Copycat

I'm sure you've all heard the term copycat but I'm beginning to get a little spooked by this character on the train (to Connolly Stataion) every day. I first noticed it when I bought a new jacket a few weeks back, the following week this guy had the same jacket, even the same colour. Then he comes starts wearing glasses like mine. Next thing he starts growing a moustache of similar shape to mine. Now he wears the same type of shirt.

It got serious last week when, on purpose, I wore gloves on the train. Sure enough 2 days later in he comes wearing gloves. This guy is big, overweight and intimidating looking. For 8 out of the last 10 days he has been on the same carriage as me.

I don't know if this guy is 100% and I don't think I should approach him, but whats going on here? It was amusing at first - at least to my friends - but I'm far from amused. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
 
I'm not over dramatizing this, I mean could it be just coincidence? We don't look alike. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I just wanted to know if any reader have had anything similar happen or any advice on what (if anything) I should do?

p.s. My sign-in name is related to my work but I'd rather not say anymore.

Thanks,
JT
 
Maybe it's your future-self, or a past-self, or maybe there's a tear in the space-time continuum and your Bizarroworld self has crossed over .

Did you want a sensible answer ?

If this is a genuine concern, stop off in Store Street before going to Connolly.
 
Yes ...try a David Becham style sarong and if he copies you ....phone the guards and run!

Have you heard of these things called mirrors?

John, are we related ??
 
He can't reply in 'Shooting the Breeze' - he only has 2 posts and hasn't posted anything since this thread.

He either didn't appreciate the ribbing or has been bumped off by a 'double' agent! :D

In a 100 metre race Clubman would be nearing the finish line while you were on the blocks looking around to see where you heard the gunshot from ;)
