One of my really good friends has the same birthday. I met him on my first day of high school first day of school in a new town. The teacher asked us to fill out a short list of details about ourselves. I was almost late to class, and he didn't know anyone in class, so we ended up at the same workbench (Earth science, combined classroom/lab) and we had a very brief almost argument when I asked him what he thought he'd gain copying my birthday and he said he thought I was copying him. Class size was around 22-23. After the teacher asked what our problem was, we all got a brief statistics lesson.

Not unusual I guess, but I think the odds of us being at the same table as each other were a bit steeper.
