41 Moments So Bizarre, People Still Wonder If Reality Glitched

Years ago, I missed my bus on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. It was a lovely fall day, so I decided to walk. While walking I called my friend to discuss an idea we had for printing t-shirts. I said, "well the first thing we'll need is a screen printing machine." I looked down, and literally sitting next to me on the sidewalk was a brand new, unused silkscreen printer with a sign that said "free." We are still friends, and to this day we call crazy coincidences "the silkscreen effect"

I just finalized my divorce. I was crying on the Seattle waterfront and wishing I could talk to my friend Brian. I kept thinking about him- where are you Brian? A man walked up to me and asked if I was okay. I said yes. He said “Well my name is Brian and I’ll be right over here if you want to talk”.

One time a failed business owner and reality tv show host became president of the USA and destroyed the country …

i bought a very specific vintage mug at a thrift store. a week later i dropped it broke it and threw the pieces in the outside trash. next morning i wake up and the exact same mug is sitting completely whole in my drying rack. the trash bag outside still had the broken pieces in it. my brain is still broken over it.

My 2nd wife and I met online. Both divorced. She told me that she had a thing for brown guys(me) ever since she was 15 because every day for a month she would watch a young guy who was doing construction work at her school and had the biggest crush on him. Yeah, turns out, it was me

When we were young, both my husband and I had in invisible friends. His was named Joan Gribb and mine was named Charlie. The only people who knew this were our parents. Who have all since passed away. Forward to July 2018 we buy a new house and we get a card in the mail addressed to Joan Gribb at our address and no return address. I opened it and it was a birthday card signed Charlie. We traced the entire property history. A Joan Gribb has never lived here.

For years, in Dublin City Ireland, I walked a specific route from my bus stop to my office. And for years I passed the same girl heading the opposite direction, obviously on her way to work. Then I moved to Sydney Australia. I got my first temp job, got off train in city and walked to the office. And yes, there she was, walking opposite direction. We both did a double take on each other. Didn’t speak, just like a WTF moment for both of us as we rushed to work. Didn’t see her again after that.

This is a repeating glitch and has happened countless times. I’ll be out and about and I’ll think I see someone I know from a distance but get closer and realize oh that’s not them. Then within a minute or two, the person I thought I saw shows up! It has happened so many times. I don’t know what it means. Lots of doppelgängers out there messing with me.

I'll try to sum this up in one short paragraph.

3 years ago I was a delivery driver in Manhattan and when I was stuck at the light I noticed a guy in a burgundy sweater walking his black dog and the Asian traffic police yelling at a driver in a blue truck to turn because it's his turn. I just happened to notice this.

Flash forward 4 hours later I was approaching the same light, and watched the EXACT scene unfold as it did earlier with every exact detail. It was a vivid scene that redid itself.

I was driving home on a canyon road late at night back in 2017. Going the speed limit, totally focused, wide awake. I heard a crystal clear physical male voice in the car tell me to SLOW DOWN. So I did. A minute later I'm going around a blind corner and had to stop because one of the biggest bull elk I've ever seen was just standing in the middle of my lane. The car was small. I wouldn't have slowed down on time and it certainly would have ended me.

Once picked up the phone(☎️ 90s dial up) to ring my brother and he was already on the line I hadn’t even dialed the number

I was at a bus stop in California and didn’t have cash. A woman who looked just like me but older bought my bus ticket, and when i asked how to pay her back she said “pass it on to another girl who needs it”. I think it was me.

I met a girl in Bangkok. We did the deed. Said goodbye. Four months later she was in my hotel in Argentina. We did it again. Laughed. Had fun. Bye again. Five months later we ran into each other in friggin' Dublin.
Haven't seen her since.

When I moved to Florida at 15 years old, it was several months before I was able to call my best friend back in my hometown. When I finally called him his phone was busy. I called back… still busy. When I called a third time he answered and was shocked it was me. He was like, “that’s so weird. I just tried to call you, but your phone was busy.”

After months of no contact we both decided to call each other at the
*exact same time*

This is minor...but I swear to god every time I look up at a streetlight, the light goes out.

I used to see the same woman at the bus top in Toronto on my way to work. I went on vacation in the UK for a month and one morning was catching a train from a small Yorkshire town into London and there she was on the platform.

Was at one of the brokest points in my life, had probably $5 in my account. Walked into a spiritual shop to look around, checked my bank account and I had exactly $444.44 in my account. It wasn’t pay day either

I was driving on a U-turn road when a huge truck nearly hit me, it felt like it could’ve been the end. I closed my eyes, and in a split second, I found myself back at the exact spot I was in about three minutes before reaching the U-turn.

I was in a pub with some friends, telling a story that took place at a job I had had more than 10 years earlier. I got stuck on the name of a colleague, whom I hadn't seen or heard from since those days. I racked my brain for a bit, until finally it broke through. "I remember. Her name was [Tracy]!" The very moment the name left my lips, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, and standing over me was [Tracy].

A few days ago, I was at an event during a trip and ended up sharing a table with an older couple. We really hit it off and at one point we started talking about books. I asked them about their favorite genre and their all-time favorite book. Without hesitation, they said «A Gentleman in Moscow». They love that book so much that every member of their family has read it. We all got shivers when I pulled the very same book out of my purse. I had been reading it for about a month!!!
