Here's one but I'm not using my real name I'm using an assumed name Tony Knotek. Knotek is an unusual last name and where I come from in New England it's rare to find someone with that last name. We were traveling from Florida to New England and we had reservations in a pet friendly hotel. When I walked up to the front desk a man in front of me seemed to be taking a very long time to register. He finally wrapped up his check in process. I spoke to the clerk and told her I was Tony Knotek and wanted to check in, with that she said hold on and called the man who had been in line in front of me. The man turned around and came back. She said to me tell this man your name. I said I'm Tony Knotek, the man replied my name is Tony Knotek too. Amazing the chances of meeting someone with the same name especially since the last name is not a common one. Some of the reason the other Tony was taking so long is because he called in his reservation about 30 minutes before arriving at the hotel. I had called mine in about 3 weeks before so with 2 reservations he and the clerk were going back in forth why he had 2 reservations when in fact one was mine. Anyway when we walked out to the parking lot we introduced our wives to each other and the wives took photos of the 2 Tony Knoteks.
