Coincidence, weird, strange, or smething else [View all]

I was reading something online that asked people to tell their story of an unusual coincidence or something that happened that you cannot explain. For example, one person wrote about seeing their doppelganger and another person who was a teacher who had a student that moved and the teacher didn't know which state. The next year, the teacher moved to another state and on the first day of class that student walked into her classroom.

My strange incident happened in the early 80s. I was stationed at George AFB, just outside Victorville, Ca., and on long weekends I'd visit my parents and siblings in the San Diego area. Before leaving on a Friday afternoon, I got a call from my married sister asking me to bring some record albums down for her to tape.I had over 200 albums so I went through a bunch of them and chose 10 of them. When I got to my sister's house that night, as she was going through the albums I brought she stopped and her eyes grew wide and a surprised look came on her face. She told me while she was shopping that afternoon, she was looking through a section of old albums and she was debating on buying an album and decided not to. That album she was considering buying was one of the albums I had brought.

Coincidence, weird, or strange but I can't explain how out of 200 albums I picked the one she was considering buying that afternoon.
