1) Imagine sitting on a plane and it turns out that the passenger in the next seat looks exactly like you! That's what happened to Neil Douglas when he boarded a flight and discovered that the person sitting next to him was a mirror image of himself.

By a further coincidence, they were both going to the same destination!
Editor's note: "Of course they would be going to the same destination. It was a plane, not a bus. That's how planes work!"
Charles: "Yes, it was a joke."
Editor: "Oh, right. That makes more sense."
2) I ran over two Miles yesterday.
What a coincidence that both unfortunate pedestrians had the same name.
3) A couple of years ago when my cousin was visiting, I asked her what I could get for her daughter for Christmas. She suggested I get her a set of Duplo bricks.
By a strange coincidence, the next time I went on facebook, the first advert it showed was for Duplo bricks! Wow, what a coincidence! **shifty eyes**
By a further 'coincidence', my cousin also had her phone with her that day (which had the facebook app installed).
4) This next coincidental man hired a rental car and parked at a winery. By a weird coincidence, when he came back outside later, he discovered that the car parked next to him was almost identical! The registration number is only one digit different.

To be fair, a lot of people see double after a wine tasting, but it's not so common that their camera sees double too!
5) What do you call it when a dyslexic flips a coin and it lands on its edge?
A coin incident.
6) The speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s.
The coordinates 29.9792458°N is a line of latitude that passes through the Great Pyramid Of Giza In Egypt.
7) What are the odds of passing two trucks like this on the same road?

I wonder if the two truck drivers spotted each other and drove like this deliberately to amuse other drivers.
8) There are 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in my fridge. Coincidence?
No, I'm just an alcoholic.
Legal disclaimer: I'm not actually an alcoholic. That was just a fictitious claim for the purposes of making a joke.
9) I have an air filter in my room that has a smart mode which automatically switches between low, medium and high speed, depending on the amount of impurities and pollution in the air.
Curiously, whenever I spray on deodorant, the air filter always switches to high speed mode. What a coincidence! **shifty eyes**
10) To end things on a happy note, this bird flew in front of a speed camera and blocked the car's registration number at the exact moment as the camera took a photo.

Apparently this happened in Germany, and the driver was travelling at three miles over the speed limit, but because the bird blocked his license plate, the man escaped a speeding ticket.

Once again, my latest book 'A Series Of Seriously Consequential Coincidences' is now available for kindle from Amazon.
This is the blurb:
'John Butcher was an electrician living an ordinary life in the small English town of Bramwell.
But when a chain of absurdly fateful coincidences enters his life, he finds himself entangled in a scenario involving an international political assassination.
Can John extricate himself from the situation with his conscience - not to mention his life - still intact?'
