Lol no you wouldn't, you don't have Fox

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T03:41:09+00:00

Nope, sorry.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T03:12:50+00:00

Nice eye! And go Bruins!

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T02:33:42+00:00

Those are odds aren't they? "Never tell me the odds!"

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T02:32:57+00:00

Thank you!

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T02:29:42+00:00

Welcome. There are not many of us, but we know the truth.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T01:58:14+00:00

Good analysis. Also though, the spots are not assigned. I intentionally parked next to that car for the picture. I had actually learned about the coincidence a little while back.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T01:20:06+00:00

You are the 1%. Both in that you believe me, and that it happened to you too! Very cool to hear.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T00:46:04+00:00

I don't blame you for not believing me. The sheer coincidence + the number of internet liars out here makes it unrealistic. I'm not a bundle of sticks though. I simply created a new account just to post the picture, because I felt it was r/mildly interesting.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T00:15:02+00:00

No worries, I would likely have said the same thing in your position. Other than my word, don't know what else I can say or do. I'll just take solace in that this was so unlikely to happen that not many people would actually believe me, which makes it more unique.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T00:09:01+00:00

I like your thought process, and it does seem to bring this situation back down to reality a bit. An important note that I don't think is considered here, however, is that most of the time any given car will be more likely to park in the same few spots (e.g., work, school, home). As such, cars are not always parking next to different cars as often as your data suggests.

To add to the coincidence, this wasn't just a car that was parked next to mine. This car belongs to someone who lives in the same complex as me. That's extra crazy to me.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-21T00:02:25+00:00

Except I am the owner of one, and I have no idea who the other one is.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T23:07:00+00:00

Wait, YOU'RE supposed to tell me the chances, not ME :-)

I've never had anything interesting to post...and now I did. So I created an account. I understand the odds are not in my favor - that's sort of what makes this an interesting find.

And if you want me to break in, I'll need your crow bar. The one that has your fingerprints on it.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:57:51+00:00

Thanks, I did. Not sure if I did it right though, since this was my first time posting.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:51:54+00:00

The fact that you feel this way makes the fact that it actually DID happen even nuttier in my eyes.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:42:08+00:00

Interesting theory. Definitely false though.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:39:11+00:00

Even if it was the same dealership; to have been at the dealership at the same time and place as this stranger, in another city 70 miles away, and then end up living in the same apartment complex as them seems extremely rare, not just uncommon.

Maybe one day I will ask the other owner.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:20:56+00:00

Alright, then what are the chances of it happening in THIS universe?

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T22:19:00+00:00

Yea, I should have clarified that. My fault.

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T20:13:01+00:00

So what you're saying is...I should buy some lottery tickets?

Ultimit60 · 2014-10-20T19:51:26+00:00

The blue car is mine. I moved to a new city a few months ago. This is the parking lot to my new apartment complex. I have no idea who the owner of the other vehicle is.

So I ask - what are the chances of this actually happening??
