Let's say you know two twins (Say Jack and John) and you see one of them in the hallway. (Note you can't tell the two apart and you haven't seen anyone else say there name today)

Which name do you say? Do you say either name and take the 50 50 coin flip chance you got it right? Or do you purposely not say a name and let there voice give it for you?

I know a pair of twins and I cant tell them apart. I've never gotten their names wrong and I've known them for 3 years.

That'll be $20.

I can't help you there ... I know people that fit that scenerio.

Use pronouns. Just say "Hi", then use you, your, etc. if conversation has been engaged.

i win i never use people's names irl

I can usually tell them apart. :/

Had a pair of twin that I worked with that were so identical it was hard and even wore the same uniform. Luckily, they wore different colored watches. See the color of the watch, know what name to use.

Just don't acknowledge people

Currently in my school, there is a set of twins and I have government with one, and Math with the other. Honestly, I don't really know either of there names so :I

I used to be good friends with a pair of twins back in Belgium, but they were kinda easy to tell apart. They each had a mole, tho one had is near the mouth, and the other near the eye. I forgot which one TBH. Also, they had different voices sorta so there was that.

there's twins at my school who look and sound exactly the same

Does this make me a bad person?

I know two sets of identical twins
I can tell all both from both sets apart.

I know 2 sets of twins.
I can only tell them apart from their hair.

Woah, someone else who agrees! 0: I mean, I don't think it makes you a bad person.

It just kinda feels awkward to me to use names? I'm weird :U I hate saying my own name as well as writing it, too..

If we weren't friends I would probably just say something like "hey" or "excuse me" or something like that, however if we were friends I imagine I would already have a way to tell them apart although if I didn't have a way I will stick with something like "hey"

In my ROTC Detachment, we have two Medinas and they are almost indistinguishable. Fortunately they're pretty senior, so I have to greet them by last name.

Same here. Even if I know the person I'm secretly afraid I'll get something wrong anyway.

I personally know 2 sets of twins and I can easily distinguish them. You're honestly giving a tough question by forcing us into a scenario that would never happen if you know them well enough.

I have a very simple solution.

Give them each a name badge.

No more problems, simples
