"It's a small world after all..."

Talk about a freaky Friday! Rather than try and work out a comprehensible way of describing what happened to encourage me to draw this conclusion, I shall summarise in point form:

Before continuing however, please note that I live in a different city and state to the one in which I grew up, and to get to my home town, you'd need to head south and continue driving for about 17 hours.
  • I take a call from a broker
  • My computer freezes and we chat about random things
  • I discover that this broker got married in a town about 1 hour north of my home town & that her husband grew up in this area
  • My computer continues to be uncooperative so I say I'll call her back
  • I am finally able to search for her email, and recognise her surname
  • When I call her back I mention that I worked with a lady with the same surname
  • She asks me what this lady's name is ... It's her sister-in-law!!!
Crazily small world, dear readers, crazily small world.

Do any of you have any small world stories to share?

Don't tell me you're from the NSW south coast... That would just be too weird for words!

I'm living about 15 hours away from the town I grew up in, but every single day at Uni I see someone from my hometown. Not an exaggeration. We are everywhere...

I am from the NSW south coast, Girl. Freaky.

I'm suprised I haven't bumped into anyone I went to school with up here in Brisbane. So many of us live up here.

my life is a small world story, considering I live two hours from where I went to school from 3rd to 12th grade. Hopefully I will get out of here soon, and THEN be able to tell these kinds of stories :)

My whole life seems to be a small world story! Probably to do with the fact that I hang out with people I've known in various ways since I was 3. Mr. J is someone I never knew and yet the first apartment block I lived in as a small child was right behind his childhood home, my auntie's husband's mother was friends with his grandmother, and much more...
