Val (Zebedee) Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Have you ever been mistaken for someone else? Whether famous or not? Has the other person been convinced it was you when it really wasn't? About 10 years ago, when I lived in Liverpool, a woman I knew came up to me one day & said "You had a good win on the bingo last night" She really didn't believe me when I said I didn't play bingo & I wasn't in the bingo hall the previous evening! Another time when I was still in Liverpool, another girl I knew said "You had a good time last night! You were legless (drunk for those who might wonder what I was doing!)" I said, I was at home with the kids all night - she didn't believe me either! Last Thursday, I had to go to a team brief at my old site in Warrington. I hadn't seen the cleaner, Flo for over a year since I moved to Blackburn. I walked into the canteen area where Flo was cleaning, she turned round & said "Val! How are you? I saw you last week in Knowsley (an area of Liverpool) on a horse & cart" :eek: I'm still not convinced she believed me when I said I've never been on a horse & cart in my life & haven't been to Knowsley for ages! Who is this random woman that looks like me as she is having the time of her life winning lots of money & I'm not??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katers91 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'd find that so weird!! Someone creeping about with my face on. I've never been mistaken for anyone. Closest to home I can think of is my Boyfriend being told he looks like Ryan Gosling. He was really really chuffed but he really really doesn't.

Emma Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 A couple of times now people have come to me and then stopped, saying something like "oh sorry. I thought you were someone I used to know. You really look like her". That I can handle but wasn't best pleased when my local shop assistant said "ooh you look like someone off the telly". Ooh, I'm thinking someone young and fabulous, getting all flushed.....then she said "oh yes, That girl off emmerdale". Even better, she thinks I look like patsy kensit, I don't but that's nice.......AND THEN she says "yes that vicars wife......Emily. I think it's the hair. The expression if looks could kill comes to mind, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I never been mistaken as someone else. People always seem to know who I am and when I want to greet back I have no clue who they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Years ago, when I was the executive director for the Miss Iowa Pageant, I was in Atlantic City for the Miss America Pageant. I was walking through the casino of the hotel where I was staying, dressed in my tux with my pageant credentials on my lapel. A little old lady came up to me to complain about the slot machine she was playing. I told her that I did not work for the casino. Her response was, "Oh Yes you do!" And she began yelling for a manager. One arrived and she told her side. The manager then ordered me to follow him to his office, where he told me I was fired. I told him several times that I was a guest of the hotel and not an employee, but he would not listen. All because some little old lady, gambling with her retirement, thought I was somebody I was not. Sent from HTC with Tapatalk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
