    I had several encounters with the same person in unrelated events, over the course of 10 years:

    During my traning and education (apprenticeship) there was a dude. He was in the same group/ class, but we had nothing to do with each other, beyond knowing each others name. After my apprenticeship finished I never saw or heard from him or anyone else, since I had begun working.

    After a couple of years I had to serve mandatory military service. At that time every male aged 18 or above had to go to either of the military branches (I went to the equivalent of Navy) for a couple of months. That dude from my apprenticeship was not only in the same company, but he was put into the room/parlor next to the one where I was put in.

    After military service I was searching for a job and I found one. Guess who I had to work with: that dude from military service!

    Some years later I was riding the train. When I got in, I saw that same dude again! We chatted for a brief time, after that he left the train.

    Somehow I doubt that this will be the last time we met. It feels like the simulation got lazy and sent always the same guy!
