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

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. 
That post was hilarious with the misused words.  Thanks for the laugh.

 Because I like to learn, please tell me what words that I misused. I promise I won't take any offense.  Smile
