Odd ASOUE Real-Life Coincidence Thread

I forgot to mention this, but recently I found out that my parents had sung me a coded song multiple times in my early childhood. It wasn’t VFD related, but it was a coded song nonetheless.

My parents encouraged me to drink tea.

That’s normal though.

Well, it depends on what part of the world TheAsh is from.

The eyes, the pinstripes and the fact that English teachers are incessantly and inexplicably sending this song to students around the globe, and people still completely deny VFD or blame the Illuminati. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was downloading a document from the internet, and I found it was called 'document', which reminded me of the paragraphs about the weather at Damocles Dock, filed under 'Paragraphs'.

I am watching a movie that a shutter obituary writer is one of the main characters, Dewey's decimal system is quoted, the phrase "this is the wrong question" is repeated over and over.

What is a shutter writer?

Also, I saw this on a blog I follow:

'footpaths, some long and secluded, others short and snickety'.

I know of snickets, as in urban footpaths linking streets, but I've never seen 'snickety' in the real workd before. Though perhaps that's more of a 667 real-life coincidence.

My Grandma owned an antique shop, and when she died a lot of antiques were left in her house. We have found an inordinate amount of pictures of fires and firefighters in the house. Almost too many not be a coincidence.

I'm at a fastfood, and I found it written on the cash register.

ASOUE on Pointless, number X in an ongoing series: there was a a round on fictional families. Contestants were given the first names of members of a family, and had to guess their surname. Violet, Klaus and Sunny B got three points. One contestant knew it, but did not give it as her answer (rightly, since the answer she did give got two points).

And does anyone know Pod, Homily and Arietty C? That was a pointless answer, but I knew it. It's probably a generational thing.
