Weirdest Asssumption made about you?

[Cody211282]

People think that I'm good with girls, honestly half the time I have no idea what to do, unless I'm dating them.

 

[Simalacrum]

People thought I was the type to like Sudoku... Cause I'm half Japanese.

The shit aint even actually Japanese -.-

 

[SeanTheSheep]

People sometimes mistake me as the younger sibling.

I hired this guy to take care of them.

People used to constantly get me confused with my older brother.
They used to call me "Little Ed"
Bleh.

OT: People think I'm either a genius because I'm a maths teacher, the second coming of Jesus, because I'm a teacher, or a complete idiot because I stay silent a lot of the time.

 

[Lim3]

A woman from work thought i was gay. It was due to an joke conversation about me going on a 'man-date'; me and a manager from work went to the movies and saw Saw III. The funniest thing about it though was the guy i went to the movies with was this woman's nephew, and is married.

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

I just posted this in another thread but in highschool it was assumed that my best friend and I were colombine kids because my friend whos parents are super religious found a vampire the masquerade book and a couple books on paganism in his room and brought them up to the school. I had to sit down with the principal and the school police officer and explain how I had no intentions to shoot up there school, I was just interested in things they didnt agree with.

people also assume im going to hell. which i find hilarious.

 

[ethaninja]

Some people think I'm gay for some reason. It's probably because sometimes I act really childish in a, girly sort of way (as a joke though. I think I get it from my ADHD )

I have a girlfriend who I love, so meh, maybe they are just bored (and yeah I understand most of them are joking around, but some think it's serious >.<)

 

[dontcallmemuffin]

everyone i meet for the first time thinks im american, im actually irish and have never been to america or have a relative there.
also some people used to think i was a lesbian for not having a boyfriend.
most people think i hate them the first time we meet.... i tend to look very angry when i think apperently.

 

[confessor]

If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard "You're HOW OLD?" I'd well, you get the point.
Most people assume I'm 22-23, I'm only 18. I love feeling like an oldie -.-

I also get pegged for having military experience just because I stand upright and a generally serious demeanor. Works well for scaring people though.

 

[direkiller]

I started out with a Yugi deck. No one at my school actually played by the rules though and it was two years later when I went to tournaments that actually took skill to win. Now... oh jeeze you make me want to bring my deck to college and see just how much a two year old deck will get creamed nowadays.

Someone in 8th grade try to show me yu-gi-oh and explain how complicated it was i laughed and the next day i brought in a few Magic the gathering Decks he just stood there with a confused look on his face

found out a little brother of a buddy of mine picked it up he wiped the floor with me except my cleric deck and my burn deck both of wich have things not aloud in extended tournaments. It seem all of the card games are makeing you buy the new set just to have a chance.

OT: people thought i was gay and im not

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

A lot of people think I'm smart. It's the glasses. Goddam stereotype.
... Yes, I'm admitting that I'm dumb.

I'm sorta like that. People think that I'm a genius and a nerd (academically mind) but otherwise a complete social baboon.

I just realised how that sentence proved them right...

Also everyone assumes I'm American and I have an American accent so I don't really mind. One guy though asked me if I was Scottish. After a brief chuckle I asked him, in my best Scottish accent, how did he think I was Scottish.

 

[Toriver]

It's often assumed I'm athiest.

I'm yet to understand why.

I assumed that, but I've got a perfectly decent reason. You're on this website. Seriously, any talk of being christian on here and you get flamed to shit. I just assumed everybody left.

I'm Christian, and I'm still here...

But anyway, when I was in Spain for a semester in college, I thought I would stick out pretty easily as an American, but many Europeans thought I was German, or at least something other than American, even when I started speaking English to them. Two stories: one time at the gym in Spain, a friend and I were speaking English with each other, and a trainer was showing me how to use a machine (I was new to the whole gym thing) and he was called away, so he turned to the manager and had someone come help the "German guy". Then, when I actually was visiting Germany, some newspaper survey guy started asking me questions in German. When I told him (in English) that I couldn't speak German well enough to answer, he switched to Spanish... and still asked me in Spanish if I was German! It was then I told him I was American and he went away. Now, my heritage is in fact German, and you can see it pretty clearly, but I would have thought Europeans would be able to tell an American pretty clearly... oh, well.

That, and in political terms, many assume that because I studied international relations, that I must lean to the left. It's quite a shock to them when they find out that I'm more center-right, and they always give me this open-jaw expression and the question of "How is it possible that you study IR and are still a conservative?" That's really a problem with diplomatic circles today, actually. When everyone who goes into a field has the same worldview, it can shut out other good ideas and qualified people pretty quickly.

 

[Xeros]

I often wear my long leather trenchcoat when I go out so people always assume I'm all kinds of insane. I often get "Hey, do you blow shit up?", or "how many people have you killed?". I don't find it very annoying though, it makes me feel pretty badass.

 

[Gingerman]

A lot of people think I'm a militant atheist, which isn't really true I'm just a Christian that really wishes that organised religion/religious beliefs would bugger off if they cant act like mature adults (fat chance of that happening). Other people for some reason think I'm trustworthy before they really know me, now I'm not saying I'm not but I'd rather earn someone's trust than just be given it.

Apart from that not much else really.

 

[Evil the White]

that as a girl i couldnt learn yugioh on my own....right

let me set this straight

1)i am a girl
2) yes i play yugioh
3) i started when i got two decks on discount (one yugi, one kiba) when the game first came out. up to this time wed been passing my GB color back and forth at lunch and gone through about $45 in AA batt, so i needed something new to fill our time.

Now im at a big tourney, i just beat this guy.... badly. and he says

"Whoa, you play this good! i need to meet the boyfriend who taught you how. That would be a real challenge"

thankfully someone with him read the death glare i gave the speaker correctly and kept him out of my way for the rest of the day

Ahh, the days when starter decks had little more stragetgy then 'bring out the biggest thing you can find to squash the other person'. We had those banned at our school after a limited edition lava-monster the one with the cages in its hands) went missing.


OT, everyone assumes I'm a nerd (yeah), emo (because I'm mostly seen wearing black), that I play Warhammer, and therefore am a super-ultra-mega nerd (because I did it for a bit a few years ago) and that I'm secretly dating my ex (because we still talk to each other).

 

[Mushroom 118i]

People have thought I'm Jewish, Bulgarian, Italian and most commonly, Posh.

The thing is, I'm a American/German heritage, Christian raised Brit from one of the most deprived boroughs of London... which makes me NONE OF THOSE THINGS.

 

[NLS]

In the middle school yearbook, someone wrote about me "(..)and did you know that he also knows Japanese?."
I do however know Norwegian, Spanish, German and English

 

[Cowabungaa]

a man can take of himself and workout without being gay right?

O gods tell me about it... Folks, I just don't want my face to be covered in pimples, so I use facial wash. That does not equal gay.

Neither does never having a girlfriend before, I just don't want to date the local chavvy populace.
