40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share This story is so prime and I'm so excited to tell it.

I used to do musicals. Like singing dancing musicals.

My brother came to a performance and was at the greeting line afterwards. He goes up to the lead actress in the show as says "great job, congrats, what a show" to which she responds "oh I wasn't in the show actually it was my twin sister. But you were fantastic" To which my twin brother says "I wasn't in the show either"

And that's when the actual lead actress and I walk up wondering why they both look so damn confused.

I've been laughing about it for years

When they got home they were so excited to show eachother their costumes, but when they came out of their room they were wearing the same thing.

When you’re an identical twin, you almost undoubtedly have a unique link with your sibling. That said, it’s also fair to assume that everyone wants to be seen as an individual, too, not just as another ‘copy’ of someone else. After all, it’s very likely that one day, you’ll live in a completely different place from your twin. So, in the meantime, it’s vital to develop an identity of your own and to build up your self-confidence.

Twins Trust explains that some identical twins might hold themselves back from outperforming their siblings. Meanwhile, others become extremely competitive. While it’s nearly impossible to stay away from playing favorites, parents should strive not to label their twins with specific traits.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share Mr Clark.

I grew up in a small town where if you were walking down the road and your neighbors were outside, you smiled and waved.

For years, I would take walks as a kid, smiled and waved all the time to a dear old gentlemen, Mr Clark.

I was sad when I learned he passed away, he was well liked in the community.

A couple of weeks after he passed, I went for a walk as I approached his house, I saw a familiar face.

It was Mr Clark.

Mr Clark was dead.

A chill went through me, I felt frozen but yet able to walk. I felt sheer terror.

In that second, it was confirmed.

GHOSTS ARE REAL.

But no one would believe me, so I kept it to myself. For a couple of weeks, I saw Mr Clark in his yard a couple of times and I hurried on by his house as fast as I could.

That feeling of sheer terror always at the surface, Mr Ghost Clark was a little off. He didn’t smile, he didn’t wave.

I couldn’t take it any more so I mentioned Mr Clark to my besties mom who lived 3 houses down from Mr Clark.

Mr Clark was a twin. The happy twin passed and the curmudgeon Clark was still alive and kicking.

I will never forget the feeling of nearly losing my bowels the first time I saw Ghost Clark after he passed.

I will also never forget the laughter my friends mom couldn’t hold back when I told her my ghost story.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share My Grandpa has a twin brother, and they look nearly identical even now in their late 70s.

My mom told me that when I was a toddler we were at a family reunion. Apparently my grandpa was holding me and talking to my parents and then his twin brother walked up to us and my reaction was to say, stunned and wide-eyed, "Two Grandpa's!!"

I must have been really happy to have not one, but two amazing Grandpas to interact with.

For example, you should not call one twin ‘the naughty one’ while the other gets branded as ‘the clever one.’ (Society will, almost inevitably, do the labeling for them. So, it’s important to avoid it at home as much as possible).

Parents ought to find something that they can encourage and praise in both children, not just one of them.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share I’m not a twin, but my mum and aunt are identical twins. As they’ve gotten older I think they are more distinguishable but from behind most people think they look exactly the same.

My aunt and uncle were round for dinner and my aunt was in the kitchen preparing some food when my step dad came in, hugged my aunt from behind and kissed her neck.

All my aunt said was “Wrong sister.”
Everyone thought it was hilarious but my step dad was very apologetic and embarrassed for a long time lmao.

He said that the reason he thought it was my mum, was that my mum and aunt had the same haircut at the time and my aunt had put on my mum’s jumper. Take what you will from that lmao.

It’s perfectly fine for identical twins not to be completely identical. Parents should allow them to have individual goals and interests. It can also be healthy for the kids to spend some time apart from their siblings and have some time alone with their parents. Twinversity notes that twins should be encouraged to choose their own activities.

It’s essential for parents not to constantly label their kids as ‘the twins.’ They’re individuals, even if they were born together and look alike. For instance, when you’re celebrating their birthdays, you shouldn’t automatically default to getting them shared cards and gifts.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share Slightly off topic.

I knew some identical twins who were both in the trades. One a plumber and the other an electrician. Once in a while they’d end up on the same job site. They would steal each other’s work shirts, wait for a foreman to tell one of them to complete a task. Then “f**k you I’m not doing that” and walk away. Loved working with those 2, they were a good time.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share My sisters are twins. Their favorite story is when one of their boyfriend’s tries to show the wrong twin this weird a*s mole on his butt cheek. Both Sisters are extremely squeamish. So boyfriend thought it was just her being grossed out.

Unfortunately, my dad walked in on him chasing the wrong twin around the kitchen with half of his butt hanging out. My dad just turned around and walked out.

That boyfriend also had a thing for eating raw vegetables like onions, garlic, and potatoes.

EDIT:

the raw vegetables thing was weird because he’d find them in the kitchen, and start snacking on them like they were apples or a cupcake. Garlic and onions are a thing, sure. But the potato was weird.

He got the mole removed at both of my sister’s requests.

My sister and him broke up after she lost him at a mall and had him pages over the intercoms. He felt like a “child”. In her defense, he was on those little mall trains riding around and he had her car keys. They’re still friends though.

Sister’s update on him:

He’s now a pediatric cancer doctor. He is a lovely weirdo and has since married a wonderful woman, has a full soccer team of kids. My sister and her husband had dinner with them last Christmas time. He really grew into his childishness, as it now helps him with his patients. Wife loves his silliness.

...He still eats raw potatoes though, so you can’t win at everything...

EDIT 2:

My sister’s shared this to him. He says there’s nothing wrong with eating raw vegetables, but the potatoes were originally a joke that started getting to big and became part of his identity. It made others laugh and made people around him open up more and be comfortable with you they were. (Or so he claims.)

He says to do yearly mole checks. Have a friend or partner (but not your partner’s twin) help you identify any concerning moles. Follow ABCDE on moles:
Asymmetry. Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving. And Wear sunscreen!!!

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share Two stories from my grandmother (Joan) and her identical twin (Jean)

first, longggg time ago, my grandmother Joan was dating someone and he wanted to take her hiking. But when the time came she really just didn’t feel like it. So Jean took her place for the afternoon and went hiking. Their younger sister Kathy started taunting the boyfriend when he got home with Jean - she kept singing “i know something you don’t knowwww.” I think she eventually gave it away him. That man is not my grandfather.

Secondly, after Joan got married and had a few kids and Jean had become a nun, they tried an experiment on my uncle, who was a toddler at the time. They switched clothes so that Joan was wearing a nun habit and Jean was in regular mom clothes, then they both went into my uncles room after he woke up from his nap. He stared at them for a few seconds and then reached out for Joan, his mother, in the habit. He somehow just knew.

Of course, from a practical standpoint, having two separate parties on the same day might be excessive, not to mention costly.

You could make the twins feel individually special by getting them separate cakes or singing ‘Happy Birthday’ for each one in turn. What’s more, don’t forget that your twins might have different friends who will have to be invited to the party.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share This is actually my friend's story.

She went to see a play at a university with her identical twin. He sister said that there was a shortcut to the theater by cutting through some class building. My friend didn't think that made sense, but her sister seemed confident about it, so she followed along. Then suddenly her sister opens a classroom door and says, "Let's go in here."

My friend goes inside, and freaks out when she sees a bunch of paintings of what looks like herself, completely naked.

It turns out her sister had posed nude for an art class, and thought that would be a fun surprise.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share I've told this story before but it's even more fitting here:

My identical twin sister was dating the president of a fraternity on campus, and during one of the frat's "date night" events she went with her bf and I was set up as a date for one of his brothers. Towards the end of the night I got separated from my date, and my sister's extremely drunk boyfriend put his arm around me while sis was in the bathroom.

Bf leaned in to kiss me (venue was super dark so I think it was an honest mistake) so I backed up to set the record straight. He asked if I was down for a threesome.

With my own twin sister. I still feel bad for ditching my date but *shudders* I had to get out of there asap. Ew ew ew.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share Not embarrassing, but my twin sister is dating a guy that friend zoned me.

*Edit* I’ll add some context.

I really liked this one guy. Super nice and funny and smart and he was pretty cute too. I confessed that I liked him and got friend zoned. It stun and he stopped talking to me after that, which totally sucked.

A month later or so my sister told me about the same guy and how they both liked it each other. I was pretty sad about it, not gonna lie, but they’ve been dating for almost 3 months now and they’re a cute couple.

It does sting when she tells me how great they’re doing and how he is always at our house, but she’s happy, so it’s okay.

Edit (7/10/2020): They broke up because he cheated on her with her friend. Guess I dodged a bullet

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share Only tangentially related to topic but, I feel like sharing.

On my last day as manager of a restaurant, a new girl was hired. I continued to drink there, and she and I got to know each other a little. Mostly just drink and smoke. Gave her a ride here and there. Texted and such. Went on for a year.

Then I started seeing her fairly frequently at a new place. She’d always hug me and seemed genuinely happy to see me. It was nice. I could feel real affection in her hugs.

One day I saw her, and everything seemed like usual but, I didn’t feel anything when we hugged. I was confused but, I figured maybe it was my imagination since I hadn’t done anything wrong. Tbh, it really bothered me, I thought about it all week.

Then the next week I saw her with her identical twin. I was surprised, and Very relieved. (Turns out it happens all the time and her sister plays along as if she knows me because it’s faster than explaining.)

Tl;dr: I can’t Visually tell the difference between identical twins, but I Can tell the difference between sincere and insincere hugs.

Also, now that I know, even though they appear identical, it’s easy to tell the difference.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share My Dad and Uncle are twins..2/3 times a year they’ll show up to dinner or they’ll be at each other houses wearing the exact same outfit only different brands. At first it was funny but now we know it just happens.

People mix them up all the time, multiple times a month they’re telling people they’re not the other haha.. acquaintances and work associates have thought they’re having an affair, my Dad was confronted once and had to explain to the guy (who was a couple drinks in apparently) that he’s not his brother.

An actual story from when they were kids... They’re almost 3 years and share a room with 2 wooden frame twin beds. That Christmas they got a plastic tool chest toy set thing. My grandma says it wasn’t more then 3 weeks after Christmas when she goes into their room and the beds are completely taken apart the head and foot board bolts were removed the slats were removed and separated..They had no idea how it happened. My grandpa called up the company handyman who put it back together. Couple days later same exact thing only my grandparents are pissed now. They got rid of the wood bed frames and got 2 metal cots with the springs which lasted about a week, my grandma walks into their room and found one of the beds completely taken apart each spring removed. The twins though they were working together on the second cot, one of the them was grabbing the fabric and pulling it to ease the tension and the other was using the back of the plastic hammer to pry out the spring.
They ended up losing tool chest privileges.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share One of my good friends in college, we'll call her Ellie, has a twin sister (we'll call her sister). Sister had a boyfriend while Ellie was blissfully single. We were all over at Sister's place making dinner together and having some beers.

Ellie went to grab something out of the fridge, so her back was to the room. Sister's boyfriend walked by, gave her a casual but firm butt grab and went on his way to the counter to, idk, chop something. Ellie gasped and turned around. The room stopped. We all just stared and waited for Boyfriend to notice he'd grabbed the wrong twin. You could see the exact moment he realized Sister, his girlfriend, was not, in fact, at the refrigerator. She was on the other side of the room.

He slowly looked back down at the cutting board; he couldn't even process the shame. He apologized profusely. Ellie was horrified for a second but after she realized it was an honest mistake, she thought it was funny. He literally could not make eye contact with her for a week.

40 Hilarious Twin Mix-Up Stories That Are Almost Too Embarrassing To Share There was a f****d-up story about the twins in my country. Two baby girls were swaped in hospital, and one twin came back home with other family, their daughter stayed with her 'twin sister'. Girls were completely different, but the family thought they are just not identical twins.

They found out the truth when all 3 girls were in high schools. The real twins were constantly called differently and strangers would approach them and say hi. They lived in a relatively small town, so finally some common friends organised their meeting.

Although they look identical, they are completely different people, eg. one of them likes metal music and wears black clothes. The story didn't end up well, although they sued the hospital, both families are devastated by the whole story.

Dated a twin on and off for awhile. In middle school, I would get a call from my boyfriend. We'd chat for a bit and then he'd have to go so his brother could have his phone time (these were the days before cell phones). Then we'd hang up and I'd get another phone call a minute later. From my boy friend. Turns out the first call was from his twin brother. Boyfriend would get pissed.

He tried that a few more times. Then I learned to tell their voices a part.

My identical twin brother, my wife, and myself all went to school together and got jobs at the same place after passing boards. Since there are some rules regarding family working together, I was not hired to the same unit as my wife. But my twin was. It was a lot of fun, taking lunches together, etc. But there was one social worker who just couldn't grasp that my brother and wife were not the married ones. She'd compliment me on how cute they were together, comment on social media how great a couple they were, even talk about how much my kids 'take after their dad' (referring to him). It's all benign and we laugh about it, but she really laid it on thick.

Not a twin, but I had a pair of teachers at my middle school who were identical twins. They tended to dress similarly and I spent a lot of time confused as to how they could move around the school so quickly until someone told me there were two of them, and that they were twins. This was right before one of them got pregnant though, so I would have figured it out eventually

My 8th grade science teacher was an identical twin, and his brother subbed for us. I was kinda of confused as to why he was acting different, then it dawned on me that he was a twin.

My grandma and her sister were twins. Her sister was going to be a nun so couldn't be involved in any affairs. Some guy asked the sister out, who sent my grandma in her place, tasked with ending the date poorly.

I'd like to say there's a funny ending that the guy is my granddad, but he's not, he's just some random dude.

Not sure why that would make any difference to the end result.

If he took you and then realised he then took your brother anyway, so what? Punctuation might help.

I tried to date this girl from class and we were going out on dates and everything but out of nowhere she stopped talking to me because her friends saw me with another girl ( my twin sister) at the movies and thought I was playing her but they didn’t know I have a twin sister.

I'm not a twin, but I knew some in hs.

There were these two identical girls who were your kind of typical sl*tty experimental girls, and they revealed to me they would practice making out on each other. Additionally they shared a boyfriend at some point without telling him they were two separate people. But when he found out, he was real upset because if they were lying about that, then what else was going on behind his back.

Rubbish. Why would bride/bridegroom either not be in wedding garb or in different outfit, and why would innocent mistake result in tempers and tears. Fiction.

Not embarrassing but my geography teacher has a twin brother and when he left a few people without a grade meaning they had to take summer exams, a few of the kids gathered and broke his twin brothers nose and gave him a black eye. They were pretty surprised to see him the next day without a scratch.

What do you think ?

Was in jr and high schools with three sets of twins. Two girl sets one boy set. The boys were fraternal but looked the same until high school. One's face changed slightly so you could tell them apart when together but not on their own. The girls had a little diff styles with each sister. But those boys would swap places all the time. Eventually because of their antics the school told the mother they had to wear diff color shirts each day an it had to be noted and told to all their teachers. Dudes just swapped shirts randomly through the day and still caused chaos. I was friends with their little brother so I got all the stories. He was in my sisters grade one below and would come over to chat with her an me after school.

In my daughter year at primary school (50 children), there were two sets of identical twins, one set boys, one set girls. In addition, there were two sets of fraternal twins. And to make it exciting, there other children who were in the class with their cousins. ------ It was weird seeing so many children who looked so alike.

She saw him one day shouted 'Paul!' His brother then appeared and my friend asked the little girl who that was. Child thought about it for a moment and delightedly declared 'Two Pauls!'
