Coincidences seem to happen more often than they should.

It's down to our warped perception. We notice coincidences that happen, but remain unaware of the immensely greater number of coincidences that didn't happen. If we noticed all equally well, the books would balance.

I loved Terry Pratchett's "Nine times out of ten, a million-to-one chance will come off."
