Ill try to make them short.
Story 1
I had this task at work, when completed I reply to the email from which the task was sent within the company. One of the people cc'd to the email contacts me and happens to be an old friend(lets call him John) from junior high school I haven't spoken to since, he works 1 floor below me. I tell my friends who also knew him from back then that I ran into John. So the chances of this happening is not uncommon. Among our discussion of the mere coincidence, a known fact was mentioned that another friend of mine from high school(lets call him Doe) whom I also haven't spoken to since happened to work within the company as well. Well I've discovered that he also works 1 floor below me in the same group as John and they've never known each other prior to working here. And this is a big company with over 100,000 employees and has global offices including 5+ here in NYC. It was quite a freak coincidence that 2 people who didn't know each other prior to working together in their group each happen to be someone I knew from different schools. And now I work with them, albeit not in the same group but the same division.
Cliffs:
-Ran into an old friend from JHS whom I haven't spoken to since at work.
-Found out one of the people who works in his group is an old friend from HS I haven't spoken to since.
-Old friend 1 never knew old friend 2 prior to working at this company.
-They both work 1 floor below me, all 3 of us work in the same division(Less than 100)
-Company has over 5 offices in this city(dozens more globally) and over 100000 employees.
Story 2
During a trip to HK, my friends and I were introduced to this guy(lets call him John too) who gave us a mini tour as he knew the area well from travelling here many times. Anyway during our vacation, we took a side trip to Macau and when we got there we ran into John. At the end of the day when as we were heading back to HK, we ran into him again. Fast forward 3 month, we're back in the states. We're at a birthday dinner for 2 friends who shared the same b-day, there were about 16 people, some of whom we've never met and one of them happen to be none other than John. Now the guy who introduced us was not at this party nor is he a friend of or knew anyone there but John so by mere coincidence, John happen to run into us everywhere in 3 different cities via parties that have no relation to each other.
Cliffs:
-My friends an I were introduced to some guy during a vacation in HK
-Ran into him during a side trip to Macau
-Ran into him again the same day leaving Macau
-Ran into him 3 months later on the other side of the globe during a birthday party
-None of the people at the party knew the person who introduced us to the guy so he was there by coincidence. Basically there was no connection between these friends that would lead us to believe we could be expecting him.
