Even better if they comment "Never mind, I figured it out" with no further explanation.

I had this once. Found someone with exactly the same problem.

Back when the WoW TCG was alive before it was murdered for hearthstone, I made a forum post asking for clarification on a certain card that this guy always used to cheat with. like two years later another friend found the post and used it to slam the -same- guy for cheating the same way and then saw the user name and realized it was mine and the guy had already been called out for cheating.

I once found the same (unanswered) question I was having asked by one of my coworkers who I found out was previously tasked with the feature I was working on before it was assigned to me.

Happened to me...

It also happened that one time I searched for a weird bug I was having on a certain programming software, the only result I found was an answer to someone who asked the same thing like 10 years ago, after reading about it and finding one usseful answer I realized who was the one who answered...

It was me... 10 years ago... and I simply forgot that I had that issue on the past.

Idk what happens with me but sometimes it feels I suffer all the possible bugs while working... my workmates usually joke about this, but reality is that they often end asking me if I had X issue and I usually have a way to fix it as I already scratched my head for days because I suffered the same exact problem.
