Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ?

A former co-worker had the same car as mine; more than once I wondered why my key wasn't working ...
If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ?
Nah. Although I do like it when I can park next to someone with the same car, just to mess with their minds.
