UKboy1977---*I* have such coincidences, quite often. I actually started a journal of them. I have them at home though (which is 20 miles away). I could have something like this happen: I am in some plumbing stare discussing nursery rhymes with a worker, and then I will leave the store, and a particular nursery rhyme we were talking about would become whimsically added into a commentary on the radio..or I'd go home and read about how the originator of a particular nursery rhyme we were talking about, died today.
Or, for some reason, on a particular day, I decided to call someone a 'peckerhead'. A slang terminology from decades prior and one not hardly heard today. And I could return to my vehicle, turn on the radio, and one of the first things I hear on the radio is someone talk about 'peckerheads'. And I go. "What the...!"
Here is a real one that I can actually recall. My next door neighbors have two children. I see them all the time, and we all talk. One day I thumbed through something with a bunch of names on it, and when I glanced down, the names of the two kids were 'in order' out of all the names there...and...they were what I spotted first, in the middle of the page where I happened to be looking.
I told this story to someone I am close to, and they said to me, to one upsmanship me, that one day they were driving down the highway, and they spotted the childrens names on a rock out in front of these peoples house. Danielle and Brittany. The names of (the people I know) their grandchildren. And as we discussed and tried to look at this reasonably, this person said, "It's not as if when we drive down the road, we see all these signs with peoples names on them, and THIS time it happened to hit home in our case. And...how many people do you know, that only have two kids, and their names are Danielle, and Britanny/!"
With these kinds of coincidences, I don't think you can mathematically ascribe an actual odds. You might be able to take a stab at trying to approximate, based on certain data. You might say that you think it's less than one in a million, but probably higher than one in a thousand, based on no more than sheer guessing. But these types of occurances can cause oneself to consider that there is something at work here that we can't explain. And you try to guess whther or not the gods are trying to send you messages. Messages? Ya, like how we aren't as smart as we think we are...and events are controlled by someone/something more powerful than us.
