15 People Told the Stories That Made Us Go, “You Cannot Be Serious!”

Many of us have stories that other people can’t believe. So, Reddit users decided to share them online so that more people can read them. And we are always ready to attract more attention to amazing situations from real life, so we publish the best ones.

• I was visiting the UK for the first time. I got to my hostel and started chatting with the Australian guy. When I mention where I’m from, he says there’s a famous restaurant there he really loves and goes to with his family every time they visit. Turns out it was a place I used to work. He says, “Hey I have a picture of our server from the last time I was there, maybe it’s someone you know.” It was me. © snake_juicy / Reddit
• There was a huge housefly, annoying me in the kitchen. I had already chased it around with a flyswatter to no avail. Decided to flick it with the towel, not expecting at all to hit it. There was a sharp crack, the tip meeting it perfectly in midair. © bravehamster / Reddit
• I opened my wallet to show my friends I had no money, and a moth flew out of it. © Plethorian / Reddit

• I was walking through the woods with my boyfriend in high school, and we found some papers scattered everywhere. They were really old and gross, but we picked up a sheet to see what it was, and it was a homework assignment I completed and turned in during the 4th grade. © JewishFightClub / Reddit
• Several lightning strikes on my houses. Like five. I have been to many experts. Thought with the first house that perhaps there was a physical reason. Now that the second house has also been hit, decided I irritated Thor. © PanickedPoodle / Reddit
• Have a 2-dollar bill that has my and my wife’s signature on it, saying “just the 2 of us”. We did it when we first got together and after a while had it framed. Some years later it was stolen. I ended up going to a random gas station weeks later and got it back as change. Literally just stood there and stared at it in disbelief and told the cashier about it. Just insane coincidence and luck. © Straight_Spring9815 / Reddit

• My husband and I woke up in the middle of the night to a hideous growling noise in our bedroom. We were both jarred awake and started trying to turn on the lights. And there, beyond the footboard of our bed, were two identical-looking gray cats, growling at each other. We only have one gray cat. Literally, seconds after we flipped on the lights, they get into a fight. Finally, they run into the next bedroom and one cat jumps out an open window. P.S. we’re like 97% sure it was not our cat that jumped back out the window. © TNTMT / Reddit
• Just found out my deceased dad had 100,000 stocks from his great-grandfather from a very large bank. It’s worth millions. Still doesn’t feel real. © New-Understanding740 / Reddit
• I was in a nightclub and a woman was dancing around me. I said: “Show me your ID, and I’ll show you a magic trick.” She handed me her ID and I handed her mine and said, “Look at the birthday.” We had the same birthday. To this day I have no idea why I said that or what the magic trick was going to be that I was going to show her. © dewayneestes / Reddit

• My service dog was sitting on the couch with me in my college dorm as I was watching a video on my laptop. I had to get up and forgot to pause my video. In front of all my roommates, I said “Sparty, pause my video” as a joke. And she did. She hit the space bar and paused it. © roslyns / Reddit
• My dog got stolen from me in a Target parking lot... And I got him back by tracking down a black mustang with pink racing stripes, no license plate, and no professional help. All in less than 24 hours. © NYC2188 / Reddit
• When I was a young comedian, Robin Williams stopped in to do a surprise set on a show I was hosting. Talked to him for 20 minutes after the show. Then I handed my friend a camera (not a phone, that’s how long ago it was) and asked Robin for a picture. He gave me a huge bear hug and said “How about now?” © thehofstetter / Reddit

• My dog escaped from my house one day 7 years ago. The first months we had no sign of him so he was gone for good. And 6 months, I came home and there was a dog lying at my front gate in very bad shape. I couldn’t recognize it was my dog from the state he was in. I took him to the vet. We looked for a chip he had on his ear, scanned it, and it was him. © ParryHotter1994 / Reddit
• I landed my aircraft on someone’s lawn one day. I walked up to the closest house and knocked on the door. A guy opened the door and I asked, “Where am I, and whose lawn is that?” He looked at me like what the heck is going on. Then he looked around the corner and finally understood what happened. © CorstianBoerman / Reddit
• My wife and I were by the parking lot at Camp Four in Yosemite, waiting for a friend to finish a climb. All of a sudden, an elderly man walks out of the woods and casually through the camp. He was wearing a red tutu, fishnet stockings, a leather corset, and a police cap. He then continued on to another trail and disappeared. © spomeniiks / Reddit
