Actually, it's probably not about having a common face. Our brains are just really good at finding patterns, even when they aren't there. That guy at the library was likely seeing a few features that matched his memory, and his mind filled in the rest. It's less about look-alikes and more about how our memory works. In my experience, we all get mixed up sometimes because human memory is fuzzy.

My old bone folder left these faint, greasy streaks on dark paper that drove me nuts. Switched to a basic plastic one from a dollar store years back, and it was like night and day. No more smudges on my book covers, and it glides over folds without catching. Sometimes the cheapest fix is the one that actually works.

Classic. I bet that grad student is still riding that high. Almost tossed out the whole timeline.
