I was about to eat a nacho cheese dorito once, decided not to, later that day, it saved my life by pushing me out of the way of an on-coming speedboat...

I had a similar experience to Neue, but in my case it was a Cheese Bugle, and it dragged me out of quick sand.

- it's the cheese greater factor...neue75_bold

You know when you are walking, well, actually what you are doing is falling, over and over again, and just landing on the foremost foot, every time. Walking is, basically, falling.
If you don't believe me, next time you go for a walk, wait until you're up to speed, and then with-hold one of your feet.

ok here is an example of what im looking for:
you meet your colleagues in a bar to celebrate your promotion, you order a round of drinks and realise the bar tender is your ex girlfriend that dumped you to pursue her 'modelling' career...- Just say "Hi Brian, hope you're well" and go and sit down.Spookytim
- that's not really a twist of fate, that's just a bad Coke Zero advertisement..neue75_bold
- granted, its just an exampletotally_recalled

that isn't a twist of fate, that is meeting your ex in a bar.

I just literally popped out the studio to get some fresh air by walking round the block, I stopped to pick up a penny off the pavement... good job I did as from nowhere a car came right out in front of me, up over the kerb, across the pavement and straight into the antique dealers front window.
The old lady driver had a heart attack whilst driving (she was 90 odd) and passed out whilst pulling out of a side road.

Last year I went to get some petrol at night about 9pm, anyway I get to the main junction to my road which leads to the petrol station, as I stop at the junction I see this one car coming up the road, now it was quiet that night and I could have just pulled out of the junction, but for some reason I did not, and I let the car pass, I then pull out of the junction and turn left and follow the car which just past me.
So I am following this car along the road, the next I know I see this lorry pull straight out of a junction without stopping first and smash into the car in-front of me, I manage to slam on my brake and just miss the lorry, Let just say that the car that got hit by the lorry was not a pretty sight, but both passengers got out alive. It was only when I got back into my car and got to the petrol satiation that I released that It would have been me in that crash if I did not let that car past me at the first Junction.

Things like this are only remarkable in that had they not happened they would not be worth mentioning. You only notice when coincidences happen, not when they don't.
ie, it's amazing how many people don't bump into old acquaintances at the top of the empire state building, litterally millions every year, but you only hear about the ones that do. Coincidences are for people who don't understand probability :)- so it not magic thenroundabout
- Well, that's taken all the fun out of that then.
ps. Please mention this to all your Creationist friends. If any.detritus

I once was going to pick up the left most pint of two. Just as I was going to I changed my mind and picked p the right one. Good thing I did as the left one was off and gave my pal the shits.

I met this girl a while back and thought damn she not only cute but shes really cool as well. Anyway the same day I meet this crazy old man preaching stuff about his daft religion and going on about some man made moon. Well it only goes and turns out that the girl I met is my sister and that twat of an old man is my father...
