Weirdest Asssumption made about you?

[AngloDoom]

That I'm gay.
That I know anything about computers- yet people know I accidental set mine on fire once.
That I'm the skinniest person they know (I was once skinny, am not now. People haven't caught up)

That I'm into drugs. I'll be honest here, I don't even look like a stereotype stoner. People say I look approachable and friendly!

That said, I've had someone turn around to a friend of mine and say "Jay, you like racist jokes, right?"

So maybe I'm in with the wrong crowd.
(He doesn't like racist jokes. Cue awkward silence on bus from University with a significant portion of Asian and several black students filling the seats.)

 

[ultimateownage]

To be honest, I haven't had anything like that to me that I remember. The only I can think of is people in my school don't think I'm a gamer, and just a conventional nerd, but that's because all these people are the kind of people who play modern warfare on their xbox's all day and don't think there is any other type of gaming. They also think (the girls in my school do this more.) I'm a loner, which is moderately true, but they also think because I am a loner, I am therefore incorruptible, good, and don't think of girls in a sexual nature. Like, I once went to a birthday party of a friend, and his other friend heard me swear and said "I never though YOU would swear this much."
I also get the "Your just a kid, you can't really be on the same level has me, and be has good of a gamer and has intelligent." thing a lot.

 

[Supernatural Girl]

People think I have rage issues, because I frown a lot. It's not because I'm angry, it's because my eyebrows make for a convenient sun blocker

They also think I am lying when I say that I have never gone further than kissing a lad, just because I am 19.

 

[Davrel]

That I'm 30.

This is somewhat disheartening as I'm only 21.

 

[bluemistake2]

People think I'm a Satanist, usually the Christians from my old school. Still trying to figure out why exactly.

SATANIST SATANIST SATANIST SATANIST!!!!
OT: Someone at my school spread a rumor that if anyone even slightly pissed me off i'd beat them to death, still don't understand why (I threatened him once because he was pissing me off for 3 hours straight)

 

[Sebenko]

Lots of people here seem to get mistaken for gay. I get the reverse.

Then again, it's not much of a stretch. I'm pretty much straight gay, and my attitude towards camp gays is less "zomg buttsecks" and more "Jesus fucking christ, man up you ******".

I'm probably the most homophobic gay outside of deep south US christians.

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

gay emo ******.


how can i be gay?

just cos i listen to power metal dosn't make me gay

(people in my school think power metal is gay)

and emo cos i hate pop music. i'll never understand those oirish

 

[michiehoward]

People tend to make weird assumptions about me. Many people assume I'm 5 years younger than I am since I actually know how to shave and have a quality razor. Also, being 4 inches shorter than most people helps too. Also, many people think I'm Hispanic, which is strange since I'm half White and Half Asian.

you could miracously turn out to be hispanic BOL couldn't help myself

People assume I'm a decade younger, i have a baby face, but saying I still look 17 or 18 when I'm 27, seems alittle ridiculous

 

[Ranooth]

When i tell people i live about 10 miles from the Welsh border they still think i'm Welsh. I think they've still yet to realise that i have no trace of the Welsh accent and a burning hatred for them.

 

[Flight]

Most guys on the street think I want to sleep with them since I usually (gasp) walk by myself. Yeah. They always get confused when I tell them off for harassment.

On a lighter note, most people assume I'm Indian when they see me (I'm not).

 

[InvisibleSeal]

Wow, alot of people being presumed gay here
Me and my best friend both had boyfriends, and because in this party where we got bored we went down to the pool to relax and talk away from the music, these guys followed us and told everyone that we were making out... luckily people came to us to check the rumours instead of spreading them or something actually.

For a year, two of my teachers called me Watkins for some unexplained reason... and they genuinely thought it was my name, despite the register. I actually have no idea how two TEACHERS would mess up my name!
Also, someone once asked me if I was greek. I don't know where that came from either.

 

[iwishiwased]

that i am a girl.
seriously if i go to a bar some dude will hit on me cause i have long hair.
its not even that long.

 

[silver wolf009]

I've been mistaken for the kind of guy that would shive you in a dark alley way. I'm an incrediably nice guy and would never do that.

 

[noodles loves you]

as a comic fan it's generally assumed that I'm an extreme liberal.

... which makes sense?

Depends indie or the big two hairy balls of libertairianism (Marvel & DC)?

It's actually a pretty healthy mix of both, but taste never seems to factor into the assumption for some reason

 

[xDarc]

It was 1997. I was in the 10th grade, Mr Doyle's biology class. I went up to his desk to collect a graded assignment with my profile/side facing the class.

This girl, Lisa Mcsomethingorother, she giggled and asked loudly, "Do you have a boner?" Pointing at my crotch.

I looked over at her and smiled, "No, but thanks for the compliment."

I'll never forget the frown and the way Mr. Doyle shook his head when I looked back.

 

[asgardmothership]

People assume I am bookish to some kind of weaponised level. Simply because I actually READ the books I have to for my literature degree suddenly:
I know every book and every author who ever wrote.
I do nothing but read books.
I have no friends since, obviously, I have no time due to reading books.
If I am caught with a book people who come across me roll their eyes or whip the book out of my hands like I am handling radioactive material.

There are worse things to be thought of, obviously, but it would be nice if people acknowledged I have other interests beyond dusty books, despite what they may have heard....

 

[Ciarang]

People often assume that I'm a rather shady character.

Although I'm quite the opposite.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

I'm often assumed by people who don't know me to be Jewish. I don't get it either.

I'm a atheist FYI.
