    I don't know. They probably don't tell me.

    Oh one more thing
    -since I'm a cop in the Navy apparently I'm a hardass who can fight like 10 guys at once, this is what my brother announced to everyone at the bar one of the last times I went home;
    "Hey, hey everybody this is my sister. She's a cop in the Navy-she's been trained by the military and she can kick your *kitten*."

    I'm not an assassin, and I have terrible coordination-all I could say was please, please don't tell people this.

    -Along the same lines with being in the military-my job and life are super exciting because I carry a gun at work. Negative ghostrider.

    *That I used to be obese. Well honey, I have the stretch marks to prove it!

    *That I'm a "dumb blonde." I AM clumsy and sometimes ditzy, but I am one smart cookie!!

    People think I'm stand-off'ish, solitary or unfriendly. I'm not. I am comfortable being alone however and busy living my life. I have no need to chase after people to hang out with.
    People think I'm mad when I'm not smiling. I'm not. It's just my 'serious' look, my 'mad' look is not one many people see.
    People think I'm wearing contacts to make my eyes green. I have on occasion, but my eyes are colorful enough on their own ;).
    Co-workers are always surprised when they see me outside of work - I'm prim and proper at work and sort of punk/goth/metalhead outside of my job (I keep my life compartmentalized).

    1)Most people assume I'm younger than I am, which is fine by me.

    2) They assume I'm a girly-girl since I always wear skirts to work, they don't recognize me in my "normal" clothes (jeans & t-shirt girl through and through)

    3) Generally they assume I am more of a people person than I am. I don't mind people, but I have terrible anxiety and would prefer that everyone leave me alone. I've gotten very good at hiding that, though. And the "people person" assumption is better than the "stuck up b*tch" assumption I've gotten in the past.

    That I'm 22, or don't believe my ID is mine because I'm 40lbs heavier in it

    That I've always been in shape and instantly fell in love with running at a young age

    I have had people think that I am a snob, or stand offish, or scared to talk to me, cos I have got the 'Don't even go there' look. I am not any off these, I get crippled with nerves and fearful of new situations and people, which makes me like that.

    That I am stupid/lazy/deaf/immune to insults/don't deserve to be breathing the same air because I am overweight

    I have always had misconceptions about me, no matter what size I was.
    When I was younger I was thin and sometimes reserved and dressed nice; people thought I was stuck up: I wasn't, I was actually much nicer than I am now.
    I'm heavier so people assume that I'm lazy and eat like crap and that I couldn't outwork them in the gym, so they look at me like I don't belong in the advanced pilates, yoga, or in a cycle class.... I am very strong and people realize this real quick when they get next to me in a workout.
    People think because I can be nice and personable that I'm also a pushover or that I am too nice...
    I have a southern accent, so I must be both gullible and under-educated.

    I could be here all day lol.

    I think the one that annoys me the most is, people think I'm too pretty to be smart. In actuality I'm pretty smart :wink: .

    Secondly, most think I'm still in the mid twenties range of 24-27. I just got lucky in the gene pool draw.

    That I could have never possibly weighed 328 lbs.

    Or that I used to smoke and be a weekend alcoholic.

    That I am...

    1. Stuck up
    2. Going to kill and eat their children because I have purple hair and a nose ring

    That I'm older than I am because I have alot of gray hair. I started having it at age 13 and it just gets more pronounced each year. I color it, but it doesn't last. Of all the things I had to get from my dad I had to get premature gray?

    People always assume I'm very innocent and "straight-laced".... not always so, I have a wild side :wink:

    People assume my children have different fathers because of my age.

    People assume I never finished school when they see me with my eldest

    They also assume I have a lot of help with the children.

    And generally people don't think I have much weight to loose because I am tall and carry it well and 4kg to a tall lady is less noticeable than 4kg on a short lady.

    That I am unapproachable and intimidating. When in fact, I am one of the most laid back, down to earth person ever.

    That I'm weak (because I'm small/slim and veg*n).

    That I'm younger than I am.

    That I'm "lucky" I'm thin (girl please -- I've been a health freak since I was 15 and exercise for at least an hour a day -- I work hard for this, so don't undermine by efforts by attributing my body to luck)

    That I'm either more sexual or more innocent than I am
    (people who know how candid and open I am assume I'm more sexual than I am, people who just meet or see me for the first time assume I'm more innocent (likely because I'm really sweet, gentile and look young)

    I don't know what other misconceptions people have though, because I don't know what kind of impression my appearance gives off.
    Now I'm super curious!!
    What would you assume about me, just based on my photos?

    That I take drugs (because I shave my head)
    That I am too young to buy a cigar even though I am well past old enough to buy alcohol (even the beard doesn't seem to help)
    That I'm happy all the time (because my mouth is frozen in a smile)
    That I couldn't kick their butt in a fight (that's right, I went there)

    People think I'm a high maintenance princess because I love makeup, wear lots of pink, and have a fluffy toy breed dog.

    I'm very much a tomboy, never pay full price for anything, love using power tools, and my dog is a one-eyed special needs rescue.

    People always say i look much younger than my actual age (26)
    And since I am still at school they think that all i do is study. Other than they don't say much about me.

    That I'm snobby, but I'm shy. That I'm a prude- well... that isn't accurate. That I'm not strong.

    Have also been asked a lot whether I'm stoned... I'm pretty laid back and a little ditzy. Red eyes from allergies probably don't help lol.

    1. That I LOVE fast food-actually hate it!

    2. That I don't know much about life-I have been/gone through more than most

    I think we need to start a new thread like, what do you think about the person above you, because this is kinda interesting topic! Love the thread!

    People think I am skinny... when actually, I have gained close to 30 pounds over the last year, and I'm 8 pounds away from being overweight!

    They also think I am high maintenance and catty because I am a "skinny" blonde girl... when in reality I am very low-key and drama-free :)

    EDIT: One more-- they think I am sleepy, because I have bags under my eyes all the time-- but it's a hereditary trait and they will never go away (believe me, I've tried!!)

    That i'm a snob...(nope, just a bit shy in big crowds)
    That i'm a shopaholic because I dress well (sigh...I know how to find sales and would never pay full price, OH and i've not owned a brand name item in my life if I didn't get it from Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls)
    That I would never be the kind of person to get my nose peirced (yep, waited until I turned 30 and bing pretty shiny nose)
    That because i'm sassy and am unlikely to blush as even the most riske joke, that I must be quite "active" (nope, quite far from it)
