Or the flip side is how oftern do you notice absoloutly no coincedences happening?
Ive lost count the amount of times Ive thought of someone and they havent phoned/emailed me :lol:

People remember things that stand out more than the mundane.

That's very true, although I'm pretty sure I notice things happening to me far more than other people do that I've spoken to. Perhaps I'm just more aware of myself than other people are?

Are you trying to tell us you're self-centred?

Re: The coincidence thread

I belive theres no such thing as coincidences, everything happans for a reason and if many coincidences happen to humans then they are very "tuned in" to the world etc :shock:

Mark

I suppose it's possible, IME people who are don't usually realise until someone points it out.

I guess I'd choose "self-aware" rather than your, rather meaner description though :lol:
