NO! IT WASN'T RANDOM! It's as common as birds and bees! It happens all the time!

Not everything in this world is random - a meteorite striking a city, that's random - everyday quirks, follies, and foibles? NOT RANDOM.

You took the words right out of my mouth

I cannot stand the word random…I still can’t figure out how it became such a common term

The worst part is how often it is used inappropriately…One time I was at some bar with some girl and she had lost her ID and debit card, she found it later under the table where she had been sitting earlier. Turns to me and says “wow that was random” being majorly frustrated I turn to her and said “No! It’s not random, if anything it’s likely you moron” that was the end of that interaction
