Having an identical twin comes with its pros and cons. If people know you have a twin, one of the pros could be pretending to be the other one whenever you want to get out of an awkward situation.

Twins are sharing some of their most awkward and awesome stories of being mistaken for their twin; from being slapped in the face to accepting compliments that weren't meant for them, they are entertaining and hilarious.

    Text - texanlifeforme 16.7k points · 1 year ago Identical twin here attending the same college as my twin brother. I was walking with my girlfriend at the time during my freshman year, and another girl approached me and said, "Ohhh so this is why you didn't want to call me back." I didn't know this girl, but it also didn't register at the time that she was referring to my twin-who I assume ghosted her. I told this girl she must be mistaken, and she says, "No I know it's you--we met in the dorms.

    Text - Mypronounsarexandand 1.7k points · 1 year ago Me and my twin are both in the same major at the same school. I'm told we stand out a bit and are quite recognizable cause people see us all over and never realize we're twins. Anyways, on one of my trips to college a couple months back I had a guy come up to me and confess how much he looked up to me about how I always sit in the front show up every day and seem smart and always do well. He was talking about my brother cause I didn't show up

I was just sitting in class and all of the sudden the teacher goes "(my brothers name), you're in the wrong class". (We had different teachers). She brings me to my brother's classroom, and takes him to hers. I was so scared I didnt say anything, and I felt like I did something wrong. After a few minutes I was so freaked out about being in an

    Text - kylegtfan 2.5k points · 1 year ago We were in middle school, was on the school bus and heard someone call my twin brothers name "J". I turn and see his girlfriend extremely upset, and she slaps me right across the face, I was just dumbfounded and didn't say a word as she walked away. I passed the message along to him later with a much harder slap. Good times!

    Text - E Logic 10.4k points · 1 year ago My twin had recently joined the Navy and was at boot camp. I on the other hand, was walking around the grocery store when a man came running up to me in a panic. He began to shout, "What in the hell are you doing here?! You're going to go to federal prison!" A bit shocked, I assumed it was just some crazy person, and started to back away but he followed. So, I said "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about." He then proceeded to say my twins name and t

    Text - Smashley21 1.1k points 1 year ago Mt twin and I went to the same uni but different campuses. One day she was at my campus for a lecture and one of my teachers spotted her. He went up to her and tried to convince her to go to his office to discuss one of the projects I was working on. She obviously freaked out and said she wasn't me. I ended up receiving an email from him saying he met my sister and accidently scared her. We also used to work for the same company but different floors and d

    Text - Rabiwimps 2.6k points · 1 year ago · edited 1 year ago S My sister worked at walmart for a few weeks before I started working there too. We had a few fun moments. The first one was my first day. She had an earlier shift and just as I was going to go in the back door she was coming out. So no one knew she was a twin and here was an identical person trying to go through the door at the same time. Without think I yelled "we are never supposed to be in the same place at the same time! " then

So my other brother was going to pick her up. In her amnesia state she was 100% convinced that the brother that picked her up was her husband, even when her actual husband came home from work. She was very upset that my brother would not kiss her or tell her he loved her lol. Ev

    Text - grennsong 138 points · 1 year ago I will always remember this day. First day of middle school, a person who I later find out my twin befriended, came up to while I was putting things in my locker. He then proceeds to rub my back in circles and says "Yo Alvin~ (my twin's name), I didn't know you changed clothes.~~~-" I was so dazed and confused but I still manage to tell him, "I'm not Alvin." He then stops rubbing my back, and is also dazed and confused with eyes wide open and says, "Oh. D

    Text - Uzukiya 137 points · 1 year ago When I was in high school I guess my twin sister had achieved a perfect or near-perfect score on one of her exams. Shortly after marking the test, her teacher (who I was actually scheduled to take the same class with, but the next semester), found me in the hallway one day and proceeded to loudly congratulate me on "my" work. I've always been more shy about correcting people on not being my sister, so in this instance I just smiled and said thank you. Flash

    Text - CrochetyNurse 56 points · 1 year ago I was grocery shopping with my husband, who was about 10 feet away down the aisle. All of a sudden behind me I hear, "Hey, [twin sister's name]!" Before I have a chance to react, there's a pair of arms around me giving me a tight bear hug and pulling me back. I screamed like I was stabbed, which caused my husband to run over. The arms finally let me go, and I turn around to see my sister's former coworker who I have seen exactly once. He saw I wasn't h
