Have you ever been approached by someone you've never met who swore they knew you, or had seen you someplace you've never been?

Was traveling home via public transportation last week when a guy boarded the bus and greeted me like an old friend. He asked me how I got on the bus so fast when he'd just seen me leaving McDonalds. I quickly but POLITELY told him he was mistaken, and jokingly (I wasn't really joking) remarked I hope the person he was referring to was behaving himself. This type of encounter has happened a few times; I always find it unsettling. I've heard that everyone has a "twin", but I'd hate to be the victim of a "drive-by", or something, because of something someone who looked like me did.

yes sevberal times, them I found out I had a look alike living a few miles from where I lived, everyone swore it was a twin brother to me. (( hu, try telling THAT to a judge he he ))

I must look like a lot of people because I get that a lot....did we work together?....were you a neighbor of mime?....where do I know you from?...you look like someone I went to school with...
-
Yes, many times... It happens at work a lot... They look at me and say "I know you from somewhere!" "Are you so and so's kid?" I didn't grow up in this town... I've only lived here for about 3 years... but for some reason people think they have known me from somewhere here in town!!
-
Yes. But since I've been in so many different types of work I usually figure they might be right!
-
No.. I must be unique :))

Not exactly approached, no. But I'd just crossed over the road at some traffic lights where a lady in a small red car was waving at me. I didn't recognise her at all so I looked around in case she was waving at someone else behind me (gosh, have you ever waved back then realised they were waving at someone else?). Well, no-one but me was around, so I looked confused and she was waving insistently like: yes, I'm waving at you. So I waved back and she seemed happy at that. To this day, I've no idea who she was. I must have been mistaken for one of my look-a-likes, of which I've got three called Jane, Theresa and Sue. Twice I've been mistaken for Theresa. I'm dying to meet her!

Yes on more than one occasion and it can be very embaressing.

Yes.. a few times. I guess that as long as they don't call me "Daddy" , all is fine though.
-

Mostly everyone thinks that I'm my sister. Or at least they remember my sister and not me.
