15. Double Trouble

What Happened: Two matching women
Where: The U.K.
These two ladies don’t appear to know each other (they are walking separately, with one way ahead of the other), and yet they are dressed the same, have the same boots on, and have the same bright orange hair.

Double Trouble r/pics/Reddit
Is this a glitch in the Matrix? Did these women come from other dimensions? The pair even have the same black handbag. This photo is a mystery…just like all the other random coincidences on this list.

16. Swifties Rejoice

What Happened: Taylor Swift trucks
Where: U.S.
Swifties will see this as a cosmic sign about Taylor and her new beau, Travis. These two trucks were spotted on the highway next to each other, and one has the word “Taylor” on it, while the other reads “Swift.”

Swifties Rejoice r/funny/Reddit
T-Swift does have quite a bit of control over the world, but not that much. The pop icon and actress has a net worth of almost $1 billion, and her reign over the zeitgeist has been compared to that of Michael Jackson.

17. Balloon Popping In Action

What Happened: A balloon in mid-pop
Where: Unconfirmed
This picture must have been snapped with a high-speed camera, as how else could it have captured a balloon in mid-pop? A balloon popping is an instantaneous thing. The balloon is there and then it’s not.

Balloon Popping In Action r/PerfectTiming/Reddit
This is what it looks like before the tattered pieces fall to the ground. As you can see, they hold their shape for just a tiny amount of time before collapsing, creating a loud “bang” as the balloon disintegrates.

18. “It’s Me”

What Happened: A Question Mark Butterfly landed on its picture
Where: U.S.
This beautiful “Question Mark” Butterfly landed on a page that someone was reading about its kind, and it happened to land right on its own picture. Perhaps it thought it recognized a potential mate.

“It’s Me” r/awwnverts/Reddit
Polygonia interrogationis is native to North America, and it is a nymphalid. You can catch it in wooded areas, city parks, and anywhere that has a combination of open space and trees. Their name comes from their distinctive markings.

19. Foreground Vs. Background

What Happened: Matching rear window and windshield
Where: U.S.
According to the person who posted this, they were driving when they noticed that the image in their rearview mirror perfectly fit with the one they were looking at, creating a seamless composition.

Foreground Vs. Background @humortrain/Pinterest
The only mismatch was in color. This random coincidence doesn’t happen too often while driving, especially in the mountains, where landscape (and weather) can change at the drop of a hat.

20. Nails Match Gum

What Happened: Gum and nails match
Where: U.S.
This person cracked open a pack of gum (Dentyne, it looks like), when they noticed something a bit peculiar. Their nails, which were painted with white speckled with blue and green flecks, matched their gum.

Nails Match Gum r/mildlyinteresting/Reddit
It’s scary how close the two patterns are. Surely, this girl didn’t go to her nail artist and ask for gum-patterned nails, but that’s what she got. They are very pretty though, especially for the springtime.

21. A Friend Tried To Throw His Keys…

What Happened: Keys landed in a strange way
Where: U.S.
According to the person who posted it, a friend threw his keys to him, and they missed his clutches, only to end up like this. The tip of one of the keys on the ring is stuck inside the head of a screw.

A Friend Tried To Throw His Keys… r/mildlyinteresting/Reddit
This trick shot is one in a million, if not more. People who make viral videos on YouTube trying to score trick shots like these could never; this is a feat only accomplishable by accident.

22. No Need For A Flyswatter

What Happened: A fly impaled itself
Where: Unconfirmed
Somehow, this fly managed to impale itself on a spiky, cactus-like plant. The plant wasn’t carnivorous; this fly was just incredibly unlucky and uncoordinated (but, good news for the homeowner here).

No Need For A Flyswatter user/RickWoltman/Reddit
The homeowner doesn’t have to chase this annoying, buzzing insect around with a flyswatter. How the fly didn’t see the plant is a mystery, but it is dead as a doornail, with just its icky corpse to remove.

23. William West And William West

What Happened: Two identical, unrelated prisoners
Where: Leavenworth, Kansas, U.S.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the legend of the William Wests, two men that were not related, but looked nearly identical. The two men were sent to Leavenworth Prison in 1903, and they caused quite a bit of confusion for prison staff.

William West And William West r/nevertellmetheodds/Reddit
These two and their doppelganger status are a big reason that fingerprinting is used for identification purposes today. Though the Wests were nearly identical, their fingerprints were unique to them.

24. Kissing The Dragon

What Happened: Fire shaped like a dragon’s head
Where: Asia
This firebreather blew out a burst of fire. When you look at the fire itself, you can see that it looks somewhat like a dragon’s head, an amazing coincidence that we’re not sure how the performer made happen.

Kissing The Dragon @deccanchronicle/twitter.com
Must have been luck. Usually, fire breathers achieve their feat by spitting out a jet of flammable liquid over a flame, producing what looks like a “breath of fire.” This performance is super dangerous, as you can imagine.

25. Two Collided Bullets

What Happened: Two bullets collided in mid-air, allegedly
Where: U.S.
Though some say that these bullets collided at the “Battle of Gallipoli” in the 1910s, that claim hasn’t been verified yet. It’s not clear how these bullets collided or got this way, and it has sparked a bunch of different theories.

Two Collided Bullets r/technicallythetruth/Reddit
Two bullets can collide in mid-air, but it is very rare. There are two bullets on display in Gettysburg that collided during the Civil War, and they are an example of a rare and shocking coincidence (like this photo, possibly).

26. Almost Twilight

What Happened: Two Twilight lookalikes
Where: U.S.
Remember when Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson were together? The two Twilight stars acted together through the entire franchise, and their relationship came to a tumultuous end when Stewart was caught cheating.

According to the person who posted this photo, she and her boyfriend were at a party when someone commented on their resemblance to the Twilight stars. We can kind of see it—they’re like another dimension’s version.

27. A “Broken” Plate

What Happened: A plate dropped and split in half perfectly
Where: Unconfirmed
This plate was dropped and broke in half like this—what are the odds? This post went viral on social media, as some people were convinced that this coincidence was real, while others were totally skeptical.

A “Broken” Plate r/PerfectlySplitPlates//Reddit
It’s possible that the middle of this plate was the weakest part, and it managed to split like that when it was dropped (or microwaved). This even breakage is nothing some strong superglue can’t fix.

28. Same Print

What Happened: Matching pictures of Bruges
Where: Belgium
Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is located in northwest Belgium, and it is the capital of West Flanders. It is famous for its medieval buildings, cobbled streets, tall towers, and canals.

Same Print r/mildlyinteresting/Reddit
This truck had a picture of Bruges on its rear, and that picture matched what the passenger in the car behind it had as the background of her phone. Bruges is a massively popular tourist attraction, after all.
