1. I have a famous doppelganger out there she just so happens not to be a celebrity. Often times people think I am someone I am not. Usually I pretend to be that person to make them feel better.

2. My parents are very picky about restaurant seating. Usually when we go out to eat we get seated, my parents examine our seating spot, and then decide we should move to a better spot. I have to admit I have picked up the habit from them too.

3. I think Madison, WI has the International Cheese Festival, which is perfect because Wisconsin is the Dairy State.

4. Our fall tradition is to go to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard and usually some sort of haunted house.

1. I’ve spent about an hour of my life over the last 20 years, talking to people who think it’s amazing how much I look like Keith Hernandez (formerly of the NY Mets). My wife even had a picture of me on her desk and regularly heard ‘I didn’t know you where married to Keith Hernandez.’ I also have been told I look like Freddy Mercury of Queen.

2. My brother in law, like many others, can’t order anything in a restaurant without modifying it, or making up his own item not on the menu. We have a favorite sushi restaurant that we won’t even tell him exists, because we don’t want to take him there and embarrass ourselves.

1. I was called Doogie (no connection to my name) for most of high school in the early 90′s. Apparently, I looked a lot like Neal Patrick Harris. I never saw it, but would hear it on a regular basis.

@Cara excuse me I mean Ms Jolie.

I think if you saw me in person you would be pleasantly suprised.

1. I constantly get that I look exactly like someone everyone knows. I’ve even been hugged by strangers in cases of mistaken identity. But I used to get that I looked like Patricia Arquette a lot. No one has said that in a long time, though.

2. I used to wait tables and it annoyed me when customers raved about my service, then left a 5% tip (this was in a fairly upscale restaurant). Like they think their compliments make up for the fact that I’m still broke because people are cheapskates. It was so rampant that I cringed when people told me how wonderful the service was. You could set your watch by their lousy tips.

2. My dad is beyond cheap — he thinks dinner should cost no more than $10 — and he’s a TERRIBLE tipper. To the point that my sister and I will “forget” something at the table so we can sneak back and add more than the 3 percent he left. When we point out that the servers make far less than minimum wage and depend on tips for income, he says “They should get a better job, then.”

Okay, after reading everyone else’s answers for number 1 and laughing hysterically, I feel I should say: “I get Angelina Jolie all the time!”:)
Yeah right to most of the answers on here.

1)I get Chris O’donnell, scott caan,and the occasional matthew mcconauhey. Not bad company but I definitely do not do as many sit ups as these dudes.
2)I once dated this girl who had to have almost every meal specially made, nothing she ever ordered was actually on the menu. Then she would complain when it wasnt right.
3)I live in Delaware there is no reason to come here, Im moving back to NJ.
4)Fall ritual, first major college football saturday, windows open, a case of guiness, steaks on the grill with football and tunes all day.

1. I have gotten Halle Berry (don’t see it), Beyonce (don’t see it), and even gotten Jessica Alba (really don’t see it). Whenever someone comes up to me and says one of those, I look at them cross-eyed and laugh. Please, if I looked like them, I’d be much hotter and famous!

2. I can be a pain in the ass when it comes to coffee, since I’m lactose intolerant. So I can only order from places that carry non-dairy products. I also will order several mixed food dishes (like pankcakes, hash browns/corned beef hash, eggs, and some sort of pork alternative) for breakfast after eating

4. Any International Business Networking Conventions…Detroit needs the boost!

@ Amy

that’s so funny, the number one comparison I’ve ever received was Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Then the movie came out with Scarlett Johansson, and now I receive undercutting comparisons to her “OMG. LIKE YOU LOOK LIKE SCARLETT JOHANSSON WITH BAD SKIN, BUT LIKE..THAT’S OKAY.”

The fact that I have a similar body also propels these comparisons, but I’d rather get no comparisons then comments about acne.
