I ran across a picture on the web the other day, of someone who looked A LOT like me. It was uncanny. I showed the pic to my daughter and she thought it was an amazing resemblance. Ever seen anyone who looked like you?

    No, but..my coworker said that while he was on some "recreational" sites, he found this chick who looks just like me. So he stopped what he was doing and took a picture of the screen on his phone. The only resemblance is hair color but he genuinely thinks she looks like me. I am a little creeped out.

    No, but a former coworker scared the crap out of some chick in a German airport because he came up behind her and grabbed her in a bear hug while hollering "what the hell are you doing HERE" (he was positive it was me).

    He called me while he was still there (after apologizing profusely) and said he really wanted to take her picture to send me, but was afraid by then that she'd call security and have him arrested....

    Unfortunately, people think I look like this guy. Personally I don't see the resemblance and I CANNOT stand the song.

    Yes, I have seen him, saw him on TV on day.
    BET's Uncut

    When I saw it, I was like "OH CRAP THAT IS ME." and then go sad, cause I was also thinking how ugly and untanlented this man was. I was ashamed, but thought, maybe just maybe it is all in my head.
    That is until later that same night, hanging out with some friends at South Beach, one of them goes "Yo Krymez (was what they called me so shhhhhh), I saw you on tv."
    I knew what he meant but I acted dumb, and he had to take us (the group) to his house just to play the video.
    I have not had my afro and I grow a beard instead of keeping a goatee now.

    So enjoy this video for all:

    In fiction and folklore, a doppelganger is a paranormal double of a living person. It also describes the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. Doppelgangers often are perceived as a sinister form of bi-location and are regarded by some to be harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelganger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelganger is said to be an omen of death.

    I've never run in to him, however, I was once in a movie theater as a teen and 4 older teens ran after me screaming "Chuck L***, get him" (name changed to protect the innocent, if he is, in fact, innocent) They were just about to pummel me when one of them said, "that's Brian's little brother." They than set me down, dusted me off and apologized profusely. I've never been so glad to be Brian's little brother in my life.

    About four year later, when I was in the military, my parents saw someone hitchhiking. Thinking it was me, they stopped and picked him up. He was in their car and a mile down the road before they realized it wasn't me. His name was chuck.

    A year or so later, I was in a bar and this girl throws herself at me. Swears up and down that I'm Chuck and wants to take me home. It took me the better part of 20 minutes to convince her that I was not this Chuck character.

    Years ago when I was in high school I was having a drink from the cooler and had someone call me 'Becky'. My name's not Becky.

    :laugh:

    According to some people, I resemble Lisa Loeb (90's singer) or an Australian actress (from Winners and Losers) called Melissa Bergland.

    in my early twenties when i was carousing around in the bars there was a girl everyone confused me for. i never met her. she was a stripper a few towns over. she hung out a a bar down the street from the bar i hung out at.

    i always thought it was funny that i was mistaken for a stripper, given i was 50lbs overweight. :laugh:
