A weird thing just happened..

I was standing here greeting customers as usual. A teenage girl walks in with a male friend. I say 'hi' and smile to them whereupon she freezes and gasps and says to the guy: 'she looks just like Ronja' and runs out of the store crying. Right outside the door she crashes with another friend who asks her what's wrong and she tells her friend that the girl working looks just like Ronja. The girlfriend looks in to see me (awkward moment on my behalf. Do I smile? Do I say hello? I did neither) and she too bursted down in tears. The trio couldn't get away fast enough and I was left feeling less than great about my appearance.

I've never been told that I look like anyone - other than my sister - and now I managed to freak out these kids looking like a copy of their (dead?) friend.

Thanks to your comment I look like a clown today. No one will confuse me for a dead person ever again.

You're fine then, unless the circus comes through town!

Comes through town and takes me with them? Fine by me!
