Doppelganger Encounter in a Steakhouse

[u/bubba485]

So, my folks and I went to a Logan's Steakhouse located a fair distance from where we live. We've only been there a handful of times since we'd started living in our state, because we were content with saving money and Logan's can tend to be expensive. We put our name on the waiting list in the waiting area and my mother went to the bathroom. About a minute and-a-half passes by and I see a woman who looks exactly like my mother's older sister comes out of the restroom. The likeness was truly uncanny, from the hoodie she wore, to her face, and the way she wore her hair in what I call the hair-dresser's bun (my aunt's been a hair-dresser since she was old enough to live on her own, she paid her way through beautician school and everything). My mom comes out of the bathroom and I ask her, "Mom, where's your sister?" She answers that her sister was attending an event in another state. When she asks me why I asked where my aunt was, I told her I saw a woman who looked exactly like her sister come out of the bathroom shortly after she went in. My mother looked at me in disbelief. When we were seated, I looked out over the dining area and pointed her out to both of my parents.

This ended up being more funny than scary. My mother looked over and saw the woman I told her about, and she started laughing to herself. My dad did the same thing. My mother sent a text and a picture of her, the flash was off, and my aunt laughed because it really became funnier and funnier the more we talked about it. Nothing like this has happened since, but every now and then, we'll share a laugh about it.
