Got a example of its a small world?

When I was 13 I threaded some half inch pipe together until I had a tube long enough to go from my basement window and into my neighbours basement window.  Then at night I would make ghosts sounds through the tube until the neighbours lights would go on and I would  stop making ghosts sounds until their lights went off then I would start making ghosts sounds again. I did that every Saturday night for a couple of months. 10 years later I was living in a city 2000 miles away. One night I was at a party and I overheard a gal talking about how when she was a kid she lived in a haunted house on Bridge avenue. I went over to her and made some ghosts sounds and told her that I was the ghost of Bridge avenue then told her about the tube thing. She was pretty mad at first but eventually we had a laugh about it. Cheers!

    Sometimes it is.. I was serving on the HMCS Huron when we were visiting Portsmouth England when I wandered into a pub just outside the dockyard. Guess who I should meet but a couple of friends of my sister from back home city of Portage La Prairie Manitoba.  Chatted for a while then we went our separate ways.

    It was the first example that came to mind. :)

    I hope I don't go to Hell.

    Similar to Kittigate, I was in the enlisted man's club in Norfolk, VA, and was chatting it up with a women and eventually found out she went to elementary school with my sister.

    Your description in your answer blows me away. That's better than many books I've read and movies I've seen.  :)

    Ha, I like those stories, yet I only have the opposite... Staring at the apartment block on the other side of the street and thinking not only how I don't know anybody there, but how they don't seem to be spending time with one another either. 

    Gotta ask - what oh what did those neighbours do to you, Nanoose? Because that's pretty hilarious.

    Danilo_G -- the first part of your answer is wonderfully poignant to me.

    And your last part - - I'm laughing with you.  :)

    :)

    Hehe -- thanks, Welbz :) 

    A passenger on nightly car trips, I enjoyed looking up at the variedly-lit living rooms above street level as they passed by. It's only to see whatever may be on people's windowsills (flowers, lamps, trinkets, books), and what their walls and ceilings are like. And then to assume it says a lot about us...

    You're welcome.

    And I get it. We could have been passengers in the same car - - innocuous things like that can appeal to me, too.

    And maybe "innocuous" was not exactly what I meant -- I guess I meant interesting-to-me things that don't scream out for attention yet can still sometimes grab attention.
