For me, I joined this group on Facebook for the anime convention I went to (Anime North) and then some girl posted about Haikyuu and it was like a circlejerk of comments there. Then, the other girl said we should make a chat group and so we did. Turns out everyone in the group was a fujoshi which made it extra fun. I met up with them later on in other conventions in Toronto and we all have the same interests which is pretty cool. The only downside is that half of them are my kouhai so I can't really talk to them about university.

What about you guys? Discuss and share stories.

Lol yeah, I did that once too :P Had a Rilakkuma button on my bag and this girl asked if I was into Anime.

And another time, when I was reading ANN news about the Psycho Pass movie, the boy beside me was into it too and we fanboy/girled over the show.

I used to go to McDonald's a lot on the weekend with my buddies for breakfast. I started recognizing one of the employees there (well a lot of them, but one guy particularly always took our order). I never gave him a name or anything, but I once saw he was at one of our favourite bubble tea places with his friends. I quietly payed for his entire table by paying the waitress at the front, and left a note saying "Thanks for everything. Your McDonalds bros."
I wanted it to be completely anonymous, but somehow, he guessed it was me, and surprised me with a larger smoothie than I ordered complimentary, and we became bros! He is now a manager there. We still recognize each other and talk every now and then.

First thing I ever said to my current best friend was "you disturb me".
We honestly couldn't be any more opposite people, now we're like this.

Not really a weird story, but a cool anecdote. He's also on this site by the way.

...are you sure she didn't steal it with the intention of creating an interaction between the two of you?

Most of my real friendships started out as Rivalries minus one. And by Rivalries, I mean I went Yandere/Yangire on them, like how dare they try and still my friend...then things work out, anyways,

That one was when I was young, I lived in poor area, this kid next to us left his toys out near the road and in his yard. I went and picked them up, put them on his porch. Then his mother noticed me I guess, few days later I'm asked to go there. Oh was that friendship fun, we broke so many things.

A former "friend" instigated conflict between me and this guy everyday until we started to hate each others guts. Then one day when my "Friend" wasn't around to instigate I randomly brought up Bleach and we started talking and figured out the only reason we didn't like each other was because of my "friend" and we both loved Bleach. We've been best friends ever since.

I was pretending to be a girl on one of those random chat sites. Ran into some guy and we were talking to eachother but at some point the convo turned more serious so i told them im not really a girl. Turns out it was actually a girl pretending to be a guy to hide from the pervs.

One time at school a girl shouted out to me saying "hii" and squealed almost and she came up to me and said I looked like another friend of hers and that I also look like some band member but she couldnt remember his name ad she told me her name and threatened she would kill me if I forgot.

You did say you were complete opposites and your first words were "you disturb me".


I don't have any really weird meetings as such. I first bonded with a friend when we realised we had both attended the same awful highschool but in different years. We shared similar scars :D

An old friend and I met in middle school and he had the same name and last name as me. The only difference is one letter in his first name.

His Dad also had the same name and last name as my dad. It was a given we were going to be friends, especially since we liked to crack up to our own stupid humor and when the teachers got us confused.

My current best friend and I met in 4th grade. Sat by eat other in art class. She drew a dick and pushed it over to me. We laughed and have been friends ever sense.

An old friend of mine I also met through poorly drawn dicks. It was some home-ec class. I was just doodling shit. She said it looked like crap and took my paper. She drew some awesome little doodle. So I took the paper back and drew a dick on it in rebuttal. We were friends for 3 years or so after that.

I was pretty bad high schooler with a big hair and "rockish" look,
teachers disliked this and many schoolmates joked around this too.
Once I had a fight with one guy from younger class but later when
I started a band, ironically, he became our drummer and friend.
Quite funny because shortly he looked very much like us too.

Hmmm it's not exactly "eventful", probably quite dull but the oddest I can think of would have been when I was about 13 or 14, on holiday in an arcade. For whatever reason there was this trend of running up randomly grabbing someones backside (painfully) when they were trying to use those plush toy cranes and running off (really stupid and wrong, but that was the gag).

Some girl decided to do it to me but managed to thrust me face first into the glass, setting the alarm off and giving me a bloody nose. We were both promptly kicked out. Outside she swore she slipped and we ended up chatting, hitting it off and becoming good, if longish distance, friends.

When I was like 12 a relative of mine died and the same happened to someone in my class. When the new year started the teachers made us sit next to each other since we were in the same situation and we became friends and still are to this day.

kind of morbid now I think about it. A friendship built on death.

Two years ago, I was playing a game of LoL. My Champion was Ryze, and our team's ADC was a Tristana. This was back when they were crazy hypercarries. We carried the shit out of our team and won the game. Afterwards, we had a nice talk about life. He gave me some great advice. I quite League 2 years later. Maybe 2 years too late.

This one girl had a few uni workshops with me trying to learn how to use this referencing software for an assignment and we made small talk

She ended up randomly coming and sitting down next to me in a lecture a couple of weeks later and the first thing she said was 'Nice boots' and I thought she had said something completely different so I said 'Excuse me?' and she responded 'BOOTS, not BOOBS' and from that moment on we became great friends :)

In the 5th grade, I got into a fist fight with a classmate that I barely knew. My teacher sent us both to the principal's office for consequence. The principal left us in her waiting lobby for 2 hours (probably out of spite). During the fight, I had thrown a desk across the room. He made a crack about it while we waited in the lobby and we broke out laughing. We ended up apologizing to the principal and my teacher and were best friends for the next 4 years until I moved to a new state. I tried tracking him down on Facebook, but so far no luck.
