He Was Paying Attention, Sir
The prank might not have been intentional, but it is still amusing. Redditor Thomas of Hookton explained that he and his twin joined the army together. He explained, “We were in different companies in recruit training, so that was fine. But we ended up being posted to the same unit after recruit and specialist training. One of the sergeant majors met us off the bus, and conducting roll call, assigning everyone to their respective companies. We both had the same initial (I’m Tom, he’s Tim) and last name. The SM only called one of us, assuming the double was a typo.”
The Redditor continued, “In the end, I approached him, and asked for my company assignment. He proceeded to rip my face off for not listening. He literally wouldn’t let me speak. So I shrugged, and trudged off to my brother’s assignment. It took a full four hours before some corporal realized that there were two of us. He marched us together to the SM’s office, gathering a bunch of other SNCOs along the way. He told me to walk in first. The SM saw me, and lost his lid. As soon as he started yelling at me, the corporal marched my brother into the office. I think we broke the SM that day.”

She Was Literally In A Different Place
Redditor valryuu had identical twin friends in high school. “There was this one day when one was sick or something, so her sister took her place for attendance purposes (we had some kind of free-working period). The thing is, the two of them had quite different dispositions. This one was quieter and calmer, while the one at home was louder and more sprightly,” the netizen recounted. They added, “It was only like 15 minutes into class, and the teacher said, “You’re different today. It’s like you’re in a different place.” We were all kinda snickering and laughing. We thought the teacher knew it was her twin, but it turns out he didn’t know she had one. She was definitely in a different place.”
