequence 33, 42, 51.
The sum of digits in numbers 33, 42, 51 is 18 (3*6, 3+6+9).

The sum of numbers in 33, 42, 51 is 126.
126 is divisible by 3, 6 and 9 and by the sum of 3, 6 and 9 (18).
126:3 = 42
126:6 = 21
126:9 = 14
126:18 = 7
Sum of the smallest term and the largest term of the sequence 33, 42, 51 is 84 (33+51).

A few years ago whenever I would look at a digital clock, all the numbers would be the same.

My uncle's friend moved to Australia about 25 years ago, and whilst on holiday in Australia last year my uncle actually bumped into his old friend in a shop! What are the odds of that? 8O

A few months ago our smoke detector in our apartment broke when we were carrying a big couch in (the couch smashed against it), and I didn't really think about it until last week when I just randomly thought about how dangerous it is to not have a smoke detector. Then I started to worry about it but didn't know how to go about it. Then the very day after, the landlord's safety inspector knocked on the door for an occasional visit (they turn up very randomly, and sometimes a year goes by between visits). So that was lucky! We are getting a new smoke-detector next week, free of charge! :D

My mum and her 2 sisters all have daughters, and their only brother only has sons (even though my mum and one of her sisters has a son too but it's still funny how all 3 girls have daughters but the only boy has sons). Also my dad and his brother's firstborns are boys, and their 2 sister's firstborns are girls.

I had first visit with my former psychiatrist after beginning of my coincidences at 21.10.2014, which was postponed from 7.10.2014.
Next visit was 27.1.2015. During it I received F2x diagnosis first time (it was F21 - schizophrenia-type disorder). Sum of 27 and 1 is 28. 27 is 3*3*3, 1 is 1*1*1. Sum of 3 and 1 is 4.
Next visit was 28.4.2015. During it I received three and only three diagnoses: F84.5, F42.2 and F21.
Next ambulatory visit was 21.7.2015. Sum of 21 and 7 is 28.
Last visit with my former psychiatrist occurred 08.12.2015.

Sum of numbers in first part of ICD-10 codes: F84.5, F42.2 and F21 is 84+42+21 - 147, which is 21*7.
Sum of digits in first parts of diagnostic codes (two digits after F) in the case of F84.5, F42.2, F21 is 8+4+4+2+2+1 - 21. Sum of digits after the dots (in second part of the codes: F84.5, F42.2, F21) is 5+2 - 7.

Sums of digits in terms of geometric sequence 84, 42, 21 form a geometric sequence with sum 21:
8+4 = 12
4+2 = 6
2+1 = 3
Sums of differences of digits in terms of geometric sequence 84, 42, 21 form a geometric sequence with sum 7:
8-4 = 4
4-2 = 2
2-1 = 1

I remember walking home from school one day (must have been about 9?), and some kid thought that I was his friend. I had no idea who he was, or why he was talking to me initially, but it became apparent to me that he mistook me for someone else quite quickly (he called me Finn, even though my name is Hans). He must have been a bit dismayed when he realised I couldn't talk, and it became apparent to him too that I wasn't Finn.

I met Finn like a week later. He looked almost exactly like me, he was my doppelganger. Very nice guy. We became friends pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, the last time I saw Finn was like a year ago. He just disappeared and I hadn't heard back from him since.

Some people still mistake me for Finn sometimes.

EDIT: correct me if I got the meaning of "coincidence" wrong. Not very good with English.

What is really weird to me is when I read a word in a book and hear it spoken at the same time. It's really weird.

I noticed that terms of geometrical sequence 21, 42, 84 read backwards will form the number (482412) which is divisible by 84 (which means that it is also divisible by 21 and 42).
482412/84 = 5743
482412/42 = 11486
482412/21 = 22972

The number formed by backward reading of numbers forming geometrical sequence 22, 44, 88 - 884422 is not divisible by 88: 884422/88 = 10050,25. 884422 is also not divisible by 44 - 884422/44 = 20100,5.

The number formed by backward reading of numbers forming geometrical sequence 23, 46, 92 - 296432 is not divisible by 92 (296432/92 = 3222.08695652) and by 46 (296432/46 = 6444.17391304) and also by 23 (296432/23 = 12888.3478261).

The sum of digits in arithmetic sequence 33, 42, 51 is 18 and the sum of numbers of that sequence is 126. There are also other sequences which have the same sum of digits (18) and the same sum of numbers (126). Some of them are:
- 21, 42, 63 - read backwards it forms arithmetic sequence 36, 24, 12 (its ascending counterpart is 12, 24, 36)
- 0, 42, 84 - read backwards it forms arithmetic sequence 48, 24, 0 (its ascending counterpart is 0, 24, 48)
- 11, 42, 73 - read backwards it forms arithmetic sequence 37, 24, 11 (its ascending counterpart is 11, 24, 37).

Sequences formed by digits of 11, 42, 73 are somewhat interesting because their extreme members (the smallest and the largest) are prime numbers and common differences of them are also prime numbers:
- 11, 42, 73 - common difference 31
- 11, 24, 37 - common difference 13
- 13, 42, 71 - common difference 29
- 17, 24, 31 - common difference 7.

Digits in numbers 13, 42, 71 sorted ascendingly will form 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7. Let's form numbers which have two digits from these sorted digits. We will receive 11, 23, 47. We received three prime numbers which sums of digits are also prime numbers (1+1 = 2; 2+3 = 5; 4+7 = 11).

10,5, 21, 42 - a geometric sequence which has two terms the same as the sequence 21, 42, 84. Sum of numbers 10,5, 21, 42 is 73,5. 73 is a prime number and 5 is a prime number.
Digits of number 73,5 sorted ascendingly will form an arithmetical progression: 3, 5, 7. It is the only aritmetical sequence which is "constructed" from prime numbers (3, 5, 7) and has at the same time the common difference (2) which is also a prime number.

Today I had a visit with a psychiatrist. Probably it was written that I have F84.5, F42.2, F21. Today is 04.06.2018. Sum of digits in that date is 21 and 21 can be formed from digits of that date. In addition, last digits in numbers meaning day, month and year form an arithmetical sequence with sum 18 (4, 6, 8).

I finished my first therapy in a day hospital 24.06.2016. That date is coincident with numbers in codes F21, F42, F84. On the excerpt from the hospital F84.5, F42.2 and F21 were present.

- sum of digits in the date 24.06.2016 is 21;
- from the digits of that date a geometrical sequence with the sum of numbers 42 can be formed (6, 12, 24 - there are two digits 2 in the date and in the sequence), two arithmetical sequences with the sun of numbers 42 also can be formed from digits of that date (6, 14, 22; 2, 14, 26);
- quotient of the number meaning the year and number meaning the day in the month is 84 (2016:24 = 84).
