Well, Chef Troy says I look just like him. And there is a resemblance, but I don’t really think it’s that marked.

I’ve never met a double face to face, although I do frequently get the “Oh, I saw someone who looked just like you…” A few times I’ve even had strangers start talking to me like I was someone they knew. I guess it is because I am so average looking.
My youngest sister, however, just met her double face to face last night at our other sister’s graduation. The resemblance really was striking, although my sister was a few inches taller and a few pounds lighter than the other girl. But their coloring and features were very much alike. My sister said, “Hey, she looks just like me! Gosh, I’m cute!”
My mother went to college with another woman who apparently looked like her, but they never met. She was always being mistaken for this woman, or hearing about how a friend had mistaken this other woman for her. Adding to the confusion was the fact that they both had the same first name.
Towards the beginning of last semester another student approached me in the dining hall and remarked that we seemed to have a lot of classes together. We did; in fact, I thought that I had four of my five classes with her. It wasn’t until some time later that I learned that this girl had an identical twin also at our college. It was a few more weeks before I was sure which classes I had with who.
Aww thanks. My twin actually followed me to University. Sorry, I guess we just stick together.
And I did meet her face to face - we had band together in school and did some Kansas City Youth Symphony together as well.
beat this: I have 3 classes with a set of triplets and an older sister who look exactly alike. I’ve known them 3 years and STILL can’t keep them straight. Their names don’t help either: Eileen, Arlene, Emily, and Jenny. I always say arlene when I mean eileen, even if I’m remotely close to the right sister.
I’ve been asked at least three times by some girl or another if I was “Chris from Irvin High School”. I always say “No, but if you ever see him, tell him this town isn’t big enough for two drop-dead handsome hunks…”
Other people I have been told I am a “dead ringer” for…
Croatian Basketball Star Tony Kukoc
A young Robert De Niro
Some guy in “Uptown Saturday Night” (which i wonder about, because it had an all-black cast if I recall correctly).
An obscure soft core porno star from the Spice Channel, one of those “hairy ass bobbing up and down types”.
- knowing the person who observed the resemblance, the channel was probably not descrambled at the time.
Yeah I get told all the time “Oh, I saw this girl that looks JUST like you.”
Though a couple weeks ago at this party in the city, some guy said to me “Oh my GOD, you look JUST like Sean Lennon!”
Um. I’m a chick.
I was all “Do you use that line often to pick up women? Cuz it’s NOT working on me…”
For the record, I don’t think I look anything like Sean Lennon.
In 1994, I was in Santa Cruz for a job. I was in Lucky Market, as it was known at the time. I strolled down an aisle and came face to face with myself. She was just as dumbfounded as I was, but we didn’t exchange names, because I hold to the superstition that if you see your own double, you should avoid them, lest one of you die within the year.
In Pittsburgh, I went into a store that had just opened, and thought I saw an acquaintance working there. “Hey, Jill,” I said cheerfully. She turned around and asked, in consternation, “Who is this Jill? I’ve been getting that all day!” Eventually, someone did introduce the two.
