Today, after seven people at work approaching me and asking me if I was 'that lad from the paper', I picked one up to see what they were talking about. Turns out my doppelganger is a man who brutally murdered his older brother last year. FML

Today, I walked over to join a group of friends and heard them talking about how hot some guy was but how ugly his sister was. I asked who they were talking about and there was an awkward silence, they hadn't realized I was there. Apparently, they were talking about my brother. FML

Today, on my way to work, I was checking my hair in the semi-reflective window of an office building. I suddenly realized that the guy I had a one-night stand with last week was standing on the other side, looking confused. He now genuinely believes that I am stalking him. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me I have a doppelganger on campus who looks just like me, but way cuter. She got his phone number. FML

Today, the police were canvassing my neighbourhood about a recent robbery. When I answered the door, my brother saw badges, panicked, and jumped out our apartment's third-storey window in an attempt to escape. He thought they were after him for using a bong two weeks ago. I'm related to this twit. FML

What's in a name?

By Oof - 27/02/2024 15:00 - United States

Today, I introduced my coworker to my friend's boyfriend. When I mentioned his name, she started crying. Apparently he has the same first name as her twin brother, who died shortly after birth, so that name has become a bit of a sore spot for her. I didn't even know she had a twin. FML

Today, I was mistaken for my twin brother twice. This probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a girl. FML

Today, I found out that my sister has been telling people I’ve been dead for the last 3 months, to cover up the fact she used me to commit identity fraud. We’re identical twins. FML

Today, when I turned on the TV, there was a picture of a wanted murderer. The picture looked just like my boyfriend. FML

Today, both a coworker of mine and my boss agreed that I fit the profile of a serial killer. I don't know what's worse, the fact that they think that low of me, or the fact that this isn't the first time someone's said I remind them of a serial killer. FML

Today, I was working at a local restaurant when another server's table called me over to ask if I've "ever killed anybody". They informed me I looked like a serial killer. I informed them, of course, that I have never killed anybody. Another customer claimed I scared her child. I was fired. FML

I always walk up to possible murderers and ask them about their newspaper appearance.

Look at them through narrowed eyes and say, "Want to find out?"

To people saying you should pretend it was you, the problem is if you get vigilantes who could decide to take matters into their own hands and hurt OP

You have to be careful OP, being identical to a an offender would get you in trouble.

Oh my gosh! I had something similar happen!! My name has a female version and a male version spelling, but they sound the same. To preface, I'm from a small relatively rural area. My aunt had the local news on but was in another room. She heard about some heinous crime, and heard *my* name. But missed the fact that this guy was a ...guy... and of a different ethnicity. So she flipped out and called my grandma. My grandma had missed the news, so SHE flipped out and called my dad. He called me. I had to Google around to figure out what on earth the kerfuffle was about, and to prove my innocence to my aunt and everyone else. LAWWWD!! No, I wasn't involved in some gang related shooting. BUT THANKS!

Wow I would have a little fun with that: 'Hey! That was a justified killing! The guy cut me off then took my parking spot at Walmart!' 'Hey! That bastard refused to serve me breakfast at McDonald's at 11:02!
