Barely Believable Coincidences That Really Happened

This Reporter Covered An Area With Her Name

Imagine dedicating your entire career to one shining moment of achievement. While this story isn’t quite that, it’s still undeniably entertaining. Meet Amy Parks, a reporter for an Australian news outlet, who was assigned to cover the firing of Dean Bailey, a coach in the Australian Football League. The twist? She was sent to AAMI Park, the stadium where the event took place

Now, here’s the kicker—her last name is Parks, and the venue is AAMI Park. Coincidence? Maybe. But you can bet a few eagle-eyed viewers spotted it and had a chuckle. Sure, AAMI is likely an acronym for something, but that doesn’t make it any less amusing. Can’t you just picture her colleagues pointing it out when she returned to the newsroom? It’s the kind of quirky detail that makes reporting so unpredictable and, frankly, a little fun. Who doesn’t love a good coincidence?
