Got separated from my mates on holiday in Greece but decided to stay out and dance like an itchy Gibbon anyway and was invited back to a girls apartment, nothing transpired but we just sat chatting, then the door went and in walks her mate with my mate in tow, how random is that, in the whole, fairly huge and busy resort, from a different club she meets, completely independently one of the chaps I was on holiday with and drags him back.

Many years ago (early 80's), my mates and I were regular visitors to a pub with an absolutely stunning barmaid who had a very impressive decolleté.
Great care was taken in ordering anything which would increase the chances of a better view of her charms, but she was wise to our plans, and all our efforts ended in disappointment.
That summer, we went on a lads holiday to Greece. The first day on the beach, guess who was the first person we saw topless on the beach?

Several years ago i had a Mistubishi Outlander as a company car. Eventually it was traded in for a new model at my local dealer in Norfolk. They told me that the old car had been sold within a week to someone in Wales.
About a year later i was taking my step-daughter back to Uni in Bath. As we got closer the signs along the M4 anounced there were long delays ahead. I came off at a junction ealier than the sat nav suggested and it took me down some tiny, single track back roads. At one point i had to stop as there was a tractor coming the other way.
As it went past, behind it was my old Outlander!

Went out with some friends here in Tokyo, had plenty to drink, met a female I liked the look of at one of the bars.
After a jolly night in a hotel room we parted ways the next morning because she had to go to work and I had a
job interview lined up for an hour or so later.
Yep, you'd be right, seeing her again across the desk at the interview was a pleasant surprise ... and I got the job.

Got my push bike nicked from the works bike shed.
Railway Police Officer took the details and then gave me a lift home.
Told my Wife as I was getting cleaned up and she suggested I check with my parents if it would still be covered on their insurance (they lived 5 doors down from us).
Decided to pop round straight away and as I stepped out of the front door, there across the street was the theiving little git sat on my bike chatting to my neighbours daughter.
Dragged him, kicking and squealing, into my house for a friendly chat.
Called the Railway Police again and the same Officer came back, highly amused at the good fortune.
Then found out that I worked with his dad, who, assured me gave his lad a good slapping.

Went to get in a car and the key didn't work. Car wasn't mine. Same model, colour, spec. But the scary thing? Registration number was practically the same, mine was something like S92GLX, this was S91GLX.
Peugeot, sold by the same garage at the same time I bought mine. Must have been issued consecutive plates by DVLA

I was working as a freelance Design Engineer on a project in Derby once.
As I was leaving the office one evening, I passed the Project Manager who was muttering swear words to himself.
He was struggling with rolled up drawings and documents and when I asked what was wrong, he said that he had just dropped his keys onto the drivers seat then accidentally knocked the door closed, locking his keys in and him out.
I very confidently told him "No Problem, its a Mazda, its Japanese, my Honda kex will fit that. (having no clue really) I walked up the car, pushed my key in the door and, much too my surprise, the key turned and unlocked the car as if it was the original key.
It ended up with "bloody hell, didn't expect that".
