20 amazing coincidences that made for some eye-popping photos
Remarkable things happen all the time. Some of us take a strange concurrence of events as a sign, while others simply call it a coincidence and move on.
Regardless of how you interpret a moment when the universe seems to be messing with you, you have to admit they can make for some pretty fascinating photos.
Check out these 20 unexpected moments:
1. Flying a relic
Twenty years ago, a man went to an air show and sat in the OH58 Kiowa – and it was then that he decided to become a pilot.
One day when he showed up at his airfield as an adult, he asked if they had ever had a Kiowa with the same tail number. It turns out the plane was on the premesis and he had even flown that very aircraft the previous month.
A photo of my friend sitting in the aircraft when he decided to become a pilot…and another photo of the same aircraft twenty years later. (Story in comments) from r/pics
2. Does he know?
Sometimes you just have to stop and snap a photo of an uncanny resemblance.
But this probably isn’t the kind the man in the photo was capable of seeing for himself.
Still wondering whether he did this on purpose or not from r/funny
3. Take a right at the moon
It’s always fun to see a silly coincidence.
Then again, some people claim it’s Photoshop. The comments got pretty nasty for such a random photo.
Pretty sure this is some sort of astronomical phenomenon from r/pics
4. Is that really what I look like?!
Even if this birdwatcher was hanging out in a place where this species lives, it’s still kind of amazing that one managed to land on a page of itself.
Do you think it’s like looking in a mirror or does this bird think it found the perfect mate?
This bird landed on a page about itself from r/nevertellmetheodds
5. Mirror image
Speaking of creatures landing near pictures of themselves, check out this dragonfly.
But why did he land backwards? Was he offended by the likeness?
A dragon fly landed on my friends foot and mirrored its own tattoo. from r/mildlyinteresting
6. Follow safely
We just hope this person wasn’t in the driver’s seat while taking a photo of their phone.
But it’s pretty amazing that it appears she took her background photo herself instead of using a stock image since the photos are so similar.
The print on the lorry in front is in the same spot my wife took her background photo. [x-post /r/mildlyinteresting] from r/nevertellmetheodds
7. If you’re going to get stuck behind two trucks…
…they might as well make you laugh.
Do you think these drivers did this on purpose?
8. Worst luck ever
Every number is off by 1.
Is that even a coincidence?
9. Whoopsie
Coincidence or irony?
We’ll let you argue over the semantics.
Ohh the irony. from r/funny
10. Maintaining the view
Well, at least you can’t get too mad at this driver for blocking your view of the mountains.
The landscape is technically still there, both literally and figuratively.
The mountains and trees lined up perfectly on this camper on the highway from r/mildlyinteresting
11. Her wish came true
Now that’s a pretty amazing moment.
She probably wouldn’t have gotten a photo with Andrew Scott if not for the shirt.
12. Grusome coincidence
Ugh. What a moment.
In fact, it’s hard to find humor in that morbid coincidence.
Bad timing (x post from r/imgoingtohellforthis) from r/nevertellmetheodds
13. Half and half
Well isn’t that something?
We can’t imagine she walked between the cars on purpose unless she knew the person taking the photo.
14. It runs in the family
Apparently this book is a family favorite.
But who knew you’d end up reading the exact same book as your mom and grandmother – especially when it’s a library book?!
Daughter got a book in the discarded book pile at her HS that my wife and her mom also checked out when they were in HS from r/interestingasfuck
15. Stairway to heaven
Apparently the music gods were rocking out that day.
We wonder if it would have looked like a guitar to the photographer without the “strings.”
16. Thanks, man!
Now that’s a bird with great timing!
We just want to know how they knew who to send the photo too if they didn’t have the license plate number.

17. Rainbow connection
Well that’s pretty nifty.
Do you think all of those cars belong to Roy G Biv?
I noticed suddenly all cars in my street lined up by color. Coincidence? from r/nevertellmetheodds
18. Serial number or instructions?
What are the odds?
Or was someone just trying to be clever?
19. Glitch in the Matrix
If we were taking that photo and we weren’t already bald, we might be worried.
20. Shot from a bow
It’s all about the angle here, but you have to admit it’s a pretty cool photo.
(And don’t worry, the OP was already been corrected on the title typo!)
The plane looks like a projectile shit by the statue from r/mildlyinteresting
