    For my husband, it would be that he’s not as cool with smoking and drugs as people expect him to be. He has long hair and kids mistake him for a hippie and ask him to buy things for them, and he actually doesn’t do that sort of thing at all and isn’t okay with it.

    I've known several guys like this! My ex husband was even asked by coworkers in his twenties if he could get drugs for them and he'd never tried anything like that in his life.

    People are surprise by my personality and the fact that I am really kind and caring. I have RBF that I can't seem to control and I'm very quite/shy when I first meet people so everyone thinks I'm mean or stuck up. I'm not I promise!

    I'm in nursing administration and a nurse educator. During the work day/week, it's all business clothes/dresses. I also ride a motorcycle, am a craftaholic (knitting, sewing, weaving, cross-stitch, vinyl/paper cutting), and play multiple instruments.

    "How much you bench press?" I don't and haven't for many years.

    I'm not a fitness fanatic. I eat fast food damn near everyday.

    I'm not sure anything I do surprises people.. family and friends know to expect the unexpected... I keep em on their toes.

    The only thing I can think of is that although I'm an extrovert, love being around people etc occasionally I need to be alone and have quiet. (Though usually I'm plotting a prank or something) 😁

    How much I pay attention. And how much I care. Most folks get the impression I don't care, so I don't pay attention.

    I've spread hundreds of thousands of duplicates over the course of my time in service. Duplication is a messy business.

    For me, it's probably when I say about what a little *kitten* I was, when I was a kid. You would have put me in a foster home lol.

    Even though I come off as a extrovert I’m actually an introvert.

    This describes me perfectly! Also, many people are shocked that I'm a Professional Engineer.
