This is not an earth-shattering coincidence but I thought it was kind of funny.
A few years ago I was dating someone who was causing me a lot of stress and wasn't particularly good for me. He had recently left for a long trip in Europe and I was stuck at home obsessing about 'us'.
One day, I was walking along in a neighbourhood I'd never ever been in before and was just going along, thinking about this guy I was dating. I was obsessively ruminating about him and our relationship and analysing every detail and then suddenly, I just said to myself,'enough, enough, I don't want to think about this guy any more! Just stop thinking about this guy! That's it, just get this guy out of my mind'
And, then I felt some relief and continued on my walk. Then - and keep in mind I was in a strange neighbourhood - I took two more steps, looked up at the street sign on the street I was crossing. The street name was the same as the last name of the guy I was dating!
I just started laughing so hard and yelled out loud at the sky 'very funny!'. Here I was trying to get him out of my mind and then I see this sign with his name emblazoned across it.

In a Science lesson today at school someone was talking about the chances of the fire bell ringing during an exam. Then a big coincidence happened: the fire bell rang! It's got to be one of the biggest coincidences I've ever experienced.
