Would Your Clone Annoy You?

Do you get annoyed by peoples actions that you yourself do? I do. Minor things, mostly. Seeing people drink straight from the milk bottle really tans my hide, but when the coast is clear, I slurp away. I get steamed when somebody denies me to merge ahead of them in traffic by closing the gap, but I do it on a regular basis (in my defense, I justify this by believing that those that I deny have probably denied me in the past). I get my dander up when I see someone kick a tiny puppy, but I…no, just kidding about that one :slight_smile: Anyway, fess up and let’s hear some of yours.

No. Most likely, I’d be so enamored of him that we’d become a gay couple.

I’d probably avoid my clone at all costs, unless I wanted someone to go bowling with or play ping pong with. Or toss around a baseball. But yeah, other than that…

We’d probably form an evil alliance.

Can I get an “Ewwww” here?

I might jerk him off but that’s really as far as the relationship would go. We probably wouldn’t cuddle afterwards.

Someone here can provide better detail than I can, or a link, but there’s a commercial out there (for AARP, I think) that discusses the possibilities in a variety of situations if one were able to clone one’s self – very amusing commercial.

I specifically recall the ending, but I won’t spoil it in case someone find a link:

It ends with the main character in the commercial waking up next to his wife, who smiles at him, and then screams when one of his clones walks in the bedroom to bring them breakfast in bed

No way! We could make music recordings in half the time. I’d play drums, he’d play bass. Then I’d play guitar and he’d play keyboards. We’d sing in unison and be as tuned as Brian Wilson, because we’d breathe in the same places, and do vibrato in the same places at the same rate. I could totally get into that.

There can be only one. If I ever met my clone we’d immediately fight to the death. Nothing personal of course, but he has to die.

Wouldn’t be anything gay about it. You’d both just be masturbating! :wink:

We’d fight over my boyfriend (though he’d probably like that), we’d steal each others clothes, we’d both want to be the centre of attention…oh God, there’d be bloodshed within the first 15 minutes.

If he’s a regular clone, it’d be kinda meh.

A clone 1/6th my size would fucking rock.

You can bet your ass I would be annoyed by my clone. I’m often annoyed by me, now. I’m not nearly as good as I’d loike to be…but then again, I’m probably better than I think I am.

At the moment, I would welcome the help, but once we got packed, moved, & unpacked, I’d probably throttle the bitch.

And, yes. To answer your basic question, my bad points are incredibly irritating in other people, but I am not as noticing of my good points when they’re displayed elsewhere.

I was just talking about this with my roommate the other day. She tends to forget her keys and have to be let in by me, so I said that if she had her clone for a roommate instead of me, they’d end up sleeping outside because they’d both get locked out.

I’m sure my clone would annoy me.

Yes, I don’t suffer fools well at all.

I’d be upset that my clone was lazy and procrastinated so much. I’d have to yell at her to get off her lazy butt and get something done.

A friend shaved his beard off for the first time in years, but he thought it made him look fugly so he was going to grow it back right away. I said “but your identical twin brother never had a beard…” They always hated each other.

Ewwww. The mental image is…horrifying. Scumpup, I’m sending you my therapy bills. :mad: :wink:

Anyway, yeah, I don’t think I could stand to be around myself for more than a few hours…I’ve got some pretty annoying habits.

Clone,clone of my own
With a “Y” chromosome changed to “X”
And when we’re alone
Since her mind is my own
We’ll be thinking of nothing but sex.

I have no idea whenI first heard this.
