Bad/Good Things That Happen Without the Aid of a Deity

Christians often claim that coincidences are the result of their god guiding them. If you have to drive around and around a parking lot looking for a space, god might be trying to tell you not to visit that store on that day.
I thought it would be interesting if atheists describe weird coincidences that happened in their life.
The night we met neither my husband or I wanted to go out. Both of us were pressured by friends to go to a certain nightclub. My husband happened to work with my friend so he and his friends sat at our table. The coincidence of our meeting was just that, a coincidence that happened to work out well for both of us.
Every single time that I make a pot of coffee, my neighbor stops by for a visit. She loves coffee. I could believe that she has coffee ESP but I think it is more likely that my coffee drinks a lot of coffee and we practically live in each other's homes.
I am working at building a new entertainment center. My husband, sweet guy that he is, set up a portable canopy to shade me as I sanded and then vanished my masterpiece. Unfortunately when the wind blew, my canopy toppled and knocked over the stain I was using. I suppose that I could see that as proof that some higher power doesn't like the particular stain that I am using or just wants to screw with the first wood project that I ever made.
It might be interesting to describe some unusual things that happened to you that are just strange coincidences and have no meaning beyond that life is weird sometimes.
