Doppelganger Cut Me Off
by Chris

I was on my way to work, about 10 minutes late and stuck at a corner waiting to get out. Just as I pull out, this idiot comes out of nowhere doing about 50 down the main street. I slammed on the horn, waved my hands in the air, and was about to flip the guy off when I got a good look at his face, and stopped.

He looked just like me, exactly like me! Even had the same black hat and white shirt I wear to work. He was driving the same exact car as me with dents in the same areas as mine. He sped around the corner and into the gas station parking lot. I laughed, thinking it was a weird coincidence and told the others at work. We had a good laugh until I got a call from my friend.

To make a long story short, he was at my house and only had 15 minutes for me to let him in to get something before his dad found out it was missing (a bass amp we "borrowed"). I was 20 minutes away. It was an emergency, so I left work and sped out of there like a bat out of hell. I hit the main road, darting through traffic. I was about to round the corner at the gas station when all of a sudden, I hear a car horn. Some guy in a Buick, the SAME EXACT Buick as mine, was honking at me as I cut him off. He was wearing the same black hat and white shirt as me. His car had the same dents as mine... and he was waving his hand in the air, about to give me the finger.... I slammed on the brakes and sped into the gas station parking lot and turned around, but the guy and the car was gone. I must have sat in that parking lot for a good ten minutes before catching my breath. I have never been that freaked out in my life.
