My sister and I swap places all the time. We aren’t even twins, we are two and a half years apart. But we both have brown hair, brown eyes, medium build, similar faces.
We’re apparently alike enough that people don’t question it, or just think they’re crazy.
I have even attended doctor appointments for her because she forgot to cancel and couldn’t pay the cancelation fee. (Obviously not blood work/tests) and her routine doctor didn’t say anything to me about it. I also showed a house to a sort of family friend for her, and just answered all the questions as if I was her. She has also taken my kids to places for me, and just pretended to be me and non of the parents acted like it was strange.
Our husbands think what we’re doing is a little wrong, but sometimes being in two places at once it’s just so convenient.

Well… I love this lol
There have been many posts about twins lately.
I’m lowkey jelly. Love this for you and your sis
My sister and I are five years apart and don’t even look that much alike and get mistaken for each other/ twins. I guess we should have been putting it to better use.
My sister and I are four years apart but we can pass as twins as well. I walked into her building with my toddler (my only child, she has two) and one of her neighbours congratulated me with my “third kid” 😂.
That’s sick!! You have a body double! Super convenient!
Do the two of you ever show up in public with the other’s husband to mess with acquaintances?
If you’re showing houses as your sister & you’re a real estate agent- if people find out they can & will sue you for not having legit credentials; that’s the only thing serious that sticks out to me
Honestly, people are often so bad at recognizing someone they know casually, especially if a person is mostly “unremarkable.”
I used to be one of the two black girls in a particular college pub scene. Me and this girl looked nothing alike except that we were both black, slender, wore glasses, and changed our hairstyles a lot. She was more promiscuous, so there were several rumors going around about me because people couldn’t tell us apart. I laugh at it in hindsight.
Imo, if a person can be fooled in such a silly way, that’s on them.
My older sister gave me her old drivers license and I was 17 and could buy alcohol because we looked alike. Worked every time.
Not broken don’t F with it 😂
I’m a twin and sadly we look nothing alike!! We always dreamed about being able to do this stuff!!
I can just see it now…”what’s that honey? Oh you are too tired for some fun tonight…it’s ok sleep it off sleepy head, sweet dreams” **proceeds to rail her sister!
My sister and I did this all during high school—except she’s a foot taller than me and we had very different hair color and personal style. But our names were similar enough that office staff and others couldn’t tell us apart
this is interesting!
Most primary care doctors have around 1k patients so that doesn’t shock me…
You’re right, it’s similar in the sense that you’re involving others in something that could lead to misunderstandings or problems down the line. However, in this case, the difference is that what you’re doing doesn’t directly violate any clear rules like yelling at a stranger. Still, what you’re doing with your sister could still be problematic if it involves situations where others are relying on someone’s identity and commitment, like medical appointments or family responsibilities. Even though there’s no ill intent, there’s still a risk of confusion or unexpected consequences, so it’s better to reconsider how to handle these situations.
This is so cool. Enjoy it! I have twins but one looks like me and the other like dad, so I don’t think they will ever pass as doppelgängers for each other 😂
My sister and I are four years apart, she once had me take a midterm and a final for her in a college calc class.
At first, it was entertaining. But the guilt I felt after the final when “my” professor reamed me out for getting an A on the midterm but doing none of the homework lives with me to this day. 🤣
Oh god, I would hate to be either husband. I’d be paranoid af that they’d try to trick me and then be like “how could you not know that was my sister and not me?”
My mum looks young for her age and there are so many times where she has stepped in to help me out with my kids going to parties or doing school drop off and pickups and people think we are the same person until the end of year concerts if we both happen to go.

interesting story, i love it haha
The insanity of swapping for a doctor’s appointment has me floored… pay the cancellation fee. You’re paying for the fake appt AND the one she’s actually going to later… why bother with the pointless charade? You have an infinitely lower value on your time than I do mine.
Ditto! Before I turned 21 I used my sister’s ID to get into bars! One time my friend got questioned about her actual ID being fake and I walked in right behind her with my sister’s ID and was let right in 😅
I’m reminded of this joke.
I once dated a girl with a twin. People asked me how I could tell them apart. It was simple, Jill coloured her nails purple, and bob had a penis.
Wow, that’s kinda wild how you and your sister are able to swap places like that… it’s like having a real-life doppelgänger!
I saw a tiktok recently about a long-haired woman who used her short hair bearded brother’s Costco card. Don’t sweat it.
Haven’t done it in years, but when my sister and I were in college, we would take exams for each other. We had the same
major, and would just take each other’s
exams in the classes we were better at. We don’t look exactly alike, but with a ball cap on we could easily pass for each other!
I love this!
Yes, I would say that pretending to be someone you aren’t when walking friends of the family through a purchase as big as ….a house… is more than a little wrong.
For some reason it feels even worse knowing yall did that to a family friend. I’d be pissed that she couldn’t even take it seriously enough to do the bare minimum of simply showing up.
Y’all should switch places for family photos and put them on Christmas cards to see who notices.
There’s a movie about this lol. The sisters even swapped husbands
My sister & I are 16 months apart, and I once picked up her license at the DMV after it was returned by USPS
I wonder who actually notices but doesn’t want to call you out on it just in case
Multiplicity!
My sister and I are 3 years apart but look very alike. People think we are twins all the time. Some time back she broke her ankle badly and couldn’t walk for 3 months. In the middle of this her dog was being flown to the US alone from a far away country. She had made all arrangements but we live in TX and the port of entry was FL so she had to go pick it up in person at customs, with her passport. Well, I flew to FL with her passport and went to pick up the dog. The officer kept looking at the passport and at me. I guess he wasn’t 100% sure but eventually he said “Okay, you have to pay x amount before taking the dog”. We didn’t know about this and I almost made the mistake of giving him my credit card, which will not have matched the passport. I told him I needed to get cash and he told me to go find an ATM. Off I went and came back with the cash. By then he asked again for “my” passport and looked at it again. Finally he charged me and I left with the dog.
Honestly this sounds like something straight out of a movie. I would be way too nervous to even try it but lowkey love that you two can pull it off. Sibling teamwork at its finest.
I think the okayness of it all is situational. some things can be innocuous but others can be inappropriate.
Chaotic good
so far
Love it!!!!
Do you trade places to fuck each other’s husbands?
My sister and I are 14 months apart but get mistaken for identical twins whenever we’re together. It’s amusing. I mean, I know what it’s like to have an identical twin — people point and happily tell “twins!” all the time.
It helps that we unintentionally dress alike too. So many times we’ve met each other at the airport wearing the same colors.
It’s fun!
I love it lol! It’s so funny because my sister and I are 6 years apart (I’m older) and my niece (17) always says we look like twins. 🤷♀️ I don’t really see it but my niece was freaked out today about how much we look alike. I’ll take the compliment of looking way younger than I am 😜
Genius!
My brother and I are 2 years apart in age. Anyway he died about 5 years ago, so now when I have to cancel something or just don’t want to do it, I just tell people I died.
Sometimes it doesn’t work though.
It sounds handy.
But it might lead to issues in some circumstances…
If people don’t care enough to pay attention and challenge you, then it’s not important enough to be wrong.
OP is full of shit. Almost all of these people notice a difference but it’s either inconsequential and/or it’s with people that don’t know them enough to call them on it.
This is not quite the same… a couple of years ago at the school i work at, there were these brothers. They were 2 years apart. They look nothing alike. The older one looked like their mom and the younger like the dad. One day, the older one had new glasses. He was so excited because now he could give his glasses to his brother, and they could swap places, and their teachers would never know. He was so excited to”trick”their teachers. It was adorable. He couldn’t convince his brother to do it, though.
Lame
My sister is six years older than me. We’re not super identical, but if I had wanted to, I probably could’ve taken her ID and used it to buy alcohol because our faces used to photograph really similarly. (And as long as they didn’t look at the height because I’m 4 inches taller).
My sister and I are almost exactly 2 years apart, birthdays in the same month. I’ve taken her kid to doctors appointments, school orientation, etc as “mom”. We look enough alike that people who don’t see her on a regular basis don’t question it. I’m tickled to see so many others do this, too!
Have you swapped husbands ?
There’s a show called Echoes about twin sisters who switch roles back and forth
I read this as a guy swaps with his sister and somehow that was weird but worked in my head.
