Not buying the twin excuse for that repeat stranger sighting

People keep saying seeing the same person at the gas station and then the store is a glitch. They jump straight to the twin theory or simulation talk. I once noticed a guy with a very common jacket and hat in both places. It was just a busy day with lots of folks out. We should NOT ignore how ordinary stuff can look weird sometimes.

Three jobs ago? You remembered his walk?

Remember rushing up to tap a guy's shoulder thinking it was my old coworker from three jobs ago. Turned out to be a total stranger who just had the same walk and a similar green jacket. Felt like a total fool, but it really showed me how our brains are just wired to spot familiar patterns, even when they're not really there.

Ever think it was weird until it happened to me?
