Has a stranger ever confused you for someone else?

I was walking through a gun show when a man approached me and started talking as though we knew each other.

"It's good to see you again. Blah, blah, blah. By the way, how's your mother doing these days?"

"My mom is fine, thanks for asking." (Now I'm racking my brain trying to remember who this guy is).

"Great. What do you say that we head over to thew snack bar and get a bite to eat? I'm buying."

Okay, as much as I'd enjoy getting free meal, it is now clear that I don't know this man.

"I think you have me mistaken with someone else."

"Aren't you Frank Smith?"

"No, I'm not."

"My apologies." He walked away, and my free lunch went with him.

Could have waited it out for the meal lmao

When I was graduate school for nursing, I was on a rotation and my supervisor said to me that she didn't appreciate that I was trying to contact sites for rotations when my school should do that. She thought i was circumventing the school. I explained to the supervisor that she confused me for my classmate who was the same age, looked a lot like me and was in fact trying to arrange rotations nearby his house because he just married a woman with kids. I told the supervisor to go back and check the emails for my name (which she wouldn't find) and for my classmates name (which she would find). Stupid shit like this can just ruin a person when some supervisor doesn't tell you he or she is pissed off about something.

Once a woman saw me at school, she came up to me and greeted me. She asked how my sisters were doing and since I have sisters I responded her. Then she mentioned a boy and asked me how he was doing. When she said that I had to tell her that I wasn't the person that she was thinking of but she didn't let me talk. After a couple of tries she finally allowed me speak, she got embarrassed and apologized.

[bigpauly]

Lmao people who don’t let me get a word in drive me nuts

[menina]

I know right? But she was so nice, I felt sorry for her.

[Msputiton]

Only on here.

Apparently there is someone who used to be on here that ran track for her college.

And like 4 people thought i was her.

I kinda think it was the whole she is black, and an athlete so they must be the same person.😂

[bigpauly]

Yea there’s only so many black athletes

In school, a teacher came in and dragged me out to get to the principal's office because, and I quote “You are the the textbook definition of hell reincarnated.” withholding my ear with his nails my ear started to bleed which hurt badly. I come and the principal is like “Oh my gosh... What happened?” I said to her that teacher dragged me out of class and did this *pointing to my bleeding right ear* and said that I am hell reincarnated so think I did something bad even though I just came back from vacation and did nothing else. So she was like... “Greg! You took the wrong kid and why the hell did you make his ear bleed?” he was scared that he messed up and I just went to the nurse to take care of it. Fifteen minutes pass and I go back to the classroom and everyone stops even the teacher to hear what I had to say about what happened.

[dustybiker]

Curious. Repercussions on the teachers part?

[jennifer_bloom]

A girl at the career centre at my school asked me if I had ever been a student at her previous college cause I looked like one of her old classmates and another girl kept saying she knew me from a previous class she took even though I had never been in either of those classes.

[dustybiker]

No. But I’ve had people confuse my truck as theirs. That was fun.

[bigpauly]

That’s just the excuse they gave

[dustybiker]

Mine did have a higher polish to it. (He was so embarrassed when I loudly said “Saw that!” lmao)

[bigpauly]

Once, at a theme park. A guy approached me thinking I was one of his friends, got close enough to see that I wasn't him, but insisted I could have been his twin. I really wanted to meet the guy to see for myself.

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 yea and I don’t even look close to whoever they mistook me for 😑.

[bigpauly]

Lmao people are wild sometimes

[Pinay_ako]

Yea they just guess. 🤣 you don’t look like a Gina, you’re more like a Diana. Tf 😂

[bigpauly]

[Chazmatazz269]

Yeah, but i definitely have one of those faces. Ell oh ell!
Actually, the best ones were kids. I know it’s not the same, but they were much more adorable than their plainly dumb adult counterparts. Ell oh ell!

[Phoenix98]

It’s happened way to many times to be coincidence.

I’ve been confused for someone’s boyfriend one to many times lol.

[exitseven]
