This happens to me all the time. Of course, this is a good opportunity to bring up the strangest psychic phenomenon of all (to me anyway) and also the most annoying. I call it convergence. Do you ever notice that when you are walking or riding a bike etc, you can see a car coming in one direction, a guy walking his dog ahead of you, a car in the other direction, and a jogger…convergence is the unlikely thing that seems to happen all the time…all of the people pass the same point at the same time. The cars go by, the people pass, the bike goes by…and it all lines up. This is convergence. I ride my bike a lot and it happens constantly. It makes me insane.
The other thing that happens is that when I come up behind someone walking (and I am on a bike), if I think about going around their right side, they invariably start swerving to the right, same goes if I think to the left. Lately I have started focusing on the right until the last minute and then going left. The people make a nice lane for me without me having to say a word. I’m not making this stuff up. Try it.

Telephone telepathy — I was just thinking about you – Yahoo! News
NORWICH (Reuters) – Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them — now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.
Rupert Sheldrake, whose research is funded by the respected Trinity College, Cambridge, said on Tuesday he had conducted experiments that proved that such precognition existed for telephone calls and even e-mails.
Each person in the trials was asked to give researchers names and phone numbers of four relatives or friends. These were then called at random and told to ring the subject who had to identify the caller before answering the phone.
“The hit rate was 45 percent, well above the 25 percent you would have expected,” he told the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. “The odds against this being a chance effect are 1,000 billion to one.”
He said he found the same result with people being asked to name one of four people sending them an e-mail before it had landed.
However, his sample was small on both trials — just 63 people for the controlled telephone experiment and 50 for the email — and only four subjects were actually filmed in the phone study and five in the email, prompting some scepticism.
Undeterred, Sheldrake — who believes in the interconnectedness of all minds within a social grouping — said that he was extending his experiments to see if the phenomenon also worked for mobile phone text messages.
