The Wrong Twin
While itmightbeaseizure did not exactly plan this, it still counts. When he and his twin were little, they went to a public day camp. He started, “It was very sporty, and had all the second grade ‘cool kids,’ so naturally, my twin and I were very out of the loop. I became tired of being the kid who played Pokemon, so I started acting like everyone else, which included being a straight-up jerk to the counselor.”
What happened after that? “I guess I must have really gotten to him, because after a while, he stormed into a bathroom, saw me, and literally picked me up by the collar of my shirt, threatening to kill me if I kept being so rude,” he explained. “Unfortunately, the person he picked up was not me, but my twin. Teary-eyed and confused, he told my parents, who deftly threw a fit at the camp director. People were fired, my twin was really upset, and I saw none of the repercussions for my behavior.”

Twins Traumatized Them
The Redditor who shared this story had a dad with an identical twin. “I remember being traumatized as a child (five years old), and the two of them sitting on the couch with a blanket covering their clothes. They called me and my cousin over and made us guess which one was our real dad. We didn’t know who was who, and both got our dads wrong. My uncle is a university professor, and on more than one occasion, my dad has stepped in for him and taught the class until someone caught on, then my uncle would come in laughing,” the user shared.
That was not all, however. They said, “My uncle also lives in a different city, and on one of those trips where my dad faked the class out, family friends stopped by my uncle’s house to visit him, not knowing my dad was there. My uncle was in the basement when they arrived, so they assumed my dad was him. My dad said he had to run downstairs to grab something, and switched clothes and places with my uncle. They switched places three or four times during the course of the visit until the friends caught on. After 23 years, I still have to question who is my dad and who is my uncle at family get-togethers.”
