When I am packing up to leave the sauna, a strange thing happens. There are so many lockers, but the person next to me always appears at the exact same time and starts using their locker.

The same thing happens with coin lockers at the station. There are many other locker doors. But right when I try to take my things out, the person next to me shows up. (Of course, it is the exact same for them too.)

The chance of this happening must be very low, but somehow, our timing is always the same.
