There are some remarkable coincidences to see if you’re paying enough attention. And some are pretty cool, while others are nearly unbelievable.
Here are 50 photos of mind-blowing moments in which things came together in just the right way at just the right time for no apparent reason at all.
1. Who wore it better?
We’re not sure if we would find this funny or embarrassing.
But it’s clearly a pattern admired by more than one product designer.
2. This is DOG
We were already pretty sure we knew what kind of creature was down there, but maybe the universe was giving those nearby another warning not to trip over him.
After all, he does kind of blend in with the floor.
3. When they’ve got your number
We’re not sure what the probability is of this kind of thing happening, but we’d certainly feel like we were having a lucky day if we saw the same number so many times.
4. Split frame
Perhaps she walked between them in order to complete the photo but finding two cars those colors parked next to one another like that is still a lucky find.
5. Un-egg-splainable
We might almost take that as a sign not to eat it, but we do love hard-boiled eggs.
Half my egg’s yolk boiled outside of the shell into the shape of a chicken. from r/mildlyinteresting
6. Bananaface
It’s just a banana slice, and we wouldn’t have noticed its “face” if the dog weren’t right there. This piece of fruit looks just like him.
He’s not interested in the coincidence though – just the snack.
7. Lucky catch
But this fish appears to have been fooled twice by the same person.
We’ll take his word for it that it’s the exact same fish – the markings sure look the same.
And kudos for throwing it back safely if you’re not catching it for food!
I caught the same fish 1 year apart. First time 24.8.15 and then again on 25.8.16 from r/mildlyinteresting
8. Colorful companions
AND, in one set the woman is wearing pink while in the other it’s the man.
They don’t look like they know each other either. But we wonder if they noticed the resemblance if they got up at the same time.
9. Counter shwarma or shwarma counter?
We just hope he didn’t put it down and lose it since it blends in so well!
10. Driving green
But it turns out they just parked behind two bushes – and those bushes are spaced apart so perfectly that they align exactly with the car’s tires.
Walking back to the car and noticed that the bushes were perfectly spaced to look like my tires. I was a bit confused for a moment. from r/oddlysatisfying
11. Concrete style
Well, this guy has. I bet he was so embarrassed that they wore the same outfit on the same day.
12. Trolled by an orange
Of course, blood oranges can look like that inside, but it must have felt a little creepy knowing they go to the same salon!
13. Nailed it
We hate it when our cat tries to climb the flat screen, but we haven’t thought about snapping a photo that made it look like our body had a cat head.
14. So original
It’s not a very creative outfit, but we’re impressed that they’re all wearing black shoes as well. Not a sneaker in sight.
15. Hey, I know that mountain!
But if you just think it’s a random mountain and then you look up and see it from the same angle while on a trip – well, that must feel a little strange.
After having it for 2 years, I accidentally FOUND my phone background the other day near santa cristina, italy! from r/pics
16. Super SUPER Mario
We would laugh pretty hard if someone took off their costume to reveal they looked just about the same underneath.
Do you think he recognizes the resemblance?
17. The good kind of coincidence
But this little one got a surprise when the character in his new book looked EXACTLY like him.
What a cutie!
18. Mind the gap
Do you think she noticed the coincidence when she bought the shoes or did it take a trip on the subway to drive it home?
19. The very definition of “rugged”
He was apparently the very model for Target’s sock man.
Embarassing or awesome?
20. A complete meal
Maybe it’s a coincidence that someone found them this way, but we think this had to be intentional on the part of the rice makers.
21. Imagine that!
Imagine meeting your new colleague and realizing you were there at their birth, even though you’ve had no contact since that day.
Maybe some things were just meant to be.
22. Lefty and Righty
What are the chances of even meeting another one-eyed dog in a store, much less one that’s the same breed but missing the opposite eye?
23. Destiny
They were in the same place at the same time more than once.
Clearly someone had a plan for them.
My cousin was in his future wife’s family picture (the guy on the left), on a trip to Rio de Janeiro… 7 years before they met. (1985, Pão de Açúcar, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) from r/pics
24. Rude fortune cookie
But imagine how creepy it would feel if you got this fortune right BEFORE you had an accident!
That would freak us out big time.
25. Dressed in drag…onfly
Who goes home to change in this case?
We bet this was no coincidence to the dragonfly, which probably thought there was some sort of dragonfly convention going on without him.
26. 7s and 11s
You’d have to plan pretty well to get a total of $7.11 with an invoice number that had 7 and 11 in it AT a 7-11!
27. The perfect match
We doubt anyone looks for friends based on their hairlines though.
28. Two ships passing in the night
They didn’t meet that night, but we have the feeling that their similar interests brought them together at some other point.
My girlfriend and I both took pictures from the same angle at the same show… 3 years before we met each other from r/nevertellmetheodds
29. No way! Way.
But it must feel like a coincidence to see these two cars in a row.
Yes way!
30. Blending in
At first, we thought they were transparent, but it turns out the polka dots are just the same size and distance apart as the ones on the shelf.
31. The universe can be a real jerk
And we’d have a pretty angry reaction to looking up at that billboard once we made it out of the car.
We call conspiracy!

32. Some things never change
Otherwise, it’s either a coincidence, or the room is haunted in some way and manages to project its wishes into the mind of the resident.
We’re going to go with coincidence.
(X-Post from r/mildyinteresting, was told you may enjoy) I found this tiny piece of wallpaper that was stuck to my wall from the 1970s (previous owners) only to find that it matches the way I painted my walls today! from r/nevertellmetheodds
33. Two sides of the same coin
Or do you think these drivers really decided to trade truck beds to get a two-toned look?
Don’t try this at home.
34. It’s contagious
But how cute is it that someone’s newly adopted dog would have the same ear quirk as their older one?
Now they look like they’re related!
A puppy I adopted can’t get her right ear to stand, just like my 3yo German Shepherd from r/nevertellmetheodds
35. Dumb luck
Of course, they can’t get out of their spot, but it looks like they had the right idea to park between the two trees.
What are the odds of neither tree doing any damage at all?
36. Wood you look at that…
But it’s an interesting coincidence if the grain lines up precisely.
Even if they were made from the same pattern, to have two such different objects share the exact same pattern is pretty weird.
My friend’s phone case blends in with this 1982 school library circulation desk. from r/mildlyinteresting
37. Don’t be a warning to others
It’s weird enough to look like the guy in the poster though – especially if he’s a cartoon.
38. Love is all you need
To be fair, one of them was right.
We just hope the food was good too.
39. From love to Dove
So what a coincidence it would be to find you were twinning with the inside of a candy wrapper.
Sure, it doesn’t mean anything, but we’d at least feel a little less guilty about eating that candy.
40. You must be wearing peach pants to rent a video
And that’s not a color we typically see when it comes to pants.
Did these two women look at each other and laugh? Or was the person watching them from afar the only one who noticed?
41. Big guy, little guy
These guys could be brothers – but definitely not twins.
The size difference is enough to convince us they’re not related, but the matching outfits are super weird.
Is that a wedding blessing?
My friend met a stranger at a wedding that looked just like him and was wearing the same thing. from r/mildlyinteresting
42. Feeling watched
These two cars have to belong to the same household and that’s what we’re believing until we see otherwise.
But noticing them at the same time must feel really strange.
43. Meeting the cooler version of yourself
We know some guys aren’t super creative with their clothing, but matching shoes too?!
We hope they decided to become friends.
44. Of all the colors…
We get that it must seem odd to see three identical cars parked outside a building of the same color, but we just want to know who chose that awful color and WHY?
Does the whole town just have bad taste?
45. Long-lost pal
Maybe it’s not a huge coincidence to see the same animal at the same place, but 5 years is a pretty long time and that animal is still keen on posing for photos.
When I was looking through my photos, I realized I unknowingly took two pictures of the same bull, 5 years apart, at a ranch I visit in Texas. from r/pics
46. Coincidence or following instructions?
Now we see exactly why.
Did someone take it as a sign to do something bad? Or is this ad an innocent witness?
47. We found him!
Was someone trolling him with that photo? Did his producers at least warn him?
We want to know where he was at the time of the robbery.
48. Too much!
Sure, twins have similarities, but this is ridiculous.
49. Ain’t nature grand?
He managed to poop a self-portrait of himself right onto this leaf.
That’s talent, if nothing else.
50. Yes and no
It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel like you just might have a lucky day.
These coincidences almost make you feel like someone is out there trying to freak us all out.
