About 45 minutes ago some kids in a car turn the corner by my house and end up sliding around and up into the snow that's piled up on the curb.
About 45 minutes ago I was out shoveling the snow from my driveway
After spending some more time trying to dig them out we eventually get another car to push them from behind and off the curb.
Stuff doesn't line up like that every day, at least not for me. If I had been more lazy than I usually am, I might have missed the entire thing!
This thread is about stories you guys have. Ever been somewhere at the exact same time when something strange or even awesome happens? Post it!

She had been texting on her phone and didn't see the road curve. I was like 10 feet past they hydrant
it didn't even snow today
wednesday must be when everyone gets together and decides to drive like idiots
I bought gum with it
The gum was stale
We decided we wanted some food but didn't want to go anywhere close so we took a short drive and when we got back the place I had parked in before was taken.
After parking and going inside to eat we hear a tire screech and then a LOUD crash, followed by a small crash. Someone had decided instead of braking at the light that they would instead accelerate and swerve into a parked car. The parked car was a large pickup truck that now instead of having a back end now had nothing and the sidewalk had a new truck-bed and wheels as an accessory.
I was parked in that exact spot ~30 minutes before the accident.
It snowed/is snowing where I live!
it was sort of scary
who me?
oh, Colorado
snowstorm here like 3 weeks ago, some guy parked in the road at the outside and end of a pretty sharp curve in the road, i drive by and the whole side of the car was smashed in, both drivers side windows and rear window smashed out, like 8 notes from douchebags on the windshield
bet that was fun to discover
EVERY. FUCKING. DAY.

the only body part i've ever broken
spoiler alert it's not my penis

Once, I found $200 in twenties on the ground
I turned it in to lost and found
(no one claimed it, so they sent me a $200 check 3 months later)
A few months ago I found a $50 bill
I turned it in to my pocket.

There's a well-lit crosswalk across the busiest street but half the time the drivers don't give a shit and just speed on past. Need to get some reflective tape for my jacket or something
Except not really.
The Acura in front of me, which DID have to swerve to avoid said truck, did some of the most insane fishtailing (and maybe a few spins) I have been lucky(?) enough to witness. Quite scary actually. I dunno if I would've been able to pull myself out of that predicament had it been me.
Didn't do it.
Turned out it was beneficial I didn't do it.
dude ran a red light
i had to literally jump back to not get hit
that orphan later grew up to be a ceo of a large multinational corporation
I don't know what this means

That's exactly what someone like but not really Neil Caffrey would say.
Neal Caffrey, however, is hot
But it still doesn't make sense

I was coming home from class one day, and an old friend of mine from high school (who I hadn't seen in months) pulled up behind me while I was headed home.
Some silly goose rear-ended him while we were sitting at a stop light, while he was right behind me.
It means that you don't get your daily recommended dose of television, that's what it means.
I am trying to say that you are a mischevious rogue with a heart of gold!
See if I ever make a heavy-handed pop culture reference around you again. :x
masturbating at the wheel of a Ford Focus, on the highway.
I was sitting in the passenger seat of a truck,
so it was pretty clear as to what he was doing.
It's not really "amazing" or "right", but it sure was odd thing to witness.
He proceeds to explain that he's drunk and has been wandering in circles for hours, trying to get home. This afternoon he received news that his daughter had been killed in Afghanistan, ten days before she was scheduled to return home.
There's thirteen of us there, all part of the same small group, and he asks us to pray for him. At this point he's breaking down, talking about how he's been getting drunk and picking fights all day, was refused service at a McDonald's, and has been seriously contemplating suicide.
We pray for him and his daughter, and talk with him afterwards- he admits that he was expecting us 'skateboarders' to jump him when he first came up, and pretty much wishing for it.
Some of my friends walked him home. I'm praying he makes it through tonight.
And I don't mean the "hey, look at that, the blinkers are the same, oh wait, they're slightly off and become more off if you watch longer" kind of synchronized.
I mean they were absolutely perfectly in time with each other. I never thought I'd see it with two cars, let alone three.
also i immediately thought of the gman at the start of halflife 2 when i read this thread title.
I was walking home from work in Chicago one day, and it was raining, so I had my umbrella over one shoulder and I was talking to my mother on my cell phone with my free hand. I was standing waiting for the walk sign to go, and when it turned green I started across just in time to see the hood of a taxi slide into view beneath the curve of my umbrella.
All my mother heard was "WHAT THE FUCK" and then the click of my phone disconnecting.
I was fine, though! The taxi was turning right and was empty so he wasn't going very fast. I dropped the umbrella and rolled onto the hood of the taxi cab and then fell off onto the ground. My umbrella was completely crushed by the car but I only skinned my palm and my knee.
Too bad we can't be broke-butt buddies, Sweeney Tom! (Only not too bad because I wouldn't want a broken butt.)

thing that annoys me most is when people don't indicate that they're turning because there's no cars around. Still pretty useful information for me to know if I'm crossing the road you're turning into, fuckass!
