What's your best "small world" story?
Most people have "small world" stories--meeting a person from your small hometown on the other side of the world on the only day you'd both be in the same spot, etc.

1. I grew up in the middle of nowhere. After my divorce, some good friends of mine had really pushed me and this guy together. He and I hit it off from day 1, but he just wasn’t what I was looking for. We were really good friends for a while, but then went our separate ways.
Fast forward 3 or 4 years later…I’d moved to the city about 2 hours away. A friend and I had lunch and then were walking down the street after, exploring the different businesses when all of a sudden I hear my name called out. I turn, and it’s him! He was working in the area temporarily for a few days and we just happened to cross paths.
2. So the man I’d been married to, we’d met and lived in the middle of nowhere previously mentioned. We had a very amicable divorce, but we didn’t stay in touch once we moved into new relationships out of respect to our partner's.
About 8 years after we’d lost touch, I’d moved to the city, but worked in a place outside city limits NO ONE I knew from back home would ever be. You had to have a membership and everything. Well, on days I’d come in before we opened, I’d have to be buzzed in through the back door. Private access and all that. One day, they let me in and imagine my surprise when the first person to greet my eyes was my ex husband! I instantly just said, “what the heck are you doing here?!” 😂😂 I was sooo caught off guard! Apparently he’d started working for a delivery company and we were one of his stops for the day. Surprise to us both! Lol
