It must be great having a twin- someone to take your math test and to share your deepest, darkest secrets with. But here are 20 twins who found out not all secrets are shared!

The Downside of Having An Evil Twin

*Source *

“Not a twin myself, but I heard this story about a set of twins that my boyfriend is friends with.

One of them worked in an art gallery downtown and had a pretty nice apartment with her boyfriend. Around the holidays she invited a bunch of her friends – and of course her sister – over for a holiday party. Her sister got ridiculously drunk, and when the neighbors asked for them to tone down the noise a bit, the drunk sister became rude and started yelling/swearing.

The next day the twin to whom the apartment belonged greeted her neighbors in a friendly manner, to be met only with hostility. When she asked why they were angry, they told her it was because of how rude she’d been the previous night. It wasn’t all that convincing to them when she tried to say “That wasn’t me, it was my twin sister!”

The Bouncer Has Totally Heard That Twin Excuse Before

“After a few drinks at my place with some friends, nothing too much just a few cans to save some money, we decide to go to a local club. On the way there I call me brother as he said he might be going there tonight “Hey Twin brother are you at the club tonight? Is it busy?”

“No, that’s tomorrow, I’m not going to the club today.” He replies so we continue on our way. As soon as we get to the club I decided to go first as I’m quite sober but I get stopped by the bouncer

“No you can’t come in here,”

“Why not?”

“You’re too drunk I’ve told you before, your friends can come in though,”

“What do you mean you’ve told me before I just got here?”

“Look I’m not daft son so I know you’ve just gone home and changed your top. You’re not getting in here.”

So we left all very confused and I decide to call my brother again just to check. Turns out he had been kicked out of that club three times that night then gone home.

TL;DR Got kicked out a club for having the wrong face”

Frickin’ Twins, Ruining Paperwork

“My uncles used to do all kinds of shit. My two favorite stories:

Once Uncle A hooked up with a girl who was with another guy. He finds out and decides to beat my uncle up. Which, okay, I get it. Except it was a big shock when a group of guys jumped Uncle B while he was walking home one day, screaming about never touching his girl again…I am told he got back at Uncle A big time though.

Uncle B had gotten into a motorcycle accident, and was admitted into the hospital for surgery. Uncle A had recently had his license revoked, but decided to take his bike to the store to grab something. So he grabbed Uncle B’s license. And got into a motorcycle accident. And was admitted to the same hospital for emergency surgery…so they called my grandfather to tell him Uncle B had been in an accident and was admitted to the hospital. He replied, I know. But how?! He just was admitted…. Basically it was a clerical nightmare…”

His Twin is a Jerkface

“I once got jumped on the way home from Jr high because my brother called a girl a synonym for the word penis, Im not being snarky I genuinely cant remember the word.

Another time as a teenager I was at a waterpark and a cute girl tapped me on the shoulder in the wave pool, I turned around and she decked me. . . hard . . . like gave me my first black eye, see stars, almost needed a lifeguard hard. If I remember correctly my twin brother was flipping innertubes and pulling bikini strings, but I was not involved at all and had no idea til after.

Beyond any of this, far worse, was the time I got spanked when I was four because my brother put his handprint in paint on a window, our hands were identical see? I have very little memories from that age but that was stuck because of the injustice! I wasnt allowed dessert that night but my bro snuck me his I think cuz he felt bad. . . little s–t.

We don’t look alike anymore, he got hit by a car with severe brain trauma, fully recovered after months in a coma and now he is an RN, it kind of changed his face shape. I joined the military and filled out while he started running marathons, grew his hair longer and got super thin, so I assume its why I don’t get beat up for him anymore”

Double Trouble

“There are a few but one of the more memorable ones are when we were in high school.

I was just walking through the halls between classes and this guy who I sort of knew rounds the corner and starts walking towards me. I give the classic lazy wave to acknowledge his presence but then his face hardens and he flips me off and starts yelling at me how pissed off he is at me. Now, this guy was normally pretty jolly and we barely spoke so this took me super off guard. He basically continued a verbal assault until I was out of earshot. When I got home I told me brother what happened and turns out they had a big argument in gym class earlier and the guy was still fuming and thought I was my brother.

Another one is when I was staying at a hotel with some friends, my brother, and his girlfriend. My brother was in the bathroom and it was dark and most people were asleep. I was brushing my teeth or something and sat on the bed my brother and his girlfriend were sharing. His girlfriend rises up and starts to hug me before realizing I wasn’t my brother and recoiling. We laughed it off and still laugh about it today but there was a moment of awkward.

I have more because being a twin is fun so let me know if you want any more!

We switched classes on more than one occasion, but only once did we get caught and I still cringe thinking about it. Basically we had nothing important going on in most of our classes except for turning in an essay so we gave each other our papers and decided to switch classes for a day. Turns out we had to write a reflection on the paper we were turning in but we had each other’s paper. My brother tries to play it cool and pretend to be me coming into my (his) class and asking for it. Unfortunately high-schoolers are idiots and the moment he opens the door a kid yells in front of the teacher “DID YOU GET CAUGHT?” I looked at the previously unassuming teacher and she had clearly figured it out. She gave me an absolute death glare then motioned silently for us to swap papers. I switched with him and she didn’t say anything, just shook her head disappointingly and continued with class. Torture”

Hot Dog

“We were poor and 10 years old. After new year a bonfire was held at Central Park. Everyone in the city drove their trees there. Free hot dogs and pop were offered to anyone who assisted with the removal of the trees from the cars to the huge pile. I wanted more than one hotdog so I worked hard for three hours. I was asked by the foreman to head over to the hotdog shack which was down a trail that meandered in the forest. I was starved and knew by my hard work I had earned at least a minimum of four hotdogs.

When I entered the shack there was nobody there except for the cook. He gave me a look of disgust and made me feel unwelcome. I couldn’t figure out why this happened. I reluctantly ordered one hotdog and one pop and went home feeling what just happened to me was unfair. At the dinner table my identical twin brother told everyone he was at Central Park pulled one tree from the trunk of a car then went to the hotdog shack and ate 5 hotdogs and drank 3 cokes. The cook obviously thought he was me. I felt better after his story”

Identical Beatdown

“That he pisses people off, people who were twice his bloody size, I’d be walking between buildings in school and suddenly a veritable giant would grab me by my collar and lift me up to his face, and it would take me like 3 seconds to realize what was happening and say “I think you’re looking for my twin? Has glasses.”

Thankfully he believed me and I didn’t get the s–t beaten out of me, even when it happened again the week after”

Sorry, Bro

Source

“That my twin wouldn’t mind throwing me under the bus for something he did. Realized it when we were in school and a teacher mistook me for him.

Well, he really pissed a teacher off by telling one of his friends that she sucked at something, and the friend then went and told the teacher the same. After that, I had all the faculty and staff coming in to my class and threatening me of a range of punishments. I had no idea what was happening, and vehemently denied everything. It was only then did he confess that it was him and not me”

The Shopkeeper

“One time I visited an adult shop to do a little adult shopping and as I enter the store, I s–t you not the guy behind the counter says “Welcome back (identical brother’s name)! Good to see you again!”

Turned around on my heel and left”

He Couldn’t Resist

Source

“Its more about how I used the fact that teachers couldn’t tell us apart in school…. Once I got punished with a bunch of others in in the class for not doing the homework and were made to sit out in the corridor and shamefully complete it as others walked past giggling…. The teacher walks out of the class and starts lecturing me that I was not paying attention to my studies and need to concentrate more and stuff they normally say.. All this time I kept my head down and already was sitting down so the teacher couldn’t see my face … She thought I was my brother cause she kept referring me by his name…although he was inside the class for he had done the homework…. I kept quite and didn’t say a word and eyed my friends beside me to do the same…. Thankfully they didn’t and the teacher didn’t find out till the end…. Idk if my brother knows bout this … Not that it matters but it was pretty fun…”

No Words For This Twin

“That my twin’s got a really bad rep in a lot of circles. Bigger shock? Told some people he had cancer to get out of commitments. I found out because I went to visit him at university and they asked how I was coping with my cancer”

The Good, The Bad, and The Arson

“He set an eight foot tall hedge on fire requiring three fire engines to put out. Playing with matches when aged 8. People were pointing at me but I had an alibi so I knew it was him”

The Doorman

“Not me and not twins but my grandfather and his brother do look very similar. They started a company together and one day the doorman said to my great uncle “Mr.Naverre, I don’t understand you. Sometimes you say hi to me and ask how my day was and sometimes you just walk by me as if you don’t know me!” And that is how my great uncle realized that his little brother is a really nice guy who always says hi to the doorman”

The Puncher In The Rye

“In middle school, we had two boys everyone knew were identical twins. At lunch, Twin A had been arguing with this group of boys, talking s–t just to rile them up. Afterward, they went down the hall toward his locker, wanting to kick his ass. While they were on the warpath, Twin B just happened to turn the corner and ran into that group of boys, completely oblivious about what had just happened at lunch because they had different class schedules. Twin B got his ass kicked for his twin’s actions, not knowing the reason behind it”

My Brother Is Magic Mike

Source

“My father spent a year abroad before returning to enroll in the same college as his twin brother. The first few days were pretty standard, acquaintances of my uncle mistaking my dad for him, business as usual. That was until one girl approached him, publicly mind you, and with a wink said “you were really great last night. I gave your number to a few friends, I hope you don’t mind.”

Naturally my dad went from there to immediately seek out and congratulate his brother on his good fortune…and hopefully share in the spoils. On the way he found himself receiving a disproportionate level of sly smiles and sidelong glances from some of the groups he passed.

By the time he finally found my uncle, he was thoroughly perplexed. Surely his brother couldn’t have been this lucky, they were good-looking guys, but this was just ridiculous. My uncle flushed and faltered when confronted by my dad. He stammered and tiptoed around the issue before my dad finally got it out of him. How had he managed so prolific a penile pedigree?

He hadn’t. Turns out my uncle had spent all his money in the first few weeks and had turned to desperate measures for cash. He had been working as a stripper, doing mostly private parties, but naturally word got around.

So for the rest of the year my father had to contend with the fact that a good number of the people on campus had effectively seen him naked”

Awwwww

“I was seriously dating a guy at the time and we decided to go look at engagement rings. We got there and started browsing when the sales associate came up and started making small talk. She told us she was glad we were back and asked if we wanted to see the ring we had looked at previously. I had no idea what she was talking about. Turns out he had taken my sister there the previous day to pick out a ring style. Then he brought me to casually get my size and to discreetly see if I would have liked the ring he chose. The sales associate blew his cover and while I wasn’t embarrassed, she certainly was”

“Not twins, just look enough alike that we’ve been mistaken for each other.

He got so drunk at a house party at the University of South Florida, that he was witnessed by half a dozen people trying to suck his own dick in the bathroom, because the chick he hit on rejected him”
