I am Theresa May's doppelganger

I look exactly like Theresa May and there's nothing I can do about it. It's become a living heck. My hair will not do anything other than that stupid fluffy shape (people used to call me Gail Tilsley because of my hair. I didn't appreciate how lucky I was at the time) and my face just sits there, looking like hers. Glasses on or glasses off. Smiling or resting hangdog face.

The filthy looks I'm getting are unreal. It matters not that the PM is unlikely to be driving around east Hull in a 54-plate Ford Focus, or skulking around Bilton Asda in black leggings and a Superdry hoodie. Especially with everything that's going on with Europe right now.

Even when knuckleheads are not growling at me or jabbing their meaty fingers at me and calling me names, I get horrible glares from everyone.

I don't know why I'm telling you, tbh, other than to say thanks a bunch, Theresa May, for ruining both my face and my life.

Join a looky likey agency.

I have, but there's not much call for Red Rum these days.

Oh my goodness OP FlowersFlowers that is a dreadful affliction alright Sad

Have you considered hacking off your head with a rusty breadknife?

Failing that, I have a nice Marge Simpson mask you can borrow?

AlunWynsKnee · 28/03/2019 19:16

Could you dye your hair?

FlutterShite · 28/03/2019 19:16

Palominoo! Thank you for the lolz.

I suppose I could join an agency, couldn't I, and do the Dancing Queen dance at weddings and corporate events.

You can't make such a bold statement without a pic..

dementedma · 28/03/2019 19:17

Photo!

ABC1234DEF · 28/03/2019 19:17

I think we need a photo to judge for ourselves !

Pengrin · 28/03/2019 19:18

How about dyeing your hair bright red? That’ll be distracting.

FlutterShite · 28/03/2019 19:19

Good suggestions, thank you. Hacking my head off has crossed my mind. I have dyed my hair, but it's a dark blonde anyway - doesn't seem to reduce the effect at all. Honestly, the EVIL looks I get. It would be funny if it, well, wasn't.

Oh come on OP, you can't make a claim like that and not post a photo! I bet you look nothing like her.

How about dyeing your hair bright red?

I can't post a picture! You'll have to trust me on this, seriously. I used to be bonny looking (sort of). And anyway, you'd either laugh and confirm it or just be kind.

Bright red hair is tempting though.

Brilliant. You could have some fun with this.

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 28/03/2019 19:26

You should have come to the People's Vote march last weekend.

StealthPolarBear · 28/03/2019 19:27

Yes exactly! In kitten heels.

WeaselKingHenry · 28/03/2019 19:47

Are you my sister?

brizzlemint · 28/03/2019 19:53

Console yourself with the fact that you don't look like Jacob Rees-Mogg.

FlutterShite · 28/03/2019 19:54

I did go to the march! But in a nice pair of Merrell walking shoes and a pompom beanie hat, so incognito and looking about 100 years old.

Weasel, all women are my sisters, so yes.

It could be worse.

You could be Boris, Gove or Hunt.

bobstersmum · 28/03/2019 19:56

Can you dress like her for one day and go to your local sex shop and come out with bags full of giant dildos? Tip the press off. That will serve the bitch right.

Gammeldragz · 28/03/2019 19:58

A lot of fun could be had with the right props...

FlutterShite · 28/03/2019 19:58

You people are giving me much-needed laughs! Thank you.
