This is a variation on Accidental Pervert, in which the accidental part is not so accidental. This trope generally comes in two variations. First, are instances where someone intends to initiate romantic/sexual contact with a significant other or romantic interest, but touches the wrong person. This will usually be because someone looks similar to the real target of affection. In other instances, a character actually means to sexually harass someone (usually a Ms. Fanservice character), but for the same reasons as above, picks the wrong person (usually a gonk or otherwise stern and/or unattractive character). The victim and perpetrator can be of any combination of genders. When both are straight but of the same gender this may result in Ho Yay and Les Yay. Compare/contrast with Bed Trick and Bride and Switch, wherein there is deliberate deception on the part of one of the parties involved. May overlap with Mistaken from Behind. |

In one episode of Reba, Van comes home drunk and accidentally goes into Reba's (his mother-in-law's) bedroom instead of Cheyanne's (his wife's), climbs into bed and starts trying to initiate sex. Reba corrects him before anything happens, and he runs out of the room in horror. Cheyanne's miffed, but Reba just finds the whole thing hilarious. | |

In The Big Easy after a night of lovemaking, Anne mistakes Bobby McSwain for his brother Remy, coming up behind him and pinching his ass. The brothers aren't all that identical, but given that she had no reason to expect any other man in the house and her view of Bobby was mostly of his rear end as he bent to rummage through the fridge, it is perhaps an understandable mistake. | |

In Minato's sequel in Our Two Bedroom Story, the protagonist mistakes Minato's younger brother Wataru, who she has never met, with Minato when she comes home from work and sees him out on the veranda. Since his back is to her, she doesn't realize her mistake until she's already hugging him, and things only get more awkward from there. | |
