Shirt Coincidences That Are Too Good To Be True

By Jo Arazi

Before you start reading this article, prepare yourself as you will be astonished from start to finish. The question that will always go through your mind is, “What are the odds?”

As funny as each photo is, you can’t help but wonder how rare the chances of these coincidences are. Thankfully as luck would have it, there was a camera on hand to record each of these occurrences for posterity’s sake.

For some people, it was nothing short of pure embarrassment, while some saw the funny side of it. The odds that you are about to come across are so rare that it seems more likely for lightning to strike in the same spot twice than for these clothing coincidences to be real.

Without further delay, let’s jump right in.

Inverted Designs

These two seemed destined to meet; it almost looks like they split one shirt to make two. There is no doubt you must have come across shirts with designs on their sleeves alone and nowhere else, but this example is next level.

If this guy has been having a hard time making new friends, then he can thank his shirt for getting him a new pal, while waiting in line at the bank. We’re sure the moment they set eyes on each other, it must have seemed cosmic.

The Perfect Warning

Have you ever gotten a novelty t-shirt before? If you have, you know they can display their message in a joking way. Sometimes, they are used to show love for a movie star, band, or show. Other times, these shirts can perfectly describe a person’s character.

Although this guy was unfortunate to be in an accident, it’s surprising he didn’t pay attention to the warning message on his shirt. At least, the doctor wouldn’t be surprised. Hopefully, he doesn’t need another trip to the hospital any time soon.

The Perfect Match

When you hear people talk about searching for their better half, you may be mistaken for thinking that the saying applies to relationships alone. However, you can’t blame these blokes who had a chance meeting that seemed fated. This duo appeared to be the perfect match, or at least their t-shirts were.

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s welcome you to the Cookie Monster. It’s strange how something so innocent as a cookie can become so scary when you add the right drink to it. We wonder how they’d react when they discover this.

Too Many Stripes

Whenever you watch fashion shows on TV, they always emphasize the importance of standing out and for you to always be unique. However, this is not possible if you find yourself wearing the same stripes as three other people. You can imagine how annoying this must have felt.

In rare cases, it can happen with two people, and even then, it’s not something that you see often. But if you take odds of meeting three other people wearing the same shirt at the same spot to Powerball, you’ll definitely win the lottery.

Meet Scott

If there is a celebrity you love and you can’t wait to meet, the best way to show your love is to print your feelings on a shirt. In this case, this person decided to wear a shirt that says, “I wish this was Andrew Scott.”

You know what they say about making wishes – be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it. Well, her wish came true, and it was the most awkward moment ever, as she got more than she bargained for.

Stuck in a Swamp

A helpful note to yourself is that you should always check the inscription on your shirt before you go out – especially when you are about to do something dangerous or silly. Unfortunately, this person learned this lesson a little too late.

Image source: conservative memes

These aspiring sailors – apparently they are terrible at it – kind of lost their way on the water and ended up in a swamp. We mean literally. Their adventure seemed okay at first, but they should have listened to the inscription on their shirt.

Ice Cream Kiss

You know, some items may seem out of place, but when placed in tandem with other things, it becomes a perfect match. When this boy wore his Kiss t-shirt, he didn’t expect it’ll bring as much attention as it did.

Image source: ebaumsworld

Everything seemed to be going fine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary until he decided to sit down. The moment he did, Gene Simmons, the frontman of Kiss, decided to take a lick of the ice cream behind his seat.

Chance Meeting

There is no better feeling than wishing for something, and then it happens. It is one of those precious moments you will always hold dear in your life. By speaking your wishes into existence, you’re telling the universe what you want.

As luck would have it, the universe listens. This man voiced how he’d like to meet his idol, Steven Spielberg, on his shirt and how he’d love to shake his hands and thank him. Like we said earlier, wishes do come true.

Construction Guy

Have you ever wondered why they make construction traffic cones and signs reflective white and bright orange? It’s because those colors are impossible to miss at any time of the day. This way, people can recognize them the moment they see it while avoiding the hazard ahead.

Image source: toptenfunnypic

This man took this principle a little too far as he decided to don the exact same colors of construction traffic cones. That’s not enough; he also walked right past them. Luckily, there was a camera on hand to record the priceless moment for posterity’s sake.

Perfect Answer

Having the perfect comeback is one of the moments we all live for. However, these men took theirs a notch further and decided to have a silent shirt inscription war. The man on the left simply asked if the other person is ready to walk the walk.

Image source: brightside

The answer from the other person was even more impressive. He replied that he could fly. This exchange is quite funny as it’s subject to several interpretations. However, we prefer our own version of things and not just the harmless adverts that they are.

Little Birdie

If you ask several people about their opinion on this shirt, you will get varying responses. To some, they believe this little mishap made the shirt better, while some say it makes matters worse. However, we think it’s quite funny.

Image source: asos

From the look of things, the shirt comes with a design showing a bird on a tree. However, the person spilled some coffee on the shirt. Depending on the perspective you see things from, it could either be considered art or bird poop.

Who Wore it Better?

We have come across several people wearing the same outfit as others, but this man was beaten in the game by something you would least expect – a doll. From this picture, you can decipher two things.

Image source: shareably

There’s every possibility this man has the blood of a trendsetter running through his veins. Hence, he creates outfits that motivate doll makers. The second option is that – maybe he was a doll that finally got his wish to become human.

Check and Balance

Don’t get us wrong, we are not conspiracy theorists, and we aren’t propagating any conspiracies. Especially conspiracies that talk about top-secret agencies that are cloning people without their knowledge. Well, if that’s not the case, then we need a credible explanation for this. 

Image source: brightside

For starters, this white and grey checkered dad shirt can’t hide his astonishment. He came across two others wearing the same thing at the same time, at the same place. These are once in a lifetime moments, so he took a picture to commemorate the moment.

Hard to Obey

There are several funny moments that wouldn’t have come to life if not for the inscription on a shirt, and this is one of those instances. The man in the background must have been so fed up with people taking selfies that he wore a shirt to warn them off.

Image source: hongkiat

His message was protested in the most explicit terms possible, but that doesn’t mean others have to obey his instructions. The other man was feeling very petty, and he decided to take up the challenge by doing the exact opposite of what the shirt said.

Hey Kitty

For all the cat lovers out there, there’s no better way of showing your love for your furry friends than these two shirts. These two students are ardent cat lovers, and they are not ashamed of showing this to the world.

Image source: 2damnfunny

There’s nothing as sweet as meeting someone who loves cats as much as you do, and when these two met each other – they couldn’t help but connect immediately. Well, there should be no stopping them from forming their cat society.

Surprising Decor

Choosing clothes to wear for the day is not an easy task, especially for some ladies. So it’s quite surprising that after hours of picking out the best outfit for the day, you go to a hotel to discover your clothes perfectly match the décor.

Image source: twentytwowords

On the off chance, this could be purely accidental, or it’s just like what happened in the horror flick, The Shining. In the movie, the person’s spirit was trapped in the hotel, and this woman just happened to be the happy version of it.

Furry Best Friend

There are several picture-worthy moments in a man’s life, but this picture is one that will melt a lot of hearts. If you are a dog lover, you can see the adoration in the dog’s eyes as he stares lovingly at his dad.

Image source: boredpanda

But that’s not what makes this picture stand out. The man is wearing a fallout series t-shirt with his dog. The best part is that they both recreated the pose perfectly. We are sure this picture inspires lots of people to get their own dog.

Saving Christopher

It’s everybody’s dream to meet a celebrity, especially one you’ve idolized for many years. However, this was not the case for this man who had his wish come true, but the scene played out in the direct opposite way of how it should have.

Image source: demiked

He was able to suitably T-off his favorite celebrity, Christopher Reeve, successfully. Chris got acclaimed fame for portraying Superman, but this fan wasted no time in showing him who the real Superman is. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Reeve appreciated the joke.

Grannies Day

If you were told we were living in a simulation just like what they believed in The Matrix, we definitely would not argue. The reason is that it is getting a little difficult to explain this funny glitches as we would like to call it.

Image source: thoughtcatalog

What are the odds that you would see two grannies wearing the same shirts, strolling along the same path, on the same day at the same time? It’s not like they were twins walking together, but they share enough similar features to be included in our list—freaky Friday vibes.

Kiddies Fun

If you spend a lot of time with kids, you will learn several things, and one of them is having a lot of patience is a blessing. Not only will you be repeating the same commands over and over again, you’ll also have to replace several things.

Image source: boredpanda

The reason is that they love touching things, and most times, they end up breaking them or making a mess. This child’s parents got the perfect shirt for him, which describes him to a T! It is also evident from his face that he’s enjoying every moment of it.

The Perfect Duo

This kind of coincidence is one you’ll only encounter once in a lifetime. Several people have done things that beat the odds, but we believe this tops all of them by a wide margin. Imagine wearing a shirt with a picture on it.

Image source: artsheep

While strolling down the road, the next thing you come across is someone that perfectly fits the description of the person on your shirt. Not only did they have a good laugh about it, but they also had to recreate the pose.

Party Pooper

One thing you need to understand about novelty clothing is that anybody can wear it, but that doesn’t mean they embody it. On the other hand, there are people who take things a notch further, and those people are rare.

Image source: demiked

As luck would have it, we were able to come across one, and the priceless moment was recorded in all its glory. This man needs to be saluted as he’s one of the few people that put their money where their mouth is.

Meeting the Dude

Not many folks on this list have actually met the look-alike on their shirt, it happens occasionally, but it’s rare. This is one of the lucky few who beat the odds. This man was able to meet the person displayed on his shirt. The Big Lebowski needs no introduction to people.

Image source: piximus

This is because of the role Jeff Bridges took on was a popular one, so there’s every chance you’ll find several people wearing the shirt. The surprising thing is actually meeting the man himself, and from the smile on his face, he knew he’d struck gold.

Doing the Opposite

This man needs an award for doing the exact opposite of what his shirt advises. Even though it posts a message that encourages safety, he decided to ignore the warning totally. In truth, the message should not be overlooked, and this man’s actions should be questioned.

Image source: pinterest / truck-memes

How do you warn people always to put their safety first when you’re sitting carelessly at the back of a pickup truck. This is something we advise you don’t do, and in this instance, we insist that he should have listened to his shirt.

Doppelganger

When it comes to comparisons, we often wish we could meet our celebrity look alike. On the other hand, how will you feel when you get to meet your look alike, but it is far from what you had in mind?

Image source: brightside

When this person met his look-alike, it had more similarities to a bear than to a person. In order to show that the resemblance is uncanny, they decided to take a picture. Worse still, the cap isn’t doing him any favors.

The Perfect Mirror Image

We’ve seen people seeing their look-alike on other people’s shirts, but it’s not only humans this can happen to. Sometimes, animals can also meet their look alike, and it’s always a precious moment. This child decided to wear his favorite shirt to the farm.

Image source: asos

Upon seeing how the cow was taking a particular interest in his shirt, he realized the cow was attracted to the cow depicted on it. The beauty of the moment is that this gave the boy the opportunity to pet the cow as he leaned in to take a closer look.

Run a Marathon

This is another coincidence that we’ll consider unbelievable. Here’s what happened, this man wanted to register for a marathon, and he wore their hometowns shirt with their zip code on it. Why they have their zip code on a shirt is another matter entirely.

Image source: boredpanda

However, to his utmost surprise, his race number happened to be the same number as the zip code on his shirt. You can imagine his sheer delight when he discovered this. This was probably the only sign he needed to motivate him to win the race.

Wrong Place

We have come across several funny shirts so far on this list, but this particular shirt stands out for different reasons. Although the message on this man’s shirt seemed harmless, he is probably wearing it at the wrong place and at the wrong time.

Image source: boredpanda

We respect his confidence to wear a shirt with such a bold inscription in the presence of a woman that clearly loves her pet pig. We don’t know if the pig read the inscription and decided to pretend it was sleeping.

Strong Bond

Brotherly bonds are great, but shared love is a tad better. Although, the dedication levels are a little different, the bond remains the same. These two Bill Murray fans both went the extra mile to show their adoration for their favorite actor.

Image source: washingtonpost

To some people, they may mistake this for an unhealthy obsession or even a competition, but it’s neither. It’s nothing but love for their idol, which isn’t a bad thing. However, we salute the man who decided to have a tattoo of the celebrity inked onto his arm for all of eternity. Now that’s commitment.

Lesson Learned

There are times when you begin to wonder if your shirt is all-knowing, especially when the inscription on it becomes real. This was the case for this little girl and her somewhat prophetic T-shirt. While she was rollerblading, she ran face-first into the wall.

Image source: kindersmiles

It didn’t take long before she realized she had broken her tooth, and thankfully, her shirt perfectly described her – she’s become famous for her smile. In most instances, when things like this happen, it ends in tears, but it was different this time.

A Generation’s Voice

This moment can only mean something to you if you are a diehard fan of Sonic. If you are wondering the reason behind the smile of the man with the sonic shirt, we’ll reveal it in a bit. For starters, he has been a supporter of the franchise since it’s inception.

Image source: brightside

He was surprised when a random individual stopped him on the street, but when the man revealed himself, he was shocked. The man was Ryan Drummond, the voice of Sonic in the game. For this man, his dream finally came true.

Pose For the Camera

For some people, its an annoying occurrence when they see other people wearing the same shirt as them. This man’s felt rather differently about it, when he came across this advert, and he can’t hide his pride for wearing what is currently trending.

Image source: insider

However, that’s not the surprising part. Not only is he wearing the exact same shirt, but he also nailed the rest of the outfit that the model on the billboard was wearing perfectly. To finish off, why not take a picture standing next to the advertisement striking the same pose.  

Wu Tang

Let’s be honest, this is all shades of cool. When these two friends took a seat next to each other, they most likely did not realize they combined to create something very iconic. The combination of their names formed the Wu Tang Clan.

Image source: pinterest/ kerrykukan87

Wu Tang is the popular rap group with so many hits to their name. They are quite lucky that their names formed a rap group so iconic. Now that the picture has been uploaded online, maybe they may get a shout out from the group.

Oh Snap

Sometimes, luck may be on your side thanks to the logo on your t-shirt; other times, the reverse may be the case. Maybe next time, when you go shirt shopping, you should choose a shirt with a better inscription.

Image source: boredpanda

This was a lesson this man learned a little too late, but he’s sure not to forget it in a hurry. All he did was to stand casually on a dock just like everybody else. In the blink of an eye, he was hit by a giant wave, and his shirt perfectly summed-up his reaction.

Aim a Little Higher

It is important to always come out with good grades in school, but sometimes, this puts students under a lot of pressure. In the heat of the moment, some people may break down, while some will completely buck under the expectations.

Image source: memeguy

This student must have had enough and wasn’t going to let anything disturb him. He decided to pick an ironic shirt for his picture day that shows he’s not scared of failure. From the smile on his face, he doesn’t care one bit about the opinion of others.

Star Struck

When you wear a shirt that references the actions of a celebrity, just pray you don’t meet them while wearing the shirt. However, if you do, there are two likely outcomes. The best result is that they’ll find it funny.

Image source: twentytwowords

If they don’t, it’ll be better for the earth to open up and swallow you whole. This was the case for this man who happened to meet George Lucas. Unfortunately, the inscription of his shirt did not go down well with the celebrity.

Tech Battle

For years, there has been a constant battle over which is the better product between Apple and Android users. No matter the facts presented, the fans of each side of the divide will never come to an agreement. So, this is one battle that will not end in the near future.

Image source: boredpanda

Well, this Android devotee, is about to become an apple convert as he won an iPad while wearing his favorite android shirt. Although everyone around finds the situation funny, we can’t wait to see if he becomes team Apple after a few weeks.

Rivals

Sports rivalry has been around for so long, and it’s one of the reasons that we love the game. The dueling between clubs is so fierce that you can feel the tension during each game. You can imagine how awkward it feels for the man holding the ball in this picture.

Image source: worldation

He’s a New England Patriots fan, and he proudly wore his shirt to meet Andrew Luck during a meet and greet. The Indianapolis Colts legend saw the funny side of it and happily posed for a picture with his rival fan.

Bill Murray

It seems we have a lot of Bill Murray fans on this list as this is the second time he is appearing. Bill Murray must be loved as his fans can’t seem to get enough of his memorabilia. However, this fan was more than lucky.

Image source: justsomething

Maybe he was able to win a backstage pass, or he was on the same set with the actor and comedian – his stars aligned, and he was able to come face to face with the man himself. This is a moment most fans live for.

Train Track

As a parent, you know one thing for sure, your work is never done. This is especially true if you have energetic children. Unfortunately, this dad must have been exhausted and decided to take a nap, but his eagle-eyed kid spotted something to keep them entertained while dad was napping.

Image source: thomasandfriends

The child saw the train track on the back of his shirt and wasted no time in getting his favorite toy – his train. This only means one thing, the father’s sleep is about to be cut short except if dad happens to be an unusually heavy sleeper.

Great Design

There’s one thing that we can say for sure; this design is fantastic. Whether it’s on a t-shirt or a Styrofoam cup, it looks good anytime, anywhere. There’s every chance the boy will most likely take the cup if he sees it.

Image source: myfooddata

There’s nothing as cool as having a shirt that matches the cup in your hands, especially when the design looks this nice. Although there are slight differences between the two designs, however, the similarities are uncanny.

Where’s My Kid?

It’s always a hassle keeping track of your kids anytime you go outside. No matter how much you try to keep an eye on them, sometimes, they may get escape you for a few moments. There are also some cases that the child may try to play a prank on you.

Image source: dailymail

In this instance, this child noticed the similarities between his jacket and the fire hydrant and decided he wanted to be one. If you don’t look very closely, you may think it’s two perfectly placed fire hydrants except for the black pants.

Matching Socks

For most people, they would prefer to either wear grey or black socks. Sometimes, you’ll come across people wearing brown socks, but it’s quite rare. This guy has always preferred to be unique, and it reflects in the choice of his socks.

Image source: thesun

Everything was perfect until he got to the airport. Everything was going smoothly until he noticed he was getting strange looks. It wasn’t until he sat down that he realized it was his socks that were the center of attention.

Inspired By a Phone Case

Just like jewelry, most people ensure their phone case stands out. People choose their case based on color style and sometimes, functionality. However, this man randomly bought a phone case he liked, and the unlikeliest thing then happened.

Image source: gadgets

At the bus stop, while waiting to catch a bus, a woman walked past him, and he couldn’t keep his amusement to himself anymore. He noticed the woman’s outfit perfectly matched his phone’s casing, and nothing more could have made his day.
