Greetings from İstanbul 🇹🇷
I wonder if you have a specific phrase or expression for the situations below :

▪️If two ladies wear the same dress for a party ,
▪️If a couple who broke up meet in a cafe,
▪️ If a team member meets one of his /her colleagues (They don't like each other) in the same hotel,

This is a unpleasant situation and we say,

"Pişti oldular."

In English, is there a special verb or phrase to tell this ?

Thank you in advance 🌸

Answer

COINCIDENCE means two things happening at the same time, but it's not negative. You could add another word for negative situations:

UNFORTUNATE/UNHAPPY/UNLUCKY/AWKWARD, ETC. COINCIDENCE

Answer

The right word is  ‘awkward’.

How embarrassing!  How awkward! What a bummer!

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
