A double of you in this world?

[shootingstar]

I wish I could find a better facial icon for my reaction without offending.



Well, do you or your daughter know what this other young lady is like? Similar age??

[kelownagirl]

They've met a few times and are facebook friends. Angie works with her sister too. I am going to get Angie to take a picture of herself making the same expression. It's spooky. I'm trying to remember if I had another kid somewhere along the line that I forgot about. LOL...

About 30 years ago, someone told me the story of walking down the street in downtown Birmingham, walking up to someone, shaking his hand and talking to him...thinking he was me.

Then, a year ago, I came face to face with this person, who:
- looked exactly like me
- was wearing the same clothes I was wearing at that minute
- was wearing the same glasses
- had the same mannerisms with how he looked around and placed his hand in his pockets, etc.

I had the feeling that I was looking at myself on a video tape (you know, where you can't ralate to your appearance in two diminesions)...just that this guy was three dimensional.

My friend and I were "weirded" out by the experience...really really freaky.

Did I go introduce myself? No, I was afraid that if we touched, the universe would end in a cosmic explotion of matter and antimatter

Do I have a twin? I'm adopted, but don't think so. Beside, I was born 1,500 miles away from Birmingham...highly unlikely.

Mr. Silver, I think things like that DO happen and that he COULD be your twin. At any rate, if it were me I couldn't bear to live unless I found out!

Pat Richardson is my twin (Home Improvement). At least when she was on TV all the time, that's what people said to me a lot.

Strangers have told me my whole life that they know someone who looks just like me. The other day I was in Guitar Center. The salesman I was talking to about a guitar couldn't bite his tongue anymore and said, "You know, you look exactly like a friend of mine!" Seeing as I was in Guitar Center, I asked if his friend's name was John Clark, and he said YES!!!! That's my brother. He's a guitar player and has a band. I don't speak to my brother much, but I knew there could only be one connection.

My Dad looked like Jimmy Carter in the '70s.

A Brooks Bros suit coat and bicycle shorts????
Sorry -- you posted a picture of yourself in that, and it is the image I have of you now (regardless of your avatar!).

No twin that I've spotted here....but my family all say I look exactly like my mom did when she was younger. I don't see it.

The Double Life of Veronique is a great movie.

When I was in college, there was another student who apparently looked just like me. I never met her, but my brother swore up and down that I was partying hard at a frat party. I wasn't there (but he was?? He was in high school!) A few other people called my "Stephanie," which is not my name. They had a confused look on their face when they realized I wasn't her.

My SO gets comments all the time about looking like Richard Gere. I can't complain about that!

[mimitabby]

my DH has a typical WASP look about him (white anglo saxon protestant) he's been told he looks like Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Woody Allen(I know, he's not a wasp), Gene Wilder... in my opinion, he doesn't look like any of those guys but it's fascinating that so many people see someone else in his face.


and for a story. My younger son has curly red hair. In highschool he wore it in an afro. For some reason he thought his dad wanted to cut it right before sophomore year started, so he went to school the first day with an afro. that night, at his request, I cut it and dyed it black. That week he met a girl who told him she'd seen a guy that looked IDENTICAL to him, only with a red afro.

When I googled my name once I found another Susan Jones who'd written educational materials on spelling, jes' like me only she wasn't. In the book warehouse I saw a cool book of comprehension questions to go with kids' mystery books - another thing I've done - and the auther was Sue Jones Married-name. Coincidences abound I kinda wanted to find that couple to see who I'd married when I wasn't looking...

people tell me all the time that I either look familiar, or that I look like someone they know. I think it's just that we jolly fat ladies all look alike...

IDid I go introduce myself? No

WOW THAT is very cool and very creeepy at the same time!! Did the guy look at you?? was he looking just as stunned??

Do you regret now not going up to him?

I can imagine that would be a bit awkward, but how do you stop thinking about it when you don't????

When I lived in Florida and was bartending, I had many, many customers come up to me asking when I changed jobs. I had no idea what they were talking about as that was my first bartending gig. Turns out, there is aparently another bartender in the Tampa Bay area that looked exactly like me. I never met her but man, the comments got kind of annoying.

My husband and I went to a strip club (also in FL) together with a group of friends. We were all gathered around a couple of tables on one side of the club. He was positioned so that he faced the other side of the club and noticed a commotion starting up. Some woman (a dancer who was off duty) was throwing somewhat of a fit and her friends were trying to calm her down. I can't remember if it was her or one of her friends, but eventually someone came over an said something to my husband before they realized that he wasn't who they thought he was. The dancer truly thought he was her ex-husband! So, apparently, there is a guy in the Tampa Bay area who looks just like my husband.

Now, if that guy and the bartender who looks like me were to get together, we could really freak people out!

Oh, and I work with a guy who is a dead-ringer for Matthew Fox.

Back when I worked in dentistry, I would go temp on my days off. Every single time I went into an office, they would ask if I had been there before. When I told them no, they would swear that I had been there. Some would almost argue with me that I had been there. So, I guess my twin was also in dentistry. Wonder if she decided to go to x-ray school to so that I can get it in radiography to.

[sbctwin]

Well, after just spending a birthday weekend with my sis, I say we still look like twins...but that is to be expected, we are

[Mr. Bloom]

Look, I found my twin's picture:



What a good looking guy we are...
