• From truthful fortune cookies to seeing your twin, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the weirdest coincidences we’ve ever
had.
I’m Nixxiom and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by DarkMind420 Pandora When she was about twelve, Pandora was looking
for her mother’s car when she got out of school.
She knew her mother’s car was red, but not the type.
Pandora assumed that the red car in front of her was her mother’s car, so she opened
the door and climbed inside.
There was a baby boy and a very confused looking woman in the car.
She immediately apologized and got out.
As she got out of the car, she noticed her mom’s car was behind the lady's car, and
it turned out that somebody ELSE had mistaken her mom’s car for their car!
It was even more awkward when Pandora and the other person had to walk past each other!
They became friends after that, and Pandora brushed up on her car types when she got home.
Number 9 was submitted by JanielisBAE777 Gooby In 8th grade, Gooby had gone to a Chinese
restaurant with her parents, and afterwards they were given fortune cookies.
Gooby opened hers and it said, "a blonde from afar with give you a surprise".
She kept the fortune just in case.
About 3 days later, her cousin with autism – who was blonde and lived very far away
from her and her family -- gave her a hug, which was surprising because he never really
gave hugs.
That was when Gooby remembered her fortune and freaked out a little.
Number 8 was submitted by DesiGirl41 Honeybits When Honeybits was born, the nurse took her
into a different room.
She put her beside a baby that looked a lot like her.
The next day, the nurse picked her up and gave her to different parents!
Honeybits was crying a lot but then the nurse took her away and apologized to the other
parents.
She told them that it was a coding mistake.
She then brought her to her REAL parents.
Honeybits and the other baby are friends now and, to this day, she wonders if she was actually
taken to the right home.
Who knows?
Number 7 was submitted by Ichidon Spinalpalm Over summer break, Spinalpalm was playing
Overwatch after he had recently moved to New York.
He befriended a guy, Grgak, after playing a match with him.
Turns out they have the same birthdays, the same amount of siblings of the same age and
gender, and they even had cats whose names were the same.
It turns out that Grgak goes to Spinalpalm’s new school and is in his class.
He’s still dumbfounded at the amount of luck he had.
Number 6 was submitted by Mote-of-Lobross Danger Dolan’s Mysterious Brother
Dolan’s brother moved back to the town where he spent his teenage years and early 20's
about three years ago.
Being back brought back a lot of memories, which made him wonder what happened to a lot
of the folks he used to hang out with before he moved to Dallas in 1999.
So, he stopped by the comic store he hasn’t visited since his teenage years.
There he saw a Strangers in Paradise graphic novel, which reminded him of a friend from
high school that loved that series.
He pick it up and began thumbing through it when he accidentally backed into someone because
he didn’t look where he was going.
Dolan’s brother looked the person's way to apologize and, standing before him was
the very girl he had just thought about.
They had coffee afterward and hang out every once in a while.
Number 5 was submitted by Frenchfriedpotaters1 Slapped Ham
One time when Slapped Ham was 6 years old, he went with his mom to a gas station.
She brought him inside and said that he could get some candy.
Slapped Ham walked down a lot of aisles, but then he saw his mom's car driving away.
He ran out of the gas station without paying and his mom came out behind him saying that
wasn't their car.
Just then, their car started moving.
There was a creep in their car, and his mom beat him with a broom and her purse.
If Slapped Ham would have stayed in the gas station, their car and all of their belongings
would have been gone.
Number 4 was submitted by Jurtus Danger Dolan When Dolan was 11, his dad was expecting a
meeting with his boss that could potentially end his job because he wasn't keeping up with
his work… or something like that.
Dolan had to go to school, so his dad got a taxi.
His dad was very worried, and the taxi driver overheard them talking about it.
His dad explained most of his situation to the taxi driver and, after his dad said the
name of the company, the taxi driver said that he was related to the boss.
The taxi driver then ended up crashing into a ditch by accident.
They were all ok but still went to hospital to make sure.
Dolan’s dad missed the meeting as the boss had to check on the taxi driver relative…
but his dad was fired the next day.
Number 3 was submitted by Irish_Jedi-15 Sweet Commando
One night, Sweet Commando had a dream that his friends dared him to run across the street
while the light was red.
He did, and got hit by a big, green truck… then woke up, thinking it was just weird.
Later that day, however, Sweet Commando and his friends were walking home from school
when they missed the light.
His friends dared him to run, but just before Sweet Commando was about to say no, a large
green truck sped through the street.
Needless to say it was pretty freaky.
Number 2 was submitted by TheZootopiaFanboy Hellbent
When Hellbent was young, him and his mom were going uptown to get a new game.
They were sitting on the train that would take them uptown, when Hellbent got really
freaked out.
He saw someone on the train who looked almost EXACTLY like HIM!
He had the same long black hair, same brown eyes, same lips and same clothes!
The doppelgänger also got freaked out!
After they both got off the train, Hellbent asked his mom, "Uh... mom, was that my lost
twin?"
His mom jokingly replied with, "Oh my!
I think that WAS your lost twin!
Quick.
Let's go get him."
After that day, he never saw his twin again.
Number 1 – What was the weirdest coincidence that ever happened to me?
This is probably going to be the weirdest ones on the list, but the majority of my best
friends have birthdays directly in line with mine.
Seriously – starting with my friend Mason, his birthday is on the first of June, then
it’s Chad on the second, Aron then third, David, Soloman, Ben, mine on the seventh,
and then my friend Tate’s birthday is on the 8th of June.
How crazy is that?
I guess we were all destined to be together.
Huge thanks for the folks over on our Planet Dolan subreddit for submitting their stories.
