Our world’s pretty small, with loads of people, so crazy stuff happens all the time. Like showing up in your future wife’s family photo years before you even meet her or spotting your doppelganger’s portrait at the Louvre. Weird coincidences are just part of life.
Luckily, we’ve got the internet now, so everyone can share their wild stories.
Check out some of the craziest coincidences ever, and who knows, maybe you’ll experience something just as wild!
A Dragonfly Landed Next To A Tattoo Of Itself
Someone managed to snap this photo of their friend’s foot after a dragonfly landed on it. As you can see, their friend already had a tattoo that looked exactly like the dragonfly that landed on their foot. Maybe the little guy recognized it and thought it was another dragonfly or something. We’re not sure, but either way, it’s pretty cool that it landed exactly opposite of the tattoo, and they managed to snap a photo.
We’re just glad that this guy didn’t have a tattoo of a spider or a snake on his foot because who knows what would’ve been crawling up his leg if he had.
This Person’s Dog Was Correctly Labeled
This dog was taking what looked like a really peaceful nap when his owner noticed the shadow spelled out “Dog.” We’re not sure what exactly is throwing the shadow, but it’s pretty neat that even inanimate objects were able to tell that this was a dog and not a cat or a lizard. You could probably look at this shadow and say that it spells out “oog,” but that’s not as much fun.
We just hope that this big guy was able to peacefully finish his nap because he really does look like he’s in a deep slumber. We’re actually kind of jealous.
A Shirt That Matches Taco Bell’s Booth
Firstly, where in the world do you even get a shirt like that? It’s a super unique pattern. This guy walked into a Taco Bell and sat down before realizing that his shirt matched the pattern on the booth. Both share the same really unique pattern, so the odds of this must be pretty low. However, we are kind of curious about where this Taco Bell is because we remember their booths looking a bit different.
Also, if you look really closely, you can kind of see where the two patterns differ, so they’re not exactly the same, but the shirt still blends in pretty well.
This Dog Blends In With The Rug
It’s actually really hard to tell where the dog ends, and the rug begins in this photo. The rug was given to this person as a gift, but we’re sure it didn’t take them long to realize that their furry dog blends in with it. The two are nearly identical shades of white, although if you know anything about white rugs, then you know that probably won’t be the case for long.
If it weren’t for the black specks that make up the dog’s eyes and nose, it would’ve taken us longer to spot him. The owner should just be careful not to step on him when he’s napping on the rug.
Urban Outfitters Sells Socks That Look Like An Employee
This guy’s friend actually posted this photo after noticing Urban Outfitters sold socks that look just like him. On top of that, he’s actually an employee at the store. We have to say; we see the resemblance. The two share the same clothing, glasses, nose, and beard. Even the shirts are similar. Maybe Urban Outfitters just found him and used him as a model for their socks or something.
That said, we hope he doesn’t have to dress the same way every day just to match his doppelganger on the socks. Unless, of course, he has an entire closet filled with the same outfit.
Two Sets Of Identical Twins Married And Had Identical Twins
We’re not sure what the scientific odds of this one are, but we’re sure they’re pretty low. A set of sisters, who were identical twins, ended up marrying another set of identical twins, and they all had identical twins. Yes, we know that’s a little confusing, but it’s probably even more confusing for the family when they all get together. How do they tell their partners apart at Thanksgiving?
The children would be easy enough to tell apart since there’s a set of boys and girls, but the others would have to start wearing name tags or something.
Finding A Painting Of Yourself At A Thrift Store
There are two instances of someone finding a painting of their doppelganger, but we’re not sure which one would be weirder. Maybe this one, though, because the painting was actually found at a thrift store. Whoever posed for this photo just happened to look exactly like the guy standing next to the portrait. They both also like wearing the color red. Honestly, he should’ve bought it and told people it was him.
We could only imagine how freaked out he must’ve been when he first saw this thing, like, “who painted this creepy portrait of me and didn’t tell me about it.”
This Person Ran Into Their Doppelganger At A Coldplay Concert
We’re sure that running into your doppelganger can be a pretty weird experience at first. It’s a person that looks exactly like you but sounds and acts differently. However, the girl in the back of this photo doesn’t look like she has a care in the world. The girl in the foreground had her brother take this photo, but as you can see, they’re both wearing the same exact outfit, and they both look strikingly similar to one another.
This whole thing happened at a Coldplay concert that was going on in Sweden. We wonder if they ever walked up to the girl in the back and introduced themselves to one another.
A Doppelganger Discovered At The Louvre
The guy in the portrait is named Íñigo Melchor Fernández de Velasco. He was a Spanish nobleman who lived around the late 17th century. However, from this photo, it would appear that he is back in form of the gentleman in front of the portrait. This guy was at the Louvre in Paris and noticed that he bore a striking resemblance to the person in the portrait behind him.
If he were to shave off everything but the mustache and wear similar clothes, we bet that the two would be nearly identical. Hopefully, he does that one day for Halloween.
A Book Cover That Looks Like The Reader’s Face
This coincidence is pretty wild. This girl was reading The Merchant of Death by D. J. MacHale when she realized that her face matched the one on the book’s spine. We’re guessing she must’ve had to set it down for a second in order to notice. However, it’s pretty cool because if that’s the main character in the book, then she can just imagine the character looks exactly like her while reading.
Everything from the facial features to the hair match. Honestly, we think finding something like this is more fun than finding a doppelganger in real life, especially if it’s a book you’re really into.
Someone’s Mom Used To Date Matt LeBlanc
If one of your parents told you that they used to date someone famous, would you believe them? This person didn’t believe their mom when she told them that she used to date Matt LeBlanc, and we can understand why. He’s one of the most famous people in the world, simply for his role on Friends. However, she eventually found a photo of herself and LeBlanc, and her child posted it online.
The two look really happy together, and it appears as though this wasn’t too long before he started playing Joey in Friends because he looks like he’s around the same age.
Spotting Harry Potter Doppelgangers
It’s kind of hard to look at this photo and not think that there’s some wonderous wizardry going on here. The three kids in this photo look strikingly similar to Harry, Hermione, and Ron from Harry Potter. However, there’s actually a pretty famous celebrity and musician among the three in this photo. The redhead in the photo is actually Ed Sheeran when he was younger. We’re not sure who the other two are.
And who knows, maybe Ed Sheeran was actually just Ron Weasley all along, but instead of taking up wizardry, he just decided to become a world-famous musician.
This Woman’s Outfit Matched The Carpet
This woman said that she was at a random event when she looked down and noticed that her outfit matched the carpet. And after looking at this photo, sure enough, it does. Actually, it matches it perfectly. We could see the blue matching and just being a slight coincidence, but that top is pretty unique. So, to have both of them together like this is pretty rare, we’d imagine.
She looks like she has a pretty good sense of humor about it and even laid down to get a photo of the whole thing. We imagine her reaction was priceless when she noticed.
The Tag Matches The Dog
We’re not sure if the driver with the “1EARUP” tag purposely bought their plate like that because of their dog or not. However, it’s still kind of wild that the dog just happened to be looking out the back window with one ear up when this person noticed and snapped a photo. The dog is also pretty adorable with its one ear, so we had to add this one to the list.
A lot of photos on this list just happen to capture really spontaneous moments, but this one might just be among our favorites for the dog in the photo alone.
Running Into A Doppelganger At A Tech Conference
If it weren’t for the slightly different colored beards, we’d think this picture was photoshopped. Someone posted this photo after running into their doppelganger at a tech conference, and we can’t imagine the surprise these two must’ve had. They’re even wearing the same outfit. Both of them are also bald, bearded, and wearing glasses. However, the guy in the background doesn’t appear to have any tattoos, or at least none that can be seen in the photo.
We wonder if anyone else at the conference had any trouble telling them apart or if they tried to pass themselves off as identical twins. It’d certainly be believable.
This Woman Found A Cat With Her Eyes
Wouldn’t it be really cool if your cat or dog had the same rare eye colors as you? This woman found a cat with matching eyes and decided to adopt it. The two were just meant to be. They both have a condition called heterochromia, which causes you to have two different colored eyes. She has one blue eye and one hazel-colored eye. There are around less than 200,000 people in the U.S. who can say the same.
However, we imagine that there are far fewer people who can say that they have a pet with matching eye colors, especially a pet cat, as we’ve never seen a cat with this condition.
A Girl Found Her Doppelganger At An Art Exhibit
Finding your doppelganger in public is one thing, but walking around at a random art exhibit and finding it in a painting might be more intriguing. This girl was at an art exhibit in Colorado and found her face on a painting or at least another face that looked like hers. This kind of makes us wonder who the actual model for the painting was and if she’s somewhere out there.
The two are strikingly similar. The eyes, eyebrows, nose, and just about everything else match up. It might be time for this girl to have a conversation with the artist.
One Of These Men Died Right Before Other Was Born
You don’t have to believe in reincarnation to think this is pretty odd. The man in the photo on the left is Enzo Ferrari, as in the Ferrari car company. The man on the right is Mesut Özil, a famous soccer player. They both look identical, but Ferrari died three months before Özil was born in 1988. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, or perhaps there’s something more going on?
We’ll let you be the judge of that, but the similarities between the two are pretty striking. You would probably think they were twins if they were the same age.
Realizing Your Shirt Matches Your Hotel’s Décor
This woman posted this photo online and said that she noticed her shirt matched the paint scheme in her hotel after she walked out of her room. We probably would’ve noticed walking down the hall to the room because they are literally exactly the same. If she stood at the perfect angle, we’re sure that she’d probably blend in with the walls. Luckily, you can still clearly see her in this photo.
It also looks like she has a really good sense of humor and found the whole thing to be pretty funny. We have to guess that she probably avoided that shirt for the rest of the stay, though.
This Person Realized They Were Driving Behind Taylor Swift
Okay, so it’s not the actual Taylor Swift (which would’ve made a good addition to this list, as well), but instead, it’s the name of two trucking companies. They just so happened to line up perfectly in front of this driver to make out the name Taylor Swift. This person probably wasn’t the only one to notice and a lot of drivers probably found this to be pretty funny.
We just wonder if the truck drivers happened to notice while they were driving. If so, they should’ve just driven next to each other for their entire routes.
The Newspaper From This Couple’s Wedding Day
We kind of feel little bad about this one. This couple was recently married, and the bride asked her brother to pick up a newspaper from their wedding day. This is what he got. The front page headline reads “Tragic Mistake” in one of the largest fonts we’ve ever seen. Thankfully, this couple looks like they have a good sense of humor, and they’re just laughing the whole thing off.
Still, the brother likely had a couple of different newspapers to choose from, and he ended up going with this one. We mean, he could’ve also gone with a national newspaper.
The Plates On These Packages Line Up Perfectly
Whoever stocked this shelf deserves raise. It’s not every day you walk into a store and realize the photos on different packaging align perfectly. Someone took a photo of these two boxes of rice, and despite them being entirely different brands, they plate of rice lines up perfectly, right down to the vegetables. This makes us wonder if the two companies just use a reverse of the same images.
We would think this would be less weird if it were just the plate of rice that lined up, but when even the different vegetables line up you have to start asking questions.
The Photo On The Truck Lines Up With The Mountains
We suppose that you have to just be in the right place at the right time for this one, but the photo of the Rocky Mountains on the truck line up perfectly with the actual Rocky Mountains. Even the snowcapped part of the mountain looks like it belongs there. Someone could probably photoshop this image to remove the border around the back of the truck, and you’d have a hard time telling the difference.
Granted, the mountains on the truck do contain a bit more ice, but if you tone that down a bit and they look pretty similar to one another in our opinion.
Finding Your Doppelganger On A Flight
There aren’t very many things that are able to actually make a flight enjoyable, but this just might be one of them. The guy on the right in this photo was taking a flight with his friend, and when he noticed the guy to his left just happened to look almost exactly like him. We’re guessing his friend is the one in the background that’s pointing and laughing. His friend’s wife posted the photo.
But the two do look just alike. They even have the same beard and hair color. Although the guy on the left has slightly bushier eyebrows, besides that they could be twins.
