40. Romantic reunion

After traveling to Dana Point, California, to assess a vehicle, Reddit user TheThingInTheBassAmp “shared a moment” with a young lady from the neighboring property.

39. Doppelgänger?

Speaking to BuzzFeed, user morgank4cf0aec49 recalled, “My friends were looking for me on Twitter and searched [for] my full name: ‘Morgan Knight.’ They all ended up following a different Morgan Knight who looks EXACTLY like me. We have the same name and face. I messaged the other Morgan Knight about it and we were both freaked out. Doppelgänger?”

38. The intern

How about this for crazy? Redditor PropBrother227 wrote, “[I] was walking around Boston on vacation and thought I saw a guy I interned with ten years before. I hadn’t seen him for ten years. [But] when he got closer I noticed it wasn’t him. About 15 minutes later we were walking on a new block, and the actual guy I interned with was sitting on a bench waiting for his girlfriend to get done shopping.”

37. Parent photobomb

When sarahc44a1a7d59’s teacher pulled up their vacation photos from China, no one could’ve predicted what happened next.
