As with the Space Pigeons thread, I strongly suspect a technological explanation for this, thought I'd share it as it's still well weirded me out.
On Wednesday I was sat at my desktop in the attic doing a bit of job hunting when I got an email from my gym informing me that I'd just checked in - there is a biometric thing where you get your fingerprint scanned to get in so that is a bit weird. Had not been that morning as I'd slept in.
Email gives 12.20 as the check in time, last time before that I'd been was 8pm the previous evening.
Asked about this the next time I went in, reception had no idea how it could happen, she reckoned the odd checkin from very late one day could come in early the next, 12.20 is waaaay late though. Normally there isn't a delay on notifications at all, email comes through within minutes of checking in.
No idea how reliable the biometric scanner is, possible I suppose that it misread someone else's fingerprint as mine?
Still very odd.
