#19 - My husband and I (Americans) were at a bar in Quebec when a national alert went out about an active shooter situation. We glanced at our phones, and were like "meh, not that close to us" and proceeded to enjoy our beverages. A woman sitting next to us told us she was visiting…

I ran into my childhood piano teacher in a hotel lobby in Seattle. I hadn't seen her in 20+ years, and neither of us were anywhere close to my hometown in Indiana. My partner and I lived in Washington State and were flying out the next day for our wedding. She was leaving the next…
