Weird Encounter

[Caran]

Yesterday at Lidl I spotted my daughter in the car park. Couldn't understand why she had a different car. I got to about four foot away and realised it wasn't her. She was an absolute dead ringer. Never seen anyone so alike to someone I know.
The lady must have thought I was very odd by the expression o on my face.

Oh how strange.

I do this so often that I have a dictionary of oops sorry wrong man/woman in a variety of languages

another of my family has dysprosopognosie - no not second sight - that one where you cant recognise people
so we make a right pair

I was at the theatre recently and saw a woman in one of the boxes who looked exactly like my mum. Same hair, face, demeanour. My mum died 4 years ago so it was a bit strange. I couldn’t stop looking at her.

Perhaps you have simply forgotten that you had twins.

Met a guy in Morrisons who I hadn't seen for some time. Had a short conversation with him, all the usual how are you etc. Later when I did meet the guy I knew I realised I had been chatting to a total stranger in Morrisons.

The brain plays such strange tricks on us.

It’s said we all have a doppelgänger. I met mine.
