Have you ever mistaken someone for actually someone else?

Yes, a number of times. One in particular was the first time I saw these two fags, Ron & Russell. I was in the midst of going through a break up with my girlfriend, Carol (she was going back with her ex) and I hadn't seen her in a few months. So, I'm on my way to a record store and these two people are standing out in front of the place and the one looked EXACTLY like Carol!! Same style of clothes, same hair, same face!! They could've been twins!! I started to fall in love with her all over again! Then, I discovered that it was a guy! He and the other guy were lovers!
About a year later, Carol broke up with her ex, again and came back to me so, I told her about having met this guy that looked exactly like her and she said that she actually knows those 2 guys!

I've also had a number of people take me for someone else! One guy saw me on a bus as he was getting on and started talking to me like we'd been great friends for some time! He started calling me, Kevin. Now, I KNOW he's got the wrong guy! I have a cousin, Kevin, but he lives 8 hours away from me! For the next few years, he'd see me on the bus and happily chat with me and call me, Kevin! Then, one day, he gets on the bus and I waved hello to him and he gave me a dirty look and refused to talk to me! I guess he finally found out I'm not Kevin!
One night, after rehearsal, my guitarist invited me to go to his place for the night just to hang out. We WERE getting to be friends when he first joined but, quickly, became a bit of an asshole. It was a nice warm night so, around midnight, I decided to go take a long walk while listening to music on my Walkman. After about 15:00, I got to a bridge that'd take me into downtown and, as soon as I set foot on it, this cop car, that'd been sitting on a side road next to the bridge, came zipping up and parked beside me and the two cops inside started asking me questions and put me in the back seat of their car! I could hear one of them on the radio outside saying, "He fits the description but he's not carrying a gun.". The last time I even TOUCHED a gun, I was about 12 years old! After a few minutes, they let me go.
One day, I decided to let my aunt, a hairdresser, give me a perm. At this point, I had a full beard and mustache. As far as I was concerned, I looked like Ringo Starr playing Frank Zappa in the movie, "200 Motels"! One night, I was waiting for a bus in town to go home and this guy walks past me and thought I was someone named, Bill Walton. I think he was a basketballer.
About 25 years after the cop incident, I'm on my way home from work at the print shop and decided to stop in at the Goodwill to buy a used laptop. This particular location had a computer repair shop in the store so, they weren't shitty computers, they were all in perfect working order. So, I bought one and went out to the bus stop about 2 blocks away to go home and help mom cook dinner (she'd just had a stroke about a year or two before and my brother had just killed himself a few months before). As I'm sitting in the bus shelter with this computer (in a shoulder bag that came with it), these two coppettes drove by, saw me sitting there and went around the block to be able to come over and talk to me. They start asking questions, who I am, where I'm going and coming from, what's that thing over my shoulder, etc.. They frisked me for guns, of course I didn't have any. They had me keep my hands on my head while we talked but, eventually, they figured I was harmless and let me put them down. Next thing I know, another cop car shows up and THEY start questioning me! Then, ANOTHER one shows up and starts questioning me, then another!! Turns out, some guy who apparently looks just like me just broke into someone's house nearby and stole a large screen t. v.!! I told them all about how I needed to get home to help mom make dinner and they promised me they'd give me a ride home because I'd already missed my bus 3 or 4 times dealing with them! Well, eventually, they all left and said they COULDN'T give me a ride! So, I had to sit there for another 20-some minutes waiting for my next bus home!! Had they left me alone, I would've been home by 5:00 or so but, thanks to them, I didn't get home `til at least 7:30!!
And, one time, I was at a Cheap Trick concert. Rick and Bun already knew me and I went towards the back stage area to meet up with them. The other act was Kansas. As I'm walking through the backstage area, the band, Kansas, comes strolling past me in the opposite direction. For the most part, they could've walked right past me and I'd never know it was them. I wasn't a fan. But, Robbie, the violinist, as far as I know, saw me walking towards them and asked me how I was doing, reached out and shook my hand, like he knew me from somewhere!
