Do I Have a Double?
Sainsbury's in Warrington yesterday.
Checkout lady: Hello, how's Steve?
Me: Sorry? Steve who?
Checkout lady: Aren't you Steve's sister?
Me: No.
Checkout lady, looking a bit suspicious: Have you got a brother?
Me: I've got 2 but you don't know them.
Checkout lady, a bit sniffy: Are you sure?
Me: They both live in Blackburn. You wouldn't know them.
Checkout lady: You look like Steve and you have the same mannerisms. He's small, like you, and he's not very well.
Me: I'm sorry about that but both my brothers are tall and very healthy.
Checkout lady, obviously a bit "put out": You look just like him and I know he has a sister. I only wondered how he was.
Me: Well I'm not her, sorry, I can't help you.
I'm still not sure she was convinced. Have you ever been mistaken for someone else?
