The red hat lady showed up in two towns at once
I was driving to work yesterday and stopped at a coffee shop in my town. I saw a lady with a bright red hat and a green coat buying a latte. An hour later, I was in the next town over for a meeting, and I saw the EXACT same lady, same hat, same coat, ordering the same drink. I know it was her because she had a distinct walk and a big bag. I even double-checked the time and distance, and it's impossible to get there that fast without flying. I tried to say hello, but she acted like she didn't see me. Now I can't stop thinking about it. Is the matrix just lazy with NPC designs or what?

Yeah, the exact same drink detail is what gets me. Did you notice if she paid with cash or card? If it was a card, that's a solid piece of proof it was the same person, or at least someone using her stuff. Twins usually have their own wallets, you know?

Last month, a podcast episode covered similar cases of people seeing doubles. They mentioned a study where stress makes our brains latch onto repeating details, like a unique hat or walk. The host told a story about twin sisters in Vermont who were mistaken for one person moving impossibly fast. Do you ever get deja vu around stuff like this?
