They were so alike that if they hadn't been standing together I would have genuinely thought they were the same person. I've never seen anything like it. In fact they were TOO alike to have been related. it went beyond that. Even adult identical twins don't look that much alike once they reach adulthood. Turns out they aren't related. So here are two women, who look EXACTLY the same as each other and, as it turns out, live next door to each other and work together! I'm finding this hard to get my head around. There would be no point in writing this if I was going to exaggerate. These women LITERALLY looked like the same person, even when standing side by side. She/they is/are even quite distinctive and unusual-looking in the first place. This is 'Twilight Zone episode worthy'.

Does anyone else have a 'matrix glitch' story to tell (it has to be true, and not exaggerated).

Yeah right. 'Stupid' for not 'understanding' this pile of dog shit. Care to translate it for me the, since I'm so 'stupid' compared to you?

So many fucking nut-jobs on this forum. Why don't y'all just go back to your strait jackets and bashing your heads against padded walls?

One day my ex-wife and I were on a bus on our way home from the Enoch Pratt library. A woman got on near the Eastpoint Mall. And damned if she didn't look either exactly like or a whole lot like my ex-wife. In fact, as I recall, she was the one who pointed it out to me.

So, the next thing you know we are sitting in back of the bus looking at the back of this woman's head sitting in the front of the bus. We got into this actual argument about whether we should go up and introduce ourselves. I wanted to but my ex-wife did not. Adamantly as it were. The woman eventually got off the bus about a mile or do before our own stop. Which I was thinking means she lives near us.

I could never really get an explanation from my ex-wife that made any sense to me. Why did she seem so spooked seeing this woman...and why on earth wouldn't she want to point that out to her.

It's like there was this relationship between the two of them that my ex-wife preferred to keep to herself. A twin perhaps? Twins that chose to have nothing to do with each other?

I know that for the many years we lived in that area, I was always on the lookout for this "twin". And never found her. And I did this because I still recall just how startled I was when I first saw her. Doppelganger doesn't come close to describing it.

Then the part where I'm imagining that we did get up and introduce ourselves. What might that have led to?

The part that's odd to me is that you mention where you had been and which stop the woman got on at

Perhaps your ex wife isn't as out-going as you are. I wouldn't be all that thrilled if my spouse went up to some woman on the bus to tell her how much she looks like me. In fact I would be mortified...
