Because I like to learn, please tell me what words that I misused. I promise I won't take any offense.
I am ready to take offense for you. However, you did misuse some words; I have made alterations with errors crossed out and additions in red, though I may have missed something; I am not trying to be overly critical, and am not an English teacher:

I thought it would be interesting if atheists describe described weird coincidences that happened in their life lives.
The night we met neither my husband or nor 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 neighbor 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 varnished 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 was using or just wants wanted 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.
I don't think it was worth mentioning, and would not have bothered to raise any of this myself. Posting online tends to be informal writing, with plenty of typographical errors and other issues.
I say, go ahead and be offended that someone brought up the matter at all.
