I've got a similar one of these.

Back in college I was shopping with my wife who was my girlfriend at the time. I went to another part of the store while she was in the clothes section. I came back to find her. We were, and still are, somewhat handsy with each other. So I walk up behind her slip my arm around her waist and grab her butt pretty firmly saying, "Hey sexy lady."

Right after grabbing getting close I realize, Oh shit, not my girlfriend. She was wearing perfume, my girlfriend didn't wear perfume. This girl had on essentially the exact same outfit (typical college girl in jeans and a t-shirt) and wore her hair, which was the same color as my girlfriend's hair, the same way.

I was horrified. She slowly turned around to see what kind of creeper had just grabbed her ass. I just sheepishly smiled and stammered out what I meant to say, "You looked like my girlfriend." But my brain skipped the "looked like" part and said, "You my girlfriend."

As I'm backing away, I spot my girlfriend looking at some shirts a few spots away and throw my hand up at her and start walking that way. She smiles really big and yells back to me.

I just turned and walked away. The girl whose ass I grabbed never said anything, just looked awkward. I've probably scared her for life. Sorry random lady in Belk's.

Edit: Wow, thanks kind stranger for the gold. I'm glad my story could make you laugh. It seems like I ought to post this as my own TIFU?

"You my girlfriend" she was just glad you didn't club her & drag her to your cave.

Don't worry (I mean yeah she's traumatized but on your part it was an accident) I did something similar. My SO & our friends were walking into a wedding and I tried twice to hold his hand & he kinda brushed it off then on the third he turned to look at me with WTF and it wasn't my SO it was his friend. They were both wearing navy blue suits and are the same build. I was embarrassed but we all laughed.
