An unfortunate case of mistaken identity

I once walked into a record shop many moons ago and saw my friend squatting down looking at the bottom shelf of 7" singles ,i walked over to him and for a joke decided to push him over with my foot ,he rolled over onto his side then onto his back and looked up at me in disbelief ,only it wasnt my friend at all.Any one else had similar experiences?

Friend or not, why would you do that? Thats not much of a joke...

Years ago, my then-girlfriend and I were at something that had a free buffet. I arrived late to it, walked over and kissed her on the back of the head. It was then that she turned around and I saw that it wasn't her at all. Whoever it was had a look of shock on her face and the only thing I could think of blurting out was, "You're not her!" before quickly rushing into the crowd.

Was at work one day when I thought I saw Who I thought was my best friend bend over the mineral fridge. Went over and smacked her as hard as I could across the arse and sent her flying into the fridge, hopped her head off the shelf and knocked some bottles. Turns out it wasn't my friend.

I was young and foolish not a stand up comedian

Was waiting for my girlfriend that I hadn't seen for ages at a train station.
She ran off the train towards me and started snogging this old guy next to me. I was horrified and so was the guys wife.

Turns out the girlfriend should have went to specsavers.

I regularly will start speaking to my wife while I'm looking at a shelf in a shop, then turn to her and realise I've been asking a stranger "do we need more toothpaste"?

Years ago. Thought I saw my sister in the local shop; went up behind her and got her in a headlock whilst shouting 'Gotcha now, bitch!' ( We have a very good relationship.

)

Yeah. Wasn't her. Ran out of that place like the dickens.

I was framed for killing my wife, had to go through a bit of hassle to clear my name. Turned out to be a guy with a mechanical arm, little rascal.

Standing gazing at a vast array of prams whilst awaiting our baby, I dropped my hand to my side grasped his hand and cooed to my Husband what about that navy one there? It's a good price, will we take a closer look.....'I'll have to ask the Wife!' replied the startled man beside me. My lad had wandered off and was checking out the top of the range model that was beyond us!

I used to mix you up with EdenHazard, back in your teenage angst years.

That's about as unfortunate as it gets!

I was at a wedding with my fiance and popped to the loo. Came back and went up to a guy I thought was him at the bar, grabbed his arse and said "phwooooar!". Cue the bride's sixty-something year old uncle turning around with a look of horror, then a very big grin.

I haven't drunk tequila again since that night.

Next time that happens and you realise it just keep looking at her expectantly and say "Well, do we?!".

I have done this more than once and proceeded to put shopping in someone else's trolley.

Was playing gaa in the yard at work one day and had my back turned to the goal; plucked the ball from the clouds; turned on a two pence and rifled it towards goal only to hit the boss on the back of the head nearly knocking him out cold.
We all ran off as fast as we could.

A few years back I was in the zoo with my GF at the time and after looking at the tiger for awhile I started to move on to the next enclosure. My GF was walking ahead, I put my hand in the arse pocket and grabbed a feel she looked around and it was some strange woman :eek: :eek:

She seen the funny side though.

iCosmopolis · 10-04-2013 12:22AM

OH half went to buy a top and told me he'd meet me in Dunnes in a few mins. Snook up behind a pregnant woman of similiar height,appearance and dress and gave her a big waaasssssuuup,with open arms, in his heavy accent. She was not that amused. I nearly peed laughing when he eventually found and told me:)
A colleague spun around on his chair gave an auditor the finger recently, when he thought it was his fellow colleague/friend behind him:D

Well, I can see how that might possibly put a strain on your relationship all right

I once mixed up a complete stranger with a friend of mine. Worst thing was that I didn't even notice until she put the lotion in the basket.

aN.Droid · 10-04-2013 12:45AM

This one time I was on a bus and this guy sitting next to me was eating a bucket of fried chicken. The smell was getting to me and even though I didn't know the guy I just dug in and started stuffing the chicken into my mouth.

It was so delicious.

But.. It wasn't fried chicken.. It was a baby... It was a baby!

Just remember, I was out in a disco with an old girlfriend, it was packed and we were walking around to find friends, we were getting separated so she grabbed my hand and started making her way through the crowd, but it wasn't my hand. So this stranger knowing it was meant to be my hand looked back at me and laughed, so I motioned to continue on, he just went along with it, she made it a good distance around the dance floor before she looked around to see him and nearly had a **** attack. Of course me and him were in stitches laughing, she didn't find it as funny, hence why she is now an ex.

I left a shop before my dad when I was a kid with plans to lay down in the back seat and scare him.I got into the car and got right down behind the drivers seat.He got in and didn't say a word,I didn't think anything of it,and started to drive off so I left him drive 200-300m down the road before I popped up and scared the sh!t out of him.Turns out I had gotten into the wrong car and gave a 65 year old man a heart attack as well as my ole man who thought someone had taken me.

Once in a carpark and didn't know my registration number and came accorss a car the same as mine, same year etc and was getting ready to open the doors when this one comes running saying stop him he's trying to rob my car. We both then started shouting at each other saying its my car now F off etc. I would not let her open the doors so she called the gaurds and said fine do it its my car. Gaurds arrived and assked both of use to open the doors. It wasn't my car and I was mortified the gaurds didn't know what to do but laught, I just walked away and hoped I would never meet this women again. I couldn't even bring myself to say sorry.

In my second class in the school I'm in in now, I asked the assistant Vietnamese teacher questions thinking she was a grade 12 student for a few minutes. Only when I asked her for the HW did she say she wasn't a student.
