"I was studying abroad halfway around the world when I met a guy who asked if he could sit down and practice his English with me. He explains that he had learned as an exchange student in the US but hadn't had a lot of opportunities to speak it since. What part of the US, I ask? "Oh, they sent me to the middle of nowhere. A tiny little nothing town. You wouldn't have ever heard of it." Well, I'm from the midwest, it's worth a try.
It turns out he'd spent a year in my parents' hometown, a town of 5k in northern Missouri. I've spent months of my life in this town. I'm probably somehow related to his host family. But he's right, 99.99% of Americans would never have heard of it."

Saw a girl at a local coffee shop playing a guitar. I knew her but only as a bully in high school, who came back and apologized as an adult, but no real association. I stared hard at the guitar and said to her "that looks just like my mom's guitar", she says a guy named Richard gave it to her to learn on, and that was my older brother, and it WAS my mom's guitar. I told her if she ever was going to get rid of it I would like it back. Two years later I was visiting my sister and I see it in the corner, and I was like "is that mom's guitar" and she said she didn't know but a girl gave it to her to learn on. Never thought I would see it again.
#16 I don't see the coincidence here. Guy buys a house and meets a girl... was it 6 houses down from the one he bought? Did he still buy it?
