I am well-known in my family for finding and bringing home lost kittens, but last summer takes the cake:
I was walking to my mail box with Poosh, an outdoor cat who likes to acompany me in walks around town. As we did, my sensitive ears picked up a crying kitten. I found a black kitten under a truck in a driveway. It was and old enough to be weaned, so I think the mother had abandoned it. It wouldn't come near me, but it thought Poosh was safe. So we all went home, Poosh following me, and the kitten following Poosh. I looked after her for two weeks before I found her a forever home.
A few days later I was coming home from a late night lock-in, when my hearing picked up a kitten crying nearby. So I grabbed a flashlight, and around 1:00 in the morning I went hunting for kittens in a neighbor's garden. I found a little tabby baby perhaps two weeks old in a tiny oak tree. The next day another neighbor told me that one of her outdoor cat's kittens had disappeared. The mother and two kittens were all gray tabbies, so I brought the baby down. The mother recognized it immediatly and began giving it a bath, so all was well.
The very next day I was at my mother's, playing on the computer, and my magic ears went off again. I went outside and followed the cries until I came to a hole in the house underneath the porch. I could just see it, but my arm wasn't long enough. So I had my brother (who has much longer arms then I do) pull him out. A white kitten barely a week old, just starting to open his eyes. Sometimes mothers will abandon kittens that cry too loudly, because they endanger the rest of the nest, and this one was LOUD! My mother feed him with an eye-dropper until he was big enough, and then found him a forever-home.
Kitten hunting can be an exhausting business.

This was rather lucky than funny. I was at the checkout of a CD shop and was about to pay, and then realized that I had left my wallet and card at home. I was about to tell the checkout person that I had to come back another time when my sister, who happened to be in the same shop by chance, called my name from behind. I borrowed money from her and was able to pay.
This is my sister's story (not the same sister). The company she worked for occupied the 3rd and 5th floor of the same building, but not the 4th for some reason. She got on the elevator on the 5th floor to go down to the 3rd, but she kept pressing the button "5" by mistake. There were other people on the elevator waiting for it to go down. After trying a while she said, "OMG, this elevator is broken!" Then someone else pointed out that she was pressing the wrong button. It was very embarrssing.
Also my sister's story. She was in a supermarket or something. She was at the checkout and she realized she couldn't find her wallet. So she left the shopping basket at the checkout and went home to find the wallet, but she couldn't. When she went back to the supermarket, the checkout person had found her wallet at the bottom of the shopping basket. Very embarrassing.
Another one from the same sister. She went into a public toilet. When she opened the door of a cubicle, some other woman was there in the middle of doing her business and right at that moment that woman farted loudly and they had good eye contact. My sister backed out straight away. That woman didn't even seem to care.

I've found kittens in some weird places, too. When I was 10, I went door to door in an apartment complex to find the owner of a car because there was a kitten mewing under the hood. About 16 years ago I was pumping gas and heard a mewing and found a little blackie on top of the gas station roof. I was too pregnant at the time to climb up and get it down, but the fire department came and got it. One of the firemen kept it.
