I was once in Italy and met a man from Jersey who worked for a particular bank, and I new that a girl from my village worked in Jersey for that particular bank. He said to me "D'you know a girl from Wales called Ruth? I said" Oh, you mean Ruth xxxx. Yes I know her and her mother, her father, her brother and her two uncles. He was gobsmacked.

Was in Italy at a certain car makers, I'd hit the beer and Limoncello quite hard the night before so I was having a 1st world problem of a crushing hangover with a Zonda R being revved up next to me

Anyhooooooo this chap comes over and starts speaking italian to me, I excuse my lack of understanding and he then turns into the most essex bloke ever, I think I'm still hammered. Turns out hes from where I was born and his sister lives round the corner from where I am now

I met a girl in Ibiza many years ago who very shortly afterwards served me in my local Tesco. Awkward!

I'd have smashed her back door in for doing that.

Most awkward moment..

 

Was hanging around with a roommate for about two years 2000-2002 (going to uni, getting drunk etc.) over here in Holland. After uni never saw him again. 

7 years later I'm in a supermarket in Airly Beach, Australia half way around the world and this guy is standing behind me in line...

 

Had the same feeling as the OP. How small is this world really...? Got drunk that night off course lol

Mine...

 

I saw somebody who I went to primary school with, in Tel aviv airport some years ago.

 

Not me, but two dating colleagues of mine, saw another two dating colleagues of mine at the top of the CN tower!  Neither party even knew they were going to the US.

I saw a colleague of mine on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice with a woman who wasn't his wife.  Got held up by the crowd and by the time I actually got up on to the bridge he was legging it away back towards St Marks Square as fast as he could with said woman trying to keep up.

I also saw another colleague on the beach in Abersoch with a woman who wasn't his wife.  I said to him, "Saw you on the beach in Abersoch Saturday afternoon." I wasn't there," he said.  "Oh yes you were, you didn't actuallly see me because you were totally mesmerised by the seventeen year old topless blonde I was sitting with and her topless mother, you couldn't, keep your eyes off either."

When OgilvyOne advertising agency moved to Canary Wharf I would spend ages walking round the new offices. And sometimes a girl would always smile and sometimes say hi whenever we passed. Always eye contact, always a little greeting. This went on for about a week while I waited for the agency bar to get going and the first party night...figured it would be the place to corner her...or for her to corner me.

One morning after another of these encounters, eye contact , smiles etc a brick wall walked into me. I remembered who she was.

I had slept with her four or five months previous.

A long long time ago, when I was a kid, my parents had a thing for camping holidays in Europe. So in something like a relatively new Austin Allegro or Maxi we made it to a remote campsite in south west France for ten days or so during the school summer holidays. At some point during the first day my brother (who unlike me went to the local grammar school) comes in as white as a sheet...
...his housemaster was only a couple of tents away!

I’ve also been on holiday (Greek island, end of season, nice & quiet) years ago, sat on a bench taking in a sunset over the sea with my other half, when my opposite number from another branch walks past with his wife, we’d had a few heated run ins over stock, valuations etc. No one else around & they have to walk right past us, not a word was uttered, not even an acknowledgement, of all the people.
