My dad has a doppelganger named Eric. For years people have been coming up to him, thinking he was Eric. Sometimes people get a whole conversation going while my dad stands there politely wondering why this stranger is talking to him before they stop, wide eyed, and realize “you’re not Eric.” None of us have ever seen Eric, but we know he’s out there. Sometimes a couple years will go by without an Eric incident and we worry. But then my dad will come home like “good news guys, Eric’s still alive, I met his cousin today.”
This post sent my family into a discussion about dopplegangers and APPARENTLY my mom’s boyfriend once had two kids climb into his car at a gas station and they kept calling him “Uncle Dan” (which is his name) but he had never met them. He kept telling them “I’m not your uncle,” but they just thought he was joking, because, you know, silly Uncle Dan is a REAL jokester.
In any case the mother finally came over to the car and LITTERALLY thought he was joking until she looked at his face really hard for a couple of seconds, and she proceeded to yank the kids out of the car and appologize profusely. APPARENTLY their Uncle Dan was supposed to pick them up at the same gas station in the SAME car.
Tbh I refuse to believe that this was just coincidence- I’d rather believe that the timelines crossed for one magical moment and he met his alt-universe niece and nephew.
