Well many weird things have happened to me,too numerous to list.
But for the purpose of this thread i'll get the ball rolling with two of my weirdest experiences.
Also for the purposes of this thread"weird"can mean,coincidence,synchronicity,paranormal,luck,tim ing etc,etc...
Ok,here go mine.
In 1997-yes I remember the year as the incident was so bizzarre-anyway I found 3 five pound notes,nothing weird about that you say? Well the weirdness comes into it this way.I found 3 five pound notes on 3 consecutive days,in 3 different parts of London.
The first outside Wembley Arena as id just seen a concert.
The second in Stratford near a park.
The third right outside my house on the street.
That third find really started to creep me out and I wondered if it was raining fivers!! To the point that the next day I just expected to find another and another,anyway I never found anymore after that.But I always wondered statistically what the odds of this experience were.
Ok my second weird experience which I will share involves a friend,I ran into her after not seeing her for a while,saw her in Tescos(supermarket for our Yankee friends),we talked for a bit made plans to go for a drink but never did.Fast forward 2 months later,i'm walking down one of the streets in Times Square New York which is ram as you know and who do I feel tapping me on shoulder??? You guessed it.
I cant tell you howunsettling this was to me coz first I dont ever expect to see anyone that I know in another country the same time as me and secondly I didnt even know this woman had a passport never mind the rest of it.
It's incidents like this which make me feel like "Truman" from the Truman Show.
*Cue actor 4 to enter stage right,actor engages in casual conversation with subject on the internet*
Intermission.......................
I aint asking for nothing,just open the door and i\'ll take it myself-James Brown.

Three major car crashes in my life. Flipped and rolled three times in one of them. Did 360s at 90 mph down a motorway into a ditch in another. The third was head on into a bus. Each time the car was written off completely. Each time neither me nor anybody with me was harmed in any way, not even cuts or bruises.

I wasn't driving the car on any of those occasions.
It could simply mean I'm bad luck to have around.
Or good luck depending on your perspective.confused3

Statistically that does seem like a lot of major car incidents to have been involved with,this would suggest to me that you probably are not gonna die in a car.

It could also mean that the reaper is trying to get me and he keeps missing.

Personally JB, I think that you stole the money and then had to justify a way that you could claim it as yours without it being SUH-SPIIICIOUSSSSS....
Just kidding JB LOL
