I've happily discovered today that the recurrence of 11:11 for my wife and I is a wide-spread phenomenon. How about this one: almost everytime we watch t.v., we'll be talking to each other, one of the words we say will be immediately repeated by someone on t.v., within a second or less. I'm not talking about function words ( the, a, on, etc.) or other words common to many sentences (like, you, now). An example would be " Oh, God, I had to work with Karen today, and it was a worse DISASTER than last time!" which would overlap with a news bulletin saying "DISASTER struck Lawrence, Kansas today when a class 3 tornado..."
We've noticed this happening hundreds of times in the past 6 years. A less frequent occurence is when we're driving on vacation, one of us will say something like "Ahh, this back road we found is HEAVENLY compared to I-95," only to see a sign for HEAVENLY RIDGE RD before the sentence is even complete. Do either of these things, or something similar, happen to anyone else?
