Are you constantly mistaken for someone else?
You look like someone famous...or someone they know?...
or worse... you look like someone that works here... I get this at Home Depot all the time.

I have to stop wearing that red vest.

what? i thought you were george clooney

When I was younger with a ponytail it was Steven Seagal....

I always knew you were hot stuff, Blondie

and you are Catherine Zeta Jones to me

People always mistake me for someone who gives a chit.

I'll have to dig one up...

that would be very interesting to see

That's it! Home Dopot

Are you kidding nobody even looks at you anymore. I'd like to say people mistake me for someone who gives a chit, but that wouldn't be completely true. This is typical ‍‍

I never get mistaken for anybody :-(
Even myself.
I was in Lowes in another state when I heard my name
called out from 200 yards away.

I turned around and someone came running towards me.
They said, 'I recognized your legs!'

Now, I was wearing shorts (desert) and I happen to be
built just like my father, this gal recognized my
father's legs on me! hahaha

Still cracks me up :-)

(For the record, on me they look shapely but on my dad
they looked ridiculous hahahaha but, alas, the same.)

Mistaken?
I don't even get noticed.
I am invisible to nearly everyone unless they want my money.
Then its "Have a Nice Day"

Yep! What Tom4 said. "Have a Nice Day"

Nah . I hardly get mistaken for anyone but people always comment how strong the resemblance is between me and one of my aunts. I actually look way more like her than I do my own mom

Not constantly.

When I was younger, I had a few waitresses ask if they knew me.
I thought/hoped they were hitting on me.

In my thirties I had a few women in their 40's and 50's come up to me in restaurants or on the street saying I looked familiar and if I knew so and so. Some I hoped were hitting on me.

One of my grandmothers thought I was a neighbor kid that helped her move, back in 1937. She had dementia or there might be something to this reincarnation thing.

Since coming to Ohio several black men and 2 black women have called me Superman, with one guy saying "you's a clark kent looking motherfker, ya know that?"

A couple days ago a 50 year old white guy at the grocery store was standing behind me staring, when I stared back he yelled Steve Carrell or Steve Colbert (can't remember which one) "that's it, that's who you look like!"
He was in one of those greenish yellow security vests, he was a city worker getting off work, and he was kinda drunk.

My sister has said I look like this baby faced Mexican-American actor from some cop show, as well as Ben Affleck.

My grandfather used to say I look like this guy he served with in the war, that I was almost named after.
Sergeant John Jacob. John Jacob Jingleheimmerschmidt. But he changed his last name for patriotic reasons and being unable to leave his house without a lot of shouting.
But I don't think I really resembled him, due to an unfinished game of "got yer nose!" in 1979, and he has since passed away. I think my aunt has it in some personal effects of his but she won't give it back because she's nosy and kind of a btch.



I've never been mistaken for an employee at a store, but sometimes at the grocery store I will head down an aisle and little old ladies will ask me to reach something off the top shelf.
I have noticed they've stopped saying I resemble a "nice young man" and have started saying I'm just a "nice man."
Stupid grocery stores. I keep aging, but the short old ladies stay the same age.

Oh, and one time in Phoenix I was pulling out of my driveway, waiting for an opening in traffic (I was looking north), and this 60-70 year old hispanic lady got off the bus 20 feet down the street, walked up, and just climbed in my car and sat there not saying a word until I said "quieres ayuda?...sigh...donde voy? Uh, um...donde quieres ir?" and then she'd just point in a direction, so I took her home.
She flashed me the edge of her slip and the top of her knee highs, but I resisted temptation since I was seeing someone at the time.
I don't know who she mistook me for.

mo, I wanted to say "me too" but most of the time I give a chit.

Rosie, in a few of your pictures you look like you could be a twin of Mary Tyler Moore.

Maybe I am lol. That was sweet of you, PW.

Jamie Lee Curtis...

Especially in High School and right after Freaky Friday (w Jamie Lee) came out.. I had auburn hair and cut super short like hers.. The kid's elementary school class kept staring at me and whispering. Couldnt figure out why. A little girl walked up to me and asked if I was in Freaky Friday..

Then I understood. *laughing*

jamie was ALWAYS a hottie.
