A friend of mine has 2 dogs that she walks at a local country park once a week. Busy place, always full of families and dog walkers. Two or three years ago she’d finished their walk and got back to the car only to find she’d lost her keys. In a bit of a panic she began to retrace her steps. A woman coming the other way with her dog could see she was looking for something, and said “Have you lost your car keys by any chance?” J said yes, and the woman produced the keys from her pocket, saying “I found these by the lake, are they them?” They were, much relief all round, J and her wife had a bunch of flowers sent to the finder, and has been much more careful ever since. Yesterday, she was at the country park, and spotted a mobile phone on the ground. She picked it up, planning to post it on the local FB group when she got home. A minute or two later, she spots an anxious looking woman walking towards her, and says “I don’t suppose you’ve lost your mobile phone?” Woman says yes, describes the phone, J produces the one she’d found, and surely enough, it’s the right phone. They exchange pleasantries, J saying that she understands how stressful it is, she lost her keys a couple of years ago, and some kind lady found them… the woman says “Oh my god! I thought you looked familiar!” Yes, she was the key finder from 2 or three years back.
We’ll, *I* thought it was a great coincidence!
