365QOD- Day706


“It is a little box inside a big box” – an attempt to explain an event

Most of us have had an experience when we go away somewhere and meet someone new.  While talking with that person we quickly establish that they know someone that we know or know someone who knows someone we know.  It is an interesting feeling.  You think to yourself that the world has 7 billion people and it should not happen. 

Recently I went to an area in Miami that I absolutely love- Lincoln Road.  While looking at the new Tesla vehicle store my wife ran into someone she knew.  Afterwards she was surprised.  How can this be?

The way I explained it to her was the following: Imagine Miami as being a big box like the size of a room.  You have interests and places that you enjoy.  This is like a little shoe box inside that room.  Your fried by definition enjoys some if not all of the interests and places that you do.  So their shoe box is next to your.  It should be of no surprise that once in a while the two boxes run into each other.

Today’s question is:
“Have you run into someone you knew at an unexpected place?”
