>Heh. Years ago I stole some of my now wife's socks. It was a pair that said "If you can read this" on one foot "fuck off" on the other foot. Last year we were moving and we're naturally folding all of our clothes. Now we only have two socks. Both say "If you can read this"

>Years ago, I bought ONE pair of Totoro ankle socks. Recently, I lost half of the pair but I’ve kept the lone sock waiting for its mate to return. WHY AND HOW did I JUST pull a full pair out of the dryer? Now I have three Totoro socks. This is unreal…. 🫠🤯 😆😆😆😆

>It’s freaking me out still. Honestly. I can’t think too much on it or it’ll really just mess w my brain… 🤯🤯🤯

>I’ve though of all possibilities- none of my friends know Totoro to the point that they’d have socks, and the only person that would have their socks laying around my place (other than me) is my mom, and she HATES ankle socks.

>I was freaked out at first, then had a lot of things to occupy my brain… now I’m back and freaked out again.

>I don’t have a partner, unless you count my dog or cat. I live alone with them, no human partner. No one else uses my in-unit laundry so no chance that someone else could have this pair and left behind half. It’s literally JUST me

>No clue! This is the first encounter for me, OP. And I don’t like it. I mean, I don’t mind extra Totoro, but not like this.

>Nope! Just me, my dog, and my cat. And my laundry is in my unit, so not chance of someone else’s being left in the dryer.

>Defo believe it’s a glitch. One weird thing that happened to me is I took a string bracelet with a heart charm on it from my mom when she passed and she never ended up wearing it. The idea is you tie a knot in the string and make a wish and when the string breaks naturally the wish is supposed to come true.. well one day I heard a metal clink on the bathroom floor, it was the heart, so I looked up my sleeve to see where the string was, and found that the the string and charm was still attached to my hand… it just straight up duplicated… happened to another family member too she bought a handbag a pretty unique looking one and one day a few months later, there was just suddenly 2 of them

>For Easter I bought my son and step son matching outfits. I bought 2 grey pants and 2 dino shirts. I made sure nobody else bought them the shirts before I got them so it would be a 'special' outfit. How tf do I have 3 when I bought 2 and nobody else has gotten them this shirt

>Strange things have been happening for a few years now, and this is by far one of the strangest.

>Last year I went to an estate sale, and bought a bunch of stuff. The very last thing I tried to buy, was a black, shallow spiral bowl. I looked everywhere for the price tag, but could not find one. Took it to the lady at the cash register, and because there was no price on it, she gave it to me for free. I thanked her, and went along my way.

>Hopped in the car (which all the sudden had an engine light btw), and drove home. As soon as we got there, I popped open the trunk, and froze. Staring back at me was the bowl, with a $12 price tag!

>My rational mind tried to understand what in the glitch was going on. Did a tag fall off another item? I checked the list of everything I bought. Everything that was $12, had tags and was accounted for. In fact, most of the items I bought, were tagged with masking tape, so it seemed very unlikely. But still, my logical brain wasn’t having it.

>Ignoring the fact that the sticker was perfectly positioned, I tried to gently lift the tag with my nail. If in-fact it fell off something else, surely it wouldn’t be fully adhered, right? RIGHT?? The sticker wouldn’t budge, not even a little bit.

>Went back to the sale the following day and spoke with the lady who gave it to me. I showed her the bowl, and she said “Oh yes! That’s my writing, I was the one who priced it”. Then she showed me a smaller white spiral bowl she priced with it. Same kind of tag, same writing, same placement.

>I asked if she remembered seeing a price the day before, and she 10000% agreed there was no price, which is why she gave it to me. My daughter also saw that there wasn’t a price. 3 of us witnessed the exact same thing, so I know I’m not crazy!

>- Would you have bought it for $12? this bowl wanted to belong to you and made itself free

>- For $12, I probably wouldn’t have bought it. Interesting theory!

>- Did you give her the $12 after discussing the mystic tag?

>- I said “I guess I owe you $12”, and she told me not to worry about it.

>We bought a lot of things, and could not fit everything in my car, so multiple trips were made.

>Even if I had been able to fit everything, I still would’ve gone back to ask the lady about it. Wouldn’t you?

>I didn’t go back to “make her explain” why she gave it to me, I wanted to know if she saw the same thing I did.

>Yes you’re right. Definitely bad choice of words. I just meant to say that I asked her about it.

>I did actually offer to pay for it, and she told me not to worry about it.

>It wasn’t a store, it was a massive estate sale. The lady who owned it, passed away from breast cancer.

>That wasn’t the only reason we went back. Some of the stuff we bought wouldn’t fit in the car, so we made multiple trips. I also changed the wording, which took admins a couple days to approve.

>I looked everywhere, and so did the woman at the till. It was not there, that’s why she gave it to me. Pretty tough to miss a white sticker on a black bowl.

>Duplicated puzzle piece

>My son was putting together an alphabet puzzle and he said, “look mom there are two E’s!” I can’t explain it. We only have one copy of this puzzle and I know with absolute certainty there were no extra pieces when we first got it.

>We don’t do play dates and I recently cycled this puzzle into their play area (it had been stored, inaccessible). Prior to this assembly he must have played with it over a year ago.

>My favorite hoodie duplicated

>Finally got around to putting away my winter clothes and realized my favorite hoodie doubled itself? The one with the ripped up pocket is my original one, but one in the exact same size appeared.

>My mom got the first one from my cousin almost two decades ago, but he hasn’t been an EMT in a 12 years. I don’t even live in New York.

>Asked my parents and they both said they didn’t get me it, asked my roommate on the off chance it was hers and no. No clue where it came from but I’m not complaining!

>So, I have two daughters aged 6 and 7 where EVERYTHING has to be the same otherwise there will be arguments! Their older brother got a towel with a pokemon figure on it as a birthday present a few years ago. My girls have argued about being allowed to use this towel when they shower, and there's always been a lot of fuss about this since we only have one.

>Yesterday, both girls were going to take a shower, and the eldest went to get her own towel and went into the shower. When she was finished and came out of the bathroom I asked my youngest daughter to go get herself a towel so I could help her shower. Off course she picked up the pokemon towel but I didnt see that. When she was finished showering she wrapped the towel around her hair and walked out into the living room where her sister was sitting. Then i saw that she had picked the pokemon towel, and thought to myself that they were going to start an argument.

>But then I looked over to her sister and saw that she also had a pokemon towel - completely identical!

>We have NEVER owned two of this towel, as it was a gift. None of the kids have been taking towels to school or had any sleepovers - and I cant figure out where the other towel came from!! 😳

>Sorry for bad picture. Took the picure before throwing the towels in the washer

>Thats the thing that freaks me out! If someone had bought a new towel, there would be a color difference between them. I've had our towel for several years, so it's easy to see that it's starting to turn pale on the blue and black

>The end of the tail is not showing on the towel, so I'll guess we'll never know 😆

>- Watch the second one disappear in the washer...

>- I will keep an extra eye on both towels 😅

>- One of your relatives has got enough of the forevermore argument and done a prank to you all

>- The wierd part is that both the towels seems just as much worn. It's not that one looks newer than the other. We've had this towel for quite some time and it's been washed many times! 😳

>- What did they say when you’re like- how’s there two? ‘There’s always been two?’

>- They were like "oh great, now we both get to have one each" 🤣 Asked them if they knew why we suddenly had two, but they didnt know. The part that freaks me out is that both towels are just as much worn. It's not like one looks newer than the other. We've had this towel for quite some time and it's been washed many times!

>No, it was just a bad picture 😅 Here is another picture. The towels wasnt washed yet, so its a food stain on one of the towels 🤣

>- Garuntee one of them picked it up at the pool based on their fascination with it.

>- But they havent been to the pool, or had gymnastics at school 😳 And we havent been to the beach yet, since its to cold here we live 😔

>- I see that one of them has a stain on his forehead

>- yeah, but I think that is just because I took the pictures before I washed them (after the girls had used them). They are now clean, and its no longer a stain one any of them 🤔

>- Does it have any special unique marks or plucks etc that are duplicated?

>- No, but they both seem just as much worn. It's not that one looks newer than the other. We've had this towel for quite some time and it's been washed many times!

>- What did your daughters think to it? How did they react? This is crazy, I love it! 🤣

>- I asked both of them, but they didn't care much about it. It was like we always had two. But they both asked if they now could have one each that they get to use 😅 Im planning to label both with their names to keep track if one disappears again 😅

>- Isn't one technically your sons?

>- Yeah, but he is 13 now, and do no longer care which towel he uses 🤭

>- The stitches are different on the sides. Looks like it's been cut...

>- But its not 😱 and the labels are the same 😱

>Here is another picture of them. They werent washed yet when I took the picture, so its a food stain on one of them (on the head) but to me they look the same. I have now washed them, and I still have two, and for me they look identical 😳

>Unexplained underwear

>I am losing my mind actually.

>Today while sifting through my underwear drawer I found a pack of 3 underwear brand new small/medium from a store I don’t shopping at that I NEVER bought.

>I live with my blind mother who didn’t put it there and it wasn’t there before it’s literally the first time I’m seeing this underwear. I then looked through my online shopping nothing there.

>I’ve literally been trying to wrap my mind around how it’s even possible. The size is even wrong I’m a medium-large.

>Could this be a glitch? I’m freaking out.

>- Is it possible someone gave them to your mother or someone else who has access to the apartment may have put them in there?

>- Hey so no we stay in a house and it’s just her and I she’s retired. I actually asked her if maybe my sister came by with something for me she said no. She’s as baffled as I am. She has a helper so I’ll ask her Monday but the helper doesn’t have access to my room.

>What’s wild to me is this. Three weeks ago I did buy a new pack of cotton underwear at a different store. Those are still here yes. But these 3 underwear are nylon (I posted a pic in one of the comments) I do not wear Nylon undies even.

>It still has me I’m waiting till Monday to maybe ask her helper. But her helper does not have access to my room.

>Yes I put a pair on last night to see if it fits and it kinda does but is a bit tight so I took it off before bed. I guess I wanted to see if I did actually buy it

>I usually buy my clothes online yes however, the store these undies are from there’s not one close by to where I stay so I can only buy this brand online because it’s the store brand. I haven’t been in this particular store in years

>The double glitch happened to us tonight and I have no explanation.

>We now have two identical Playmobil figures.

>We moved overseas last September. My daughter did not bring any of her Playmobil with her. At Christmas she was given a Playmobil dollhouse, it contained figures and furniture. It was new and sealed. She's played with it a few times and there were no doubles. She has maybe 6 people figures, it's not like she has a large Playmobil collection. Today she played with the dollhouse and there are two identical figures - the teenage boy character. She hasn't had any friends come over and bring Playmobil. She hasn't picked up this figure from school. As far as I can establish it is only available with the dollhouse. She hasn't been given any Playmobil since the dollhouse last Christmas.

>But we know the French word for twin now.

>Edited to add a link to the dollhouse. The 'dad' figure in the green shirt and blue long pants is the duplicate.

>www.playmobil.com/fr-fr/maison-transportable/70985.html

>There you go. It's not very exciting. That's the dollhouse (the seal Playmobil figure in there was from a Happy Meal)

>This is our double of the green shirt man

>Green shirt man comes with the dollhouse. My daughter got it last Christmas, it was new and sealed. There's no explanation why we suddenly have two of him. From what I can tell he's only available with the dollhouse

>I've asked my daughter if she's taken it from school, she said no. We're still new in this country so she doesn't have friends houses she's gone to and taken it, or really have friends over who could've taken it here.

>A book I had doubled itself

>in 6th grade I got diary of a wimpy kid. It was in a pretty rough shape with some rips, stains and tape around it to sorta hold it from falling apart. After the school year ended I realized I forgot to return it. My elementary closed down after I finished 6th grade so I couldn't return it. So I just held on to it. Around 2 years later while cleaning up my bookshelf I found that book, and another book. An exact copy. It was the same story, same color, same rips stains and tape. I did not get more then 1 book so I have no idea where it came from. Im 19 now and those books are still somewhere in my house

>- As a school librarian, I can tell you that ALL of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books look like this!! You definitely took two books.

>- The looks thing can kinda make sense but I can clearly remember only taking 1 Our library didnt have a huge selection so more often then not there would be only 1 copy of each book thats what makes it so weird😭

>It finally happened to me

>My gf was pulling out jewelry from our jewelry box to wear for our date, then she found a second skull ring in there. I’ve only ever had one, it was given to me as a gift. No idea where the hell the other one came from, but we both lost it over the discovery

>We went through every possible scenario, it was my moms then bf at the time that gifted it to me as he was an avid ring collector and this ring in particular was too small for him so he gave it to me. My gf thought maybe he had another one but it’s highly unlikely he would buy the same ring in the size that doesn’t fit him twice. I know I didn’t get myself the same ring because this skull ring is what inspired the start of my own ring collection and I order my rings from the same website so I’ve got the order history. No one else gifted me any rings as I’d remember. Only other option is it spawned or we jumped timelines. Weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced

>Haha yeah it’s a strawberry shaped vase.

>I've been lurking for a while, but last night I had something unexplainable happen. I was reaching into my purse to pull out a pen, and I pulled out a nail file. Which is to be expected, as I always keep one in there. But when I couldn't find the pen on the next try, I brought my purse to the table to look under the light, and saw a 2nd nail file, before finding my pen.

>I have only had this purse for 3 weeks, and I don't stuff it full of things by any means. I have had only 1 nail file I carry with me for years now, no 2nd one in the house or anywhere else. So how did a 2nd one, identical to the first but looking almost like new, show up in my brand new purse that I just moved my stuff into 3 weeks ago?

>I had also emptied the new purse fully before putting my things in (all the paper in the pockets and silica gel packets).

>I thought it was so cool, but my husband was less impressed

>I have used it so many times, on both sides. The 2nd one looks almost new/unused on both sides. Just thought it was cool that this happened, as I've always been interested in the possibility of a multiverse, but never had anything like this happen until now, that I noticed.

>also both sides could not look like they do if they had been stuck together 🙂

>I know you can't trust everyone, but I already did that for myself before taking this picture lol. So here's a video showing both sides of both files.

>I've mentioned I've only owned 1 for years now, and I've posted a video above showing that both sides of 1 are well worn, while the other is like new on both sides. I don't even have a 2nd file of the same type/color anywhere in my home... until now 🙃
