I've done that I had a chance encounter that I really wanted to happen, that while it was POSSIBLE, I knew it would seem a bit to convenient to be chance. So the main character in the scene says something like "This kind of thing doesn't happen in real life" BUT I use that in the story to make them suspicious of the event. So I guess that make its better, right?
