Sometimes, real life is bizarre than fiction. Everything changes suddenly just when you think you know how things will turn out. In this article, we’ve collected 11 real-life stories that took completely unpredicted turns. From strange coincidences to amazing discoveries, each moment will make you guessing right up to the last minutes.Story 1:
The first time meeting my boyfriend’s family, who live in another country, we stayed in his old attic bedroom. In the middle of the night, he reaches over and shakes me awake. “Huh?” I mumble, and he says, “Shhh… be very still… I think there is someone else in the house.”
I lay motionless, thinking that someone has broken in, and my life is in danger, listening to the sounds of the old creaky attic, convinced every gust of wind is a footstep. He puts his arm around my head, covering my ears. I don’t move for hours in fear… until I hear him snoring.
And that was the night I discovered, for the first time, he talks in his sleep.
Story 2:
I had an affa:ir with a coworker whilst on a break with my boyfriend (now ex) and then rekindled with my ex within two weeks. I became pregnant, and the dates pointed to my ex. I had a very dark-skinned baby with my ex supposedly, but we realized the baby couldn’t be his (and no one believed she was his). I got back with the coworker on the premise that this had to be his baby.
A DNA test proved months later that my dark-skinned baby is my blonde, very white ex’s. Things are great, and the coworker adopted her.

Story 4:
For illustrative purpose only
Thirteen years ago, I had my oldest son, who was born one month premature. He was in bed 13.
Another boy was in bed 9, born two months premature. I have them both on home video because we were both there every day.
Fast-forward 13 years. I am now that other boy’s stepmom, and the boys are as close as brothers could be.

Story 6:
In college, four of us lived in a two-bedroom apartment. I shared a room with Reuben, who was a really introverted, shy nerd who didn’t seem capable of socializing well or talking to women much.
We had a small group of us go to this karaoke bar, picking the usual bad songs and singing stuff. Reuben hadn’t joined in or sung anything, so we pushed him a little bit to pick a song, and he chose “Always” by Atlantic Starr.
Then, it was like a moment out of a reality show—he just totally rocked that song, singing his heart out with more passion than I’d ever seen him put into anything. We were all silent and in awe that he could belt out a song like that and sing perfectly.

Story 8:
For illustrative purpose only
I worked with a guy for 17 years. We got along pretty well and were work friends. I always covered for him when he messed up, needed a day off, or whatever. I never once complained to the boss about anything he did, even when sometimes I probably should have.
Then I found out that for the last couple of years, he had been running me down in front of our supervisor. Any complaints I had made about work between us, he was running off to tell the owner. ©

Story 10:
My boyfriend’s parents came over for the first time. All was perfect—until his mom went to the bathroom. 15 mins passed. She was still there. 20 mins later, my boyfriend checked on her.
For illustrative purpose only
When she finally got out, her mood had shifted. She grabbed her bag, and they quickly left. My boyfriend yelled, “You could’ve warned me!”
I went—or more exactly, I rushed over—to check what was going on and suddenly froze when I saw my bathroom in a total mess. My entire floor was covered in napkins, and the smell was seriously awful.
That’s when I remembered that my boyfriend’s mother had a severe gluten allergy. I had forgotten about it and served her a homemade cake that wasn’t gluten-free. They had assumed that I remembered her allergy and that I was very careful, and my boyfriend was furious that I had forgotten.
But to be fair, he had just mentioned it once, although he swears it was more. Now I can’t even know what to do to make it up to her, and I think we will never get past this awkward situation.

Story 12:
A long time ago, when I was just starting kindergarten, I would ride the afternoon bus home. For the first few weeks, I would see my grandpa on the side of the road by the entrance to my neighborhood. When I got home, I told my mom all about it—how he just stood there and waved at me. All I got were perplexed looks.
The reason? My grandfather had passed away two weeks before school started. What I didn’t find out until recently was that he had died right by the pond, a few feet from that road
