My dad looks at the picture and says, “Doc, that’s me!” The doctor says, “Yes, those are the symptoms you are showing.” My dad says, “No, really, that’s me in the picture!” It turns out my dad had this eye problem when he was a kid, and it was so rare that they took his picture in the 1960s and slapped him in a book of rare eye problems.
He doesn’t remember much about taking the picture, but he did manage to get a copy of it to take home. © flounceymagoo / Reddit
One month later, I got a new job. The first day I show up at my office, my boss introduces me to the person who will be training me.
Lo and behold, it was this girl. We became friends later, so it wasn’t too bad. © i_rae_shun / Reddit
His eyes lit up, and he burst out laughing. He was a security guard at the shopping center where I live.
He name-dropped the place and also the shops he patrols. I couldn’t believe it. This proved to me for the first time ever that the world really is a small place. © TheTwoHands10 / Reddit
As soon as I arrive, there’s the girl.
At the exact same time, we both say, “I am SO sorry… Wait, what are you sorry for?” Turns out she’d overslept too.

I got all the contacts out of it and then turned the phone off for the last time and put it in a drawer in my office. I spent that first week sort of in shock and planning for the funeral and settling his estate.
At one point, I had wondered why I hadn’t felt that he was around me.
About 5 minutes later, my phone rang. Caller ID showed it was my Dad calling from his cell phone number.
What!!!
I just sat there in shock for a couple of rings, trying to process it. I answered the phone and there was nobody there.
I rushed from my house to my office and his phone was still in the drawer and still turned off. © Gordon Miller / Quora
