Something that happens to you that you didn't expect - but mostly good things. Being quirky isn't bad, it's just DIFFERENT. A quirk of fate is usually just a different scenario from what you were looking forward to.
Due to a QUIRK OF FATE, I found myself wine tasting with the captain of the fishing boat I was supposed to be sailing on.

The chance encounters in elevators that result from a series of seemingly random occurrances, such as a nice citizen holding the door for you, dropping your keys, or stopping to tie your shoe. Often these encounters are with either the one person you don't want to be in an elevator with or the one person you do want to be in the elevator with. It is the fate of elevator that brings you together.
S*sie: Elevator fate, like, made me become interested in someone for the first time.
V*ctoria: I'm going to use that as my example.

(n) 1) a person who uses fate as a religion and who believes that fate determines who lives, dies, loves, loses or wins.
paul stopped believing in god and other religions, so he created fate-ism and became a fate-ist because he believed that fate was the answer and because he was fated to do so.
