Student Decides To Test If This Flatmate Is Really Copying All Her Looks, Fakes Shaving Her Head As A Trap, Drama Ensues

I wonder who the troubled young woman copied before OP came along.

Robert Munsch wrote a childrens book about copy cats. In the end, the girl says she’s going to shave her head before she comes to school the next day & everyone does but her. The point of the book is to just be yourself. Roommate hopefully learned a harsh lesson.

To a much lesser extent, I had a similar copycat. A woman I worked with started to copy the way I do my makeup, the way I wear my hair, my clothes, even my mannerisms. It started out slowly and kind of ramped up over time. Then since we both lived far from our office, she suggested we carpool. She picked me up most mornings, and we had to leave early... 5 am. She normally arrived a few minutes early and would sit in the living room and talk to me while I was getting ready for work. Then she started coming earlier and earlier...she'd get me out of bed at 4.30, then 4.25. I told her she'd have to wait outside after that... I needed to get ready for work in peace, and she could wait in the driveway until I came out. That worked for a while, until one morning I woke up to pee, and she was sitting in my driveway at 3 am. That was the final straw. I told her it was just not working for me, and said I would drive myself. After that, I noticed she was driving by my house.

That copycat girl sounds like she has some serious mental issues. I wouldn't be surprised if this test caused the copycat to have a breakdown and do something much more drastic.

OP needs to see the movie, "Single White Female"
