A hokey example of the "AHH!!" Phenomenon comes from the movie Serendipity (I hate this movie by the way). The main character meets a woman, they are perfectly in tune, and they decide to get on opposing elevators, press a number, and see if they end up on the same floor. And they do press the same number! Except, a little boy comes and presses all the elevator numbers in the man's elevator!
Man, we were perfectly in tune, but the properties of random chance got in the way! Or was it the devil? After all, the little boy was wearing a devil costume!
At any rate, this scenario is dumb for a different reason if the little boy were an embodiment of the devil. The two of them were perfectly in tune, but the combination of the two of them brought out personal weaknesses in the main character.
Another example could be something like, you were destined to save the world, and you had a book on your computer you were destined to circulate. Then bam! Your hard drive crashes.
If you are in a situation where you are important to the universe, the universe acts as a tool. It will provide you what you need when you need it, and challenge you when you are in need of being challenged.
