Spouses of an identical twin, what was your most embarrassing moment with the other twin?

1. Dated an identical twin in college. At times, they suffered from what some call “Single Personality Sydrome”. They would do everything together, all decisions were made together. Even simple things. They would wake up in the morning and say “What are we wearing today?” Just giving some context for the story. As I said, I dated this girl in college, her and her sister lived together. Now, the entire time we dated, her sister was single. This, more or less, made her sister the third wheel in EVERYTHING we did as a couple. It was like dating both of them without the perks of dating both of them (I know what you were thinking). One time, the three of us went on a short 4 day cruise in the Caribbean. On the ship, we kind of all did our own thing. One morning, I got up and went to the gym and the girls went to breakfast. When I got back to the room I saw, who I thought was my gf, back in the bed. Thinking we had a brief moment of alone time, I climbed in the bed, spooned up behind her, started kissing her neck, and ran my hand up her shirt. She turns her head, and to my horror, I realize that it’s her sister and not my gf. I quickly backed away and said “OMG. I. Am. So. Sorry”. She took it like a champ. She shrugged, smiled, and said “It was bound to happen at some point.” She also alluded to the fact that this might have happened before with guys that came before me. As far as I know, she never told my gf, and I sure as shit was not going to tell her.

2. Not my most embarrassing moment but something close - I frequent a bar every week. All the servers know me and know my husband - who doesn't come every week but comes enough that our regular waitress knows who he is. One evening husband's identical twin brother and 8 month pregnant wife go to the bar for dinner. Cue several servers giving them some intense side eye and pretty terrible, downright rude service. Brother-in-law says something like "huh, that's weird, Twin always says they have the best service here, pretty sure IdleEmber comes every week" to his wife. His wife starts laughing and comments to the server "hey, I think you know my husband's twin and his wife, they come here every week!" The service greatly improved after that.

4. My mum's a twin, I've caught her waving to mirrors in clothing stores a number of times thinking her sister is also there. In my younger years, I'd often run to my auntie when I wanted to ask my mum something... Especially when she was at our house making coffee in the kitchen or something.

5. A guy I work with has a twin brother who lives across the country. He took a video or when he introduced his two year old son to his twin brother for the first time. The moment that kid saw his uncle, his eyes just got huge and he kept looking back and forth. You could see his tiny brain explode and then he just started crying.

6. My husband and his identical twin were wearing similar clothes and they look the SAME from behind: I hugged the wrong one. Awkward but in the end not a huge deal.

7. I have twin uncles and one of their wives suggested to the other wife that they should switch beds that night and see if the twins noticed. The other wife looked at her and burst out laughing and had to explain that’s not how the look a like thing worked.

8. my wife and I found out that her identical twin was a stripper when a bunch of my fraternity brothers went to the strip club and all started calling and texting me to ask if anything was wrong, and if I knew where my wife was.

9. When I'm over his house, I have to be *very* sure when I approach him from behind to hug him that I have the right one. From the back you just can't tell lol.

10. Not s twin myself, but my brother and I look a lot alike. To the point (when we were in or 20s) that people mistook is for each other. I was out visiting my brother and his wife. we were getting back from a day trip and his wife said she's going to take a bath, in a way that it was obvious to me that she wanted him to join her. Well we go inside, I start emptying the car and taking stuff back into the kitchen when I hear my sister in law right behind me say, "So I guess I'm taking my bath alone" I just stand there trying not to laugh before answering "I think you have the wrong brother" she and i both burst out loud laughing. Still awkward, but it was funny.
