What is a SMALL WORLD experience?
Why is life a mystery?
Are you bored?
Can we move this thread to the Trash?
Re: What is Your Best "SMALL WORLD" Experience?
Looking online for a second hand car for months. Nothing pushed my buttons until one afternoon I looked, saw a car, felt ‘that’s the one’, was the first to contact the owner, had viewed and driven it and agreed to buy it within 48 hrs of my contacting him…. Walking out the door with the keys and he said I’d mentioned I worked in X suburb. He said his daughter works there too at Y company.
Was a colleague of mine.

Bit of a lacklustre response, there.
Have you considered actually contributing to your own thread?
Back on topic
Walking into Olala about 4 years ago, and bumping into an old friend and colleague from an outfit that we’d worked for, on the other side of the world many years before. Over the next couple of hours catching up over a few beers.

Just remembered another one.
At a party at a stranger’s house in London, heard a voice in another room that I recognised.
Was one of my closest friends (genuinely among my closest) at high school on the other side of the world about 5 years after leaving school and the country. We remained in contact for decades

Many years ago I was in a discotheque in HCMC when someone shouted my name. Turned out it was a girl I went to hotel school with in Switzerland 15 years earlier. I had always had the hots for her, and it ended up being a memorable New Year's Eve weekend

Memorial City. First 99 Ranch opened there. Parents drove from far away just to shop there. And Taste of Texas. Had many a birthday there. Unforgettable cinnamon coffee.
So lucky you!

40 years ago. Walking down a street in Perth where I was just staying for a few days before heading up the coast. Did a double take when I saw someone I recognized from my Uni in Victoria BC. He was 2 years younger and doing a work exchange there for 4 months and I had already graduated. Could hardly believe that I ran into the guy by chance literally almost halfway around the planet. Small world indeed.
