Have you ever mistaken someone for someone else in more than just a passing wave or nod, or been mistaken for someone?
I think I was maybe in 9th grade, and my family was at Dairy Queen getting our ice cream on. This was back when they used to have hard serve in buckets in glass cases. We were all looking at our selections and getting ready to order - I don't know if it was the heat combined with the light, or what, but I all of the sudden started feeling really dizzy. I walked over to my dad from behind, and leaned on his shoulder to make it through without passing out... only to find out that it was not, in fact, my dad, but some nice random middle-aged man with the same stature and haircut. I remember it all of these years later because it was SUPER embarrassing to assault a rando middle-aged man in a DQ at age 14. That's how you get on the news, or in a song by The Police.
What are yours?
