Have you ever posed as someone you weren't?

Answer 1

When I was 17... I looked just like Susan from the TV show..Eight is Enough.. I even had other kids at school nickname me Susan because of it.
So..this one time I was at Disney World w/ my family..and tons of people came up to me asking for my autograph.. sooooo.... I figured..what the hell.... didn't hurt anyone.. and it seemed to make people happy to think they got this chicks name on a piece of paper alongside Goofy and Mickey Mouse...
Of course..the chick is a has-been..and from what I hear turned out to be a alien abducted super freak.. so I don't tell the story too much...lol

Answer 2

Yes. I was involved in a piece of "invisible theatre" about 10 years ago. I posed as a young person of no fixed address & spent time deciding which sandwich to buy in an un-named, but famous, "quality" department store in the UK.

Another participant posed as a regular, middle aged, upper-middle class customer who was displeased by my presence in the store - particularly by my picking up packaged sandwiches to read the label, when I was clearly "not hygienically attired".

She began a row, and publically insulted my "persona" repeatedly using derogatory terms and insisting that I had no right to manhandle the food. She slapped me when I retaliated verbally, and other customers became involved. All of them supported the "regular customer".

Eventually security came and escorted me off the premises.

The debate continued instore after my departure, when another participant (also posing as a regular customer), offered alternative points of view.

The over-riding consensus was "people who live on the street, (particularly unhygienic ones), shouldn't come into a store and touch the fresh food."

Hmmm - thoughts?

Answer 3

Once, I saw a kid I went to high school with 10 years later and he was bragging about being a doctor and how well he was doing. He asked what I was doing and I lied. I told him I was an actor and I just finished a film in France with Robert Diniro.
It was kind of fun.

Answer 4

Well, I have a twin brother. Over the years, we have pulled off a few impersonator routines. Some out of tribulation and some for humor. Little unfair huh? ☺

Answer 5

With MPD (multiple personality disorder) it's easy - and everyone is kept guessing, even the disordered individual. . .
Everyday can be a Halloween costume day!
And for the more normal folks (without diagnosed/admitted human disorders)? Each wears many hats and masks, every day, yes?
Seems to me that we all can answer your question with a resounding 'yes' . . . but listen for the whisperers. . .

Answer 6

I posed a sex worker once...

that was a sad night. At least it was a night I can wake up from and leave.

A lot of those boys have to stay there.

Answer 7

Yes--I posed as Bree in a swingers club once.

Answer 8

Most people have acted in plays or dressed up for Halloween because it is fun and different. If you pretend to be someone else to be hurtful or deceitful it's not normal and it's wrong!

Answer 9

Posed as -- NO, but mistaken for someone else and I just played along with it.

Answer 10

Sort of...When I was younger I looked like a younger Barbara Mandrell. I had some people ask for my autograph so I gave it to them, only I wrote my real name just to see the surprised look on their faces. It was rather funny!
