What's your funny 'Oops!Wrong person' moment?
I was once sat on a wall at Barry Island-a Welsh seaside resort-with my parents and sister,aged about 14.A guy started walking towards me shouting 'Stephen!How are you?What are you doing here?'.As he got closer he held out his hand for a handshake.Then he realised I wasn't Stephen.Cue embarrassment for him,hysterics for my parents and weeks of being called Stephen!


 

I get people coming up to me constantly asking for my autograph, I honestly don't see the resemblance but apparently I'm a dead ringer for Lurch.

On a subway I saw a friend way at the other end. I was a teenager and I shouted out his name. Every one turned and stared at me. Worst of all it wasn't him. I was so embarrassed I got off at the next stop even though it wasn't my destination. I had to wait for another train. Lesson learned the hard way. :eek:
 
I was in a theater watching a flick. A couple appeared on the screen, and I shouted out, "Hey, that's my roommate, David!" I honestly thought it was. In a split second, I realized that not only was that person NOT David, but that person was a girl! Oops! I can't remember how I "prepped" for that flick. Ah, college days, long gone!

A well-known TV personality walked by me, as I sat eating in a food court at the mall. He turned and said, "What are YOU doing here?" I knew he thought I was someone else, as I had never met the guy, but I wanted to know why he got sacked from the TV job he had left Austin for. I said, "I'm not who you think I am, Tim, but sit down, anyway. I want your recent life story!" He sat down, and we talked for a good half hour. Nice experience, actually.

I can just imagine what condition you were in at that movie! :playful:
 
Was at a High School reunion when I saw a gal I hadn't seen in many years. Back in the day we where very friendly towards each other, but we didn't date or anything like that.
Anyway, she's at the other end of a long table, sees me, comes over and gives me a big hug.
While I'm getting the hug, she says, "Steven." Steven?? :confused:

I pull back from her and say, "I'm not Steven."
Her eyes kind of glazed over and starting going back and forth. I could tell she didn't have a clue who I was.
"I'm Dave ........"
"Oh," she said. "You haven't changed a bit."
