This hilarious tale of an old buddy’s uncanny lookalike ended in the worst possible way

There’s a corner of Reddit called ‘tifu’ which – apart from irritatingly autocorrecting to ‘tofu’ at every opportunity – stands for ‘today I f***ed up’.

It’s full of often jaw-dropping and frequently hilarious tales of days gone horribly wrong.

And this one is a classic of the genre, a fabulous tale entertainingly (and succinctly) told.

Ooof!

And here are just a few of the many responses it prompted.

‘This is a proper tifu.’

‘Oh dear, how mortifying!’

‘Here I wrote message for you: ” I AM SORRY, will you forgive me for being moron. Love …”

This person might have the best response.

“Lockdown got me too though, you didnt even recognise me!”

‘Make it shared’

Nicely done.

But maybe, just maybe, as this person suggested, there was simply no way back.

‘You might need to ghost your previous life. Just throw your phone and id cards away.

‘You won’t need them anymore. You’re going to start fresh with a new identity, because there’s no recovering from this.’
