Hear me out.

When I was a kid, I would notice how seemingly unrelated items may fit into each other or how things may be timed and sync up with each other.

Examples include:

- A coffee cup that a specific TV remote slides into perfectly

- A shoebox that a random book fits into like it was molded to it

-A tupperware lid that happens to fit a pot it was never sold with

-Two clocks in different rooms that tick audibly in unison for a moment

-A turn signal that briefly syncs with someone else's in traffic (this one was a major one)

-Elevator doors from two different elevators opening at the same time across a hall

I was fascinated by things that sync up and ascertained that there must be a reason for this, and realized that there must be a secret committee somewhere deciding on the standard measurements of things so that everything fits perfectly, if I could only find it! I termed this to be The Conspiracy of Measurements and began to find evidence everywhere.

Now, I am a boring adult, and such things like the conspiracy of measurements are largely forgotten in a world made painfully familiar, though I still notice when 3 cars in a turning lane all have their turn signals sync up for a few seconds and smile.

What about you?
