Ok it’s early on a Friday. We have all night. Let’s hear ‘em. Your story.

I’ll go first.

To the best of my memory, I have never had the experience.

I've never seen the ones I've been told of.

Multiple times folks have asked me "were you in so and so town in '86? " Or "Do you have a twin living in so and so town?

I pity the poor sumbishes that look like me.

I had a guy come up to be outside of a Restaurant in Eagle Pass Texas in 1980. Started a conversation with me like we were best friends. 15 minutes later while I was inside the restaurant, somebody else came up and did the same thing.

I knew a guy back in the 1990s. One day I went to his house and his father was there. Looked like the same exact guy, just a little older. Same height, same build. Same exact face, hair, everything.

In the 1980s my field work crew stopped at a rural convenience store for snacks and drinks. When I stepped up to pay for mine the middle-aged guy behind the counter looked at me like he had seen a ghost! Told me when he just glanced at me across the room when we came in as a group he thought I was his son! He fished out a photo of his son from somewhere under the counter, and both me and my coworkers were shocked. We could have passed as twins.

Now I'm the generic old fat guy with a white beard and have been told many times that someone thought I was someone else.

When I was a kid we had set up the camper at our annual vacation resort and went to town to get groceries. As we were heading back to the lake, Dad pulled up to a stop light. I looked out the window at a kid on a bike waiting to cross the road and it was like looking into a mirror. Never forget that.

Years ago I was swarmed by a small group of New York Jets fans while exiting a hotel who swore I was some player on the team. After the others left, one lone holdout kept asking if I was sure I wasn't "the guy". I can't remember the player's name. I finally showed him my DL.

Another time some guy thought I was an obscure foreign actor at Ryan's buffet. He also needed several reassurances I was not "the guy". Guess I'm not as unique as I thought grin

Tden or twelve years ago I was in a drug store in Ogdensburg NY and saw my wife's best friend's husband. When I struck up a conversation with him he just stared at me, finally said, "I think you think I'm someone else." I was stunned. I saw (the guy I thought this was) pretty regularly. The guy in the drug store was the same height, weight, haircut...looked just like the guy I thought he was. Funny thing was, it's such a small town I couldn't believe that they had never run into each other.

Apparently, I look like someone named Steve.

Back in the late 70's, my girlfriend at the time is getting on the bus in Chicago to go to work, and she see's 'me', so she sits down next to 'me' and almost gets cozy with 'me'. Steve then told her he was not me.

Fast forward to early 1981 or so, and my wife and I are walking in a local park (Denver's Wash Park), when a very attractive Asian girl comes running up to me, arms spread ready to hug me, saying 'Steve'. My wife intervened quickly and told her I was not 'Steve', and then, my wife and I had a spirited conversation about what just happened.

A few years later, a customer I just met told me I looked just like 'Steve', also in Denver.

Back when Glenn Beck was still on Fox I was mistaken for him several times. When his hair was short and still blond. His daughter was at school here then so he was around town fairly often.

I was at the private plane terminal in idaho falls waiting for some business associates to pick me up in a private jet. An employee at the airport came up and said Mr. Beck can I help you with anything. I said I'm not Glenn, he said whatever, how's your daughter doing?

Had another guy following me around Sam's club one day saying I know who you are over and over. I said excuse me and he just said Fox News with a tone of disgust and walked off. Made me think I needed to start carrying again more.

I met Glenn briefly one day at a crash up derby. He was with my friend Roy, they've been friends for years. It was too noisy to talk at all. Roy has always spoke highly of him and says Glenn has always been a great friend and very down to earth. That was about when he got pretty popular at fox for a while.

I asked Roy one day why he thought Glenn left fox. Roy said he probably shouldn't have done that last big special about the Federal Reserve.

When I drove truck for a big company,I frequently was confused for a guy
from West Memphis. Never met him.

Standing in a store in Southwest WV. Had a lady come up to me and ask,
"Aren't you Dan Hatfield's boy?"

"NO MAM, I ain't from around here."


That could have went bad quick,
once upon a time.

It would suck to be shot for being some other arsehole!

While attending college I spotted my girlfriend on the sidewalk walking my direction. Wanting to surprise her, I dropped my books, made a rush, bear hugged and picked her up.

Surprise for sure-it wasn't her! Same hair, same build and easily could pass as a twin to my girlfriend (and pretty easy on the eyes!). I was mortified!

She was a good sport about it and accepted my apologies-turns out she was dating a guy I knew from one of my classes. We became friends and she enjoyed teasing me about my dumbass stunt the day we met.
Posted By: joken2 Re: Doppelgänger - 12/14/19

Attending a family reunion of my wife's dad's family once years ago I spotted a young woman in the crowd who looked exactly like an old photo he had of his deceased mother. She died just weeks after he was born in 1924 and was her only child. He had no memory of her whatsoever. I brought it to his attention and pointed her out to him. He was amazed and went and talked with her for a little while. Turns out she was a relative through his mom's family though quite distant.

An odd institutional thing, at my work.

At my work, people "goose" each other all the time.
It just playing around, make the guy jump and everyone laughs fun.
(No, we never had sexual harassment training. We have it down!)


Anyway, a contractor was walking in one morning while we were
standing around by the door. One guy mistook him for one of
or worst "Goosers" and was in mid-goose when he realized it wasn't this guy.

But the electrician.
That was a close one.
A stranger might not quite get the humor.
I told him later,
He laughed and said,
"That would have been awkward."

Back in time a ways there was frequent inquiry as to whether I was Mark Spitz. Of late my hair is still dark, his is grey, so the chicks don't ask me that anymore.

Just prior to that I must have looked like a good target to some. Maybe it was my smile?
Posted By: Oklahomahunter Re: Doppelgänger - 12/14/19
A couple of years ago my wife and I were walking into a place looking to buy some trees. As I was walking up the sidewalk an elderly woman walked out and walked right towards us. I had to stop and stare. I’m sure it freaked her out completely. She looked exactly like my grandmother. Same clothes, same hair, same dentures, same glasses, same walk, everything. I just stood there in amazement. When I looked at my wife she was standing with her mouth open. My grandmother and I were very close and she passed away about 20 years ago. Right about a year after my wife and I began dating. Neither of us could believe it. I felt like I needed to go give her a hug or take her picture.

I haven't posted anything of consequence in a while. I feel like I have to share.

I was at The Summerhouse in Rehoboth Beach DE one night with my wife. There was music playing and people were dancing, it was packed.

Cute blonde in front of me reached back and grabbed me by the Garbage and told me over her shoulder,
"that's her!" , referring to a lady dancing in the crowd.

I then saw, the guy she was with, return to her side. Was funny as hell to see her startled expression when he walked up and she put two and two together.

My wife saw the whole thing and laughed her ass off. This was back when she had a sense of humor!

Not sure how much I looked like her dude but I'll never forget it!

Doppeldicker!

My cousin was a Navy pilot and was stationed in Japan. Except for being 20lbs bigger, and 20 years younger, he resembled Richard Petty of NASCAR fame. Distinctive moustache & nose and he wore a the big cowboy hat and dark glasses when out of uniform.

A little man scurried up to him on a Tokyo street and tugged on his sleeve. "You wace caw dwivuh?" A nod and a "Yep" made the little man's day!
