Two dudes who look exactly fucking alike happened to sit next to each other on a Ryanair flight Thursday night, and—much to the glee of the internet—threw a requisite selfie on Twitter that's since gone viral.

As Neil Douglas (the guy on the right) shuffled through the aisle on his flight to Galway, Ireland, he found Robert Stirling (the guy on the left) sitting in his seat. "I asked him to move and when the guy looked up, I thought: Holy shit, he looks like me ," Douglas told the Daily Mail.

It was the first of many "holy shit" moments for the bearded wonders, who'd never met each other before the plane ride. When Douglas went to check into his hotel, his doppelgänger was signing in ahead of him. Later, Douglas stopped by a pub to grab a beer; again, the same dude was already there, having a drink.

The two had a beer together and, since they end of their weird night in Galway, haven't seen each other since, the Mirror reports.
