This troper and his ex-girlfriend often had their moments that bordered on the psychic. #QUOTE#'''JWH's GF:''' Hon, what's the name of that movie star, you know, the one from a long time ago that had all that sex with guys and had a face like, uh, Doris Durango... #QUOTE#'''JWH:''' Clara Bow? #QUOTE#'''JWH's GF:''' That's it! Clara Bow! #QUOTE#Beat. #QUOTE#'''JWH:''' Who's Doris Durango?

This creepy dude and I were looking at the stars. We were silent for a while, and then he said "One of them will be wondering the same thing right now". I smiled. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

A friend and myself the other day were at the pub, and she mentioned the incident with the decapitation at the supermarket in Tenerife... and immediately we both cried out ''"THIS IS MY TREASURE!"'' and started laughing ourselves silly.

This troper has a strange amount of telepathy with her friends and family... Including having entire conversations with pronouns, sentence fragments, and much hand waving. One instance, when referring to an underwear-swimming incident: #QUOTE#'''Friend 1:''' Hey, you remember that thing the other day at her house? #QUOTE#'''This troper:''' Yeah. That was funny, especially when she said- #QUOTE#'''Friend 2:''' That joke about that cowboy! #QUOTE#'''Friend 1:''' OMG! Haha, milk... #QUOTE#'''This troper:''' Oh man, good times. #QUOTE#'''Friend 3, eavesdropping:''' ...WHAT?

That reminds me of an episode of Home Improvement...

This troper and his GF. Same dream, Different POV.

This might be an example of ''Perverted'' Minds Think Alike, but: This female troper and two former male co-workers, very good friends of mine, were talking about anime and one of them mentioned the redhead from {{Bleach}} #QUOTE#'''Me and Coworker 1:''' The one with the huge rack?

this troper and another student from his school participated in the county spelling bee. As we left the school that morning, the other student commented to the teacher that "We'll probably get, like, 15th place." When we returned to the school that afternoon, this troper's friend asked about the results of the spelling bee: #QUOTE#'''Friend:''' Did you get farther than [other guy]? #QUOTE#'''This troper:''' Yeah... #QUOTE#'''Friend:''' I knew it. He probably got, like, 15th place.

Slight change to the norm- on a first date. Are both astonished by where a few hours have just gone. I start on a fairly rambly thing involving Einstein, and we both say, simultaneously- "Time."

At one point last year, I was asked for a three-digit number by some kid in science class. I say 132. A few minutes later, he asks my sister, who has been on the other side of the room for the entire class. She says 132. The poor guy almost gave himself a heart attack.

My best friend and I met in our freshman english class. One day we had to write a short essay on "The Hobbit" and have it peer edited. We each used the *exact* same idea. Then, we switched papers, read them, and wrote something like "It was ok, but mine was better, you copycat" on the bottom. Our teacher thought we were being funny, but we swear it was a coincidence.

This troper went out shopping for a Father's Day card, and ended up picking one with a man riding a donkey on the front, with a punchline that was something like "It's Father's Day, you can feel free to just sit on your ass". A bit later in the day, his sister also came by with a gift and a card - it was a different Father's Day card that ''also'' had a picture of a donkey and involved an "ass" pun.

During a conversation, this troper's friend told her she sounded Italian that day. (For the record, she's Australian.) Later, during class, another friend who had been absent for the first conversation told her she sounded like a drunk Italian.

My brother and I have bizarre moments where we say the exact same thing at the exact same time. For example, a friend was leaving our house: #QUOTE#'''Friend 1:''' Can you guys look for my phone? (an LG Env) #QUOTE#'''Friend 2:''' What does it look like? #QUOTE#'''Me and My Brother:''' It looks like a calculator. #QUOTE#'''Everyone else:''' O_O

This Troper and her best friend often joke that they share a single mind. For example, deciding a new character's nationality was as follows: ->'''Her:''' Well, what ethnicity should Carmen (Her Character) be? ->'''Troper:''' I dunno, there are a bunch of countries. ->'''Her:''' Hmmm... ->'''Troper:''' Something about Carmen strikes me as Puerto Rican. I don't know why. ->'''Her:''' It's like we connected minds. o.o ->'''Troper:''' That's pretty scary over the internet. IRL, it wouldn't phase me that much.

This troper and her friend are like that too. It's become an inside joke, whichever one of us says something that we both say first "wins".

This Troper tends to measure decorated cakes in terms of whatever decorations are on it; for instance, asking for a piece with 'that flower' on it, or counting the shell/scalloped icing 'bumps' on the side. I didn't think anything about it until my sister's last birthday party, when I asked for "Just two bumps, please" and got stared at by my sister and mother. Dad, however, instantly knew what I meant, and said as much.

This Troper was planning to suggest a trope about the prevalence of squids in fiction, and calling it Everything's Squishier With Squids. She soon decided "Squids" was too narrow, and it should be cephalopods in general, with the title changed to reflect that. Turns out there's already a trope called [=~Everything's Squishier With Cephalopods~=]

This troper once walked into his local comic shop and remarked "It's deader than Gwen Stacy in here today." About an hour later, another regular customer came in and said "Wow, it's deader than Elektra today."

Not sure if it counts, because this is to be expected, but this troper and her twin sister. Speaking the weirdest things at the same time, we went as far as to look up what roadkill was in Japanese at the same time. We did not discuss this. "That's what I was thinking!" is a sentance exchanged on a daily basis. This troper once even said to her sister "stop speaking these things before I type them out!" while voice chatting with an online friend.

In a class on lighting for live shows, my professor once told a story about doing lighting for a concert with a diverse group of bands, in order to point out that different performers want different things out of their lighting: While rehearsing, a rap group on the bill complained that the lighting made them "look like zombies". Later a metal band got on stage to rehearse, he still had the lighting set the same way, and they loved it... because it made them "look like zombies".

This troper and a friend from art class will peer critique the same drawing separately but say almost the exact same thing, or point out the same virtues and flaws. This is weird considering we have completely different approaches to drawing and design.

This geeky troper and her ex-boyfriend (who moved out of the country but remains a close friend) are both very strange people who don't care what other people thing. The two of us were once waiting for our lunch at a restaraunt and there was an awkward silence of about a minute. At the same moment, both of us decided to break the silence by singing ''The Ballad of Serenity'', the theme for the show ''{{Firefly}}''. Even stranger, as their waitress came over with our food, she joined in! She is now a close friend.

Happens with astonishing frequency to the troper. "I was just about to say that," is almost his catchphrase.

One of my besties and I have such a ridiculous amount in common that it's almost like we can read each other's minds.

This troper and her brother often think of the same thing at the same time. That, along with astonishing physical resemblance, made people think (more than once) that we are twins, obviously ignoring our different birthdates.

It's freaky how often me and my best friend are on the same wave-length. We both say something at the same time, and everybody around is like, "WHOA." And, all I need to do is mention the Monkey Bars Incident of 2005 and she knows what I'm talking about.

A friend and I were watching a play I was in, and at one part a friend of ours says, "Did you know that the average guy has one sexual thought every seventeen seconds?" Due to pausing in the middle of it and epic failure on our part, we both somehow managed to hear "bisexual." We had to rewind the tape, since that was definitely wrong, and then spent a good few minutes laughing.

This troper and her girlfriend. ''So much''. Extremely useful, because no one can know about the fact that we're together, and we thus have a lot of subtext in every conversation we ever have in public.

This troper, although, in his case, it is All Minds Think Alike. Not even joking, if you speak a sentence to him, chances are he will be able to interrupt it with exactly (or a more elaborate version of) what you were about to say.

This troper's two best friends have what they call a "bro-link". Every so often one will begin to say something, and then the other will finish the sentence. This troper also has a "bro-link" with one of our other friends.

This troper has many times heard someone say something literally a few seconds after she thought it or visa versa. I have slight ESP though so I guess it comes naturally.

Happens a lot to this troper on this very website. After watching the latest episode of a show I'll go to its page to add a trope, to find that someone's beat me to it, complete with the same potholes, offhand comments, and even puns that I was planning on using.

This troper has a saying for anytime this happens: "Well, great minds think alike, and apparently so do idiots." You wouldn't believe how often I get to say that.

This troper had an incident that's worth mentioning here; it happened during his first term at a community college. During a 15 minute break, he and one other student he never talked with before were the only ones in the break room, sitting at separate tables. Now, sometimes, when this troper is alone, he'll talk softly to himself, but on this occassion, he said in a normal voice, for no reason at all but to be strange, "Don't you even take the bones out?" And without missing a beat, without even looking up from his book, the student at the other table answered back "If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?"

I was over my friend's house and she and her bf where playing half-life together. They thought they needed to get to a certain ledge and were having trouble. I noticed that there were a large amount of zombie bodies lying around. This is paraphrased but... Me: Can you stack the bodies and use them to get to the ledge? Her: I thought of the same thing! But no you can't Him: *Looks slightly disturbed*

Once I got my best friend into anime, she started having the same idea of a perfect romance novel... and even started having the same fantasies I had of the perfect boyfriend. It kind of scared me, but we are still going to get our other friend into true art.

I made "I'm just Saiyan" and "Jesus Christ, vampire hunter!" before DBZ Abridged. My catchphrase about my OCD which I again did not rip off is apparently also quote from somewhere and made it to the SuperOCd page.

My sister and I are both big WWE fans. As we're watching Monday Night Raw one night, one guy throws another into a statue of the WWE symbol that sits on the stage, and upon impact, the statue rotates. I immediately say "It spins! and my sister says to me, "I was thinking the same thing!"

My best friend and I are often like this. One time, I was going to buy a new guitar and told her she could come with me, then immediately added "and no, I'm not getting one with flaming skulls on it." and she says "How did you know?! Get out of my mind!"

As is true with most people, there are a lot of examples in my life. My friend and I are in tune enough that we should really stop bothering with conversations. We always end up just saying what the other was thinking anyway. My mother can also fill in my father's "whatsisname"s flawlessly, without any real hints, but that's primarily from living with him for so long. I have another fairly notable example:

In an instance so extreme that even television writers would have a hard time accepting it as realistic, my sister and I were sitting in complete silence in the basement. We had not spoken for some time and were both in our own worlds. For no particular reason ''at all'', we both burst out into ''Sweet Caroline''. At the same time. At the same part of the song. Again, for no reason at all.

This troper, when bored, will often run youtube searches based entirely on how fitting a song is in the context of the series or character. Some of them make sense, like a video I found pairing Skillet's Monster with TrinityBlood. But one of the most absurdly jarring and objectively strange moments came when I ran a search for "Still Alive MegaMind" and discovered such a video actually exists. Seriously.

This troper often has this with his brother and sister, but it's nothing compared to what happens with his best friend. Whenever we talk, we always think the same things, I know her so well. A particularly funny one was with my sister a few days ago. Over the weekend, we had a RunningGag of creepily saying "Jenga" at random moments. So we were all in the pool playing Marco Polo and at the same exact time, we responded to "Marco!" with "jengaaaaaaaa" and then we cracked up hysterically.

I was just thinking that!
