Item that people tend to mistake you by.

[Sarkule]

I always wear silver or red Doc Martens ^.^
And I always wear the Evenstar from LOTR, so people tend to think I'm a geek. Which I am, so I s'pose that's ok

 

[Sarkule]

I wear a tophat alot, so much so that everyone form my school is surprised when i dont wear it

I'm pretty sure I love you.

 

[Azure Sky]

I have a t-shirt of the DVD boxart of Elfen Lied my friends dad made for me, so it's pretty much this

Spoiler

in t-shirt form. I've been asked about seven times by people I don't know 'So.. You like hentai then?'

Also, people find my fedora hat strange for some reason, which I only wear to gigs.

*In awe*

"...Wait a hot minuite! Elfen led is't hentai...It's more like Horror ecchi....Anyway cool T-shirt Bro.

I dress in suits, tie or not.

I don't really think it's horror ecchi either. There's nudity, but it isn't sexualised enough to be ecchi in my opinion, and it could only be considered horror in the amount of blood shed.

But each to their own opinion.

Gotta agree there, it probably falls under mindless violence more then anything else.

Well, as America is quite likely the most politically ignorant country in the world, a lot of people mistake the red star I wear as Nazi paraphernalia. When I explain to them that it is Socialist, they claim that Hitler was a Socialist. When I explain to them that:

What they call "national socialist" was originally the single word "Nationalsozialistische" not "National sozialistische", that it is not just a form of Socialism but an actual distinct ideology more accurately translated without the space as "Nationalsocialist" and that their belief is based off of word-play and propaganda rather than any form of reality, they usually tell me it is "communist bullshit" and that they are right because Fox News/Rush Limbaugh/Glenn Beck said so. To be fair to the rest of America- I live in Texas. Some states are better (Vermont elected a Socialist to the senate) and some are even more ignorant. In general though, what I said is a standard American response.

The moral of the story is- I want to move to Europe.

I have never been to America so I don't know how it is over there (only what I see on the Colbert report and the daily show ) But wherever you go, there will always be people who are ignorant to their surroundings. Believe me that there are enough of those kind of people around here as well. Grass is not always greener on the other side (well, perhaps here it is in another way ;P).

Mmm, I also agree and yet I still love that show..

While it's not my favorite, I still liked it, even with its kinda weak story, it was definitely not boring =3

 

[Quala]

I have a fedora that catches flak from idiots. It's a black, paper, fedora, and people start shouting "Indiana Jones!" or ask things like "Hey, do you like Michael Jackson?". It looks ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE the Indy fedora, and I really don't know what fedora(s) MJ wears. So many stupid people in my school. That and I have 2 plain hoodies, one blue, one green, that I wear often.

 

[BeinDraug]

Hmm well due to my unusually long air people recognise me regardless howeverr i do have a black hoodie with a wolfs head on the front and back which i wear al yeah round and im always wearing a black string neck less of some sort

When I celebrated Towel Day, everybody in school looked at me like I was a retard. Even though I spent TWO WEEKS explaining the holiday to everyone I talked to.

I hate my life.

HAHAHA!!! Sorry, don't take it personal, but I had to look up "towel day" if you weren't sh!tting me! Didn't know it existed.

 

[SquirrelPants]

I carry a stuffed squirrel in my pocket.

...

Yeah.

Are you the Janitor from scrubs? Does your squirrel double as a condiment server?

No! My squirrel is alive! His name is Edgar P. Jangles and the P stands for Badass!

 

[Enigmers]

Most of my sweaters are gray, so one guy I know calls me "grayscale" as though I somehow do elaborate planning during my shopping escapades.

Snippage to keep it smallish =3

Am so tempted.. To derail thread.. Like last time.. Must resist.. Oh, to hell wth it.

Tis one of my favourites, but mainly because there's a lot in there I find relatable. Not that I've ever known mass-murdering mutant girls with split personalities, but with the more subtle themes.

[sub]However, it would be awesome if I did happen to know some mass-murdering mutant girls with split personalities[/sub]

Resistance is futile!!

Also, you must not forget the invisible hands =3

/adds something constructive to thread
I do get the occasional comment about my dress sense (IE, mainly black)

Relax peeps. I'm not a nitpicker regarding this stuff

Well, I have a cross tat which makes people think that I'm Christian...no, I'm not. Not any more.

Other than that...um, I have a vampire bite tattoo (got it before the big vamp craze) which means "new life through a painful transformation" to me. Got it as I was turning my life around and trying to "leave my old life behind". It makes sense to me.

Hmm, I also have another tat which people misinterpret from time to time. It says "Live fast, love hard, die young". I've heard people say that they think it means a bunch of different things including that I have no care for my life. To me, it's quite different. "Live fast" is a reminder to me to take chances, not let life pass me by. "Love hard" means to love with all your heart, take that risk because the reward is worth it (I have a beautiful wife and daughter now). Finally, "Die Young"...well, I feel that you're only as old as you feel/allow yourself to be. I'd like to think that, if I live my life by the above ways, I will die "young" (doesn't have to do with age).

(BTW, I don't regret getting any of them other than the cross but I plan to get it covered by something else...just haven't decided what yet. The other two, well, they're good for conversation.)

I used to get called emo or goth because I wore dark clothing.

I would usually respond by calling them chavs[footnote]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chav[/footnote]. (90% chavs that called me emo)

I've changed my style a bit since I was at high school and now I wear smart clothes so people mistake me for a business man occationally.

I've got a tat myself on my right arm of the cover of ...And justice for all by Metallica. Funny thing is when people don't know it and ask what it means for me and I start explaining, their eyes just go blank right in front of me :S
