The greatest coincidence of your life
What was the single most unlikely coincidence that ever happened to you?
Here's mine:

It was summer 2003, right before the start of the school year. I was about to start my education as a social worker. I was at an outdoor music festival that lasted three days. On the last day, I was walking across the campsite, utterly drunk, when I heard a voice calling my name. "Hey, Bas!"
So I looked up, and I saw a girl I'd never seen before in my life. She was like "Hey wait, you're not Bas...", which is, in fact, my name. So I told her that, and we had a bit of a laugh about it... She had mistaken me for my lookalike, who also shared my name.

So anyway, the school year started the day after the festival, with this introduction camp for first year students. I was a bit late, so I had this teacher guide me to the place where my new class was waiting. Lo and behold, who's in my class? That same girl.

How's that for a coincidence?
