  • Way too many people assume I'm Italian. When I was a teenager working at Coles little old italian ladies used to come up to me and just start spewing out questions in italian. D: and they always used to look at me like I was lying when I explained I was irish/lebanese....and that I only look like the Irish side of my family. XD

    People often think I'm younger or older than I really am, depeding on the situation. I'm 23.

    At work, people think I'm a freshman in college (I work in the library)

    With my kids, they think I'm at least 26 or 27 (my oldest daughter is 6. I don't usually tell people she isn't biologically mine)

    People think I'm a city girl. Nope.. I was raised on a dairy farm.

    Sometimes people just assume I'm a party girl. Not true, either.

    Also when I visit a site, construction workers/superintendents look at me like I'm some ditzy chick who got lost and sometimes are rude to me only to find out that I am the Architect. Gawd Damn RIGHT!!!

    People have told me I look intimidating. Which I find hilarious. They couldn't be more wrong.

    People haven't told me their misconceptions about me since I was a teenager.

    I guess based on my appearance alone, you wouldn't guess that

    - the focus of my major was Black and African-American Lit.

    MINE TOO!! awww :) anyway, um...when i have long sleeves on people have no idea i'm as tatted as i am, they usually don't believe i skateboard, or still play pokemon, they get surprised at my musical tastes, and anime fetish.

    Men always assume I am a girly girl because I have long blonde hair and big boobs.

    Couldn't be more wrong, I am a total tomboy, and can't stand anything girly. Shoe shopping and handbags bring me out in a cold sweat and I think reality tv and gossip mags are vapid wastes of time. I was brought up as the boy in my family and I am still firmly in that role.

    Fist bump for hispanics who don't speak spanish!

    At least you look it. I tell people I'm Cuban and they think I'm lying.

    -People often think I've very sweet, in reality I've just worked in retail/restaurants/reception long enough to fake it
    -People think I'm a light weight
    -People would never suspect that I've started a bar fight in a biker bar...

    LOVE this topic!

    The biggest misconception about me is that I'm some kinda bad-*kitten* jerk. I've had a lotta people tell me after meeting me that they were intimidated by me at first, and I'm anything but an intimidating kinda guy. I think it's because of my cool haircut.

    Example: Before I started shaving my head, if a guy bumped into me in a bar, he'd look back, then keep walking. Since I started shaving, guys would bump into me, look back, stop and say, "Sorry, man...you okay?" Like I was gonna hurt them, or something. :)

    People never believe that I am over 50 and I'm 53. I got mistaken for Bruce Willis and Billy Joel a couple of times and that I am very scary due to my Police nature but I am a really nice guy. I would give you the shirt off my back!

    1.) I'm a sweet, old-fashioned, innocent, Christian girl - I'm a sarcastic, good-hearted, freaky, modern, atheist renegade.
    2.) I'm a teenager - I'm 24.
    3.) I want to join the Air Force - I know I look prissy sometimes but people are surprised to find out how down and dirty I like to get.
    4.) I don't know sh!* (people speak to me condescendingly and second guess me all the time) - I'm quite erudite, graduated with honors, speak three languages, and will probably go to law school and get my master's at the same time.

    None of this offends me that much; I like to keep people guessing and keep to myself.

    That I only eat "healthy" foods.

    I look younger than I really am.

    That I'm a meat head and dumb as a doornail.

    that I'm a bad *kitten*...i'm covered in tattoos and piercings, but my hobbies are reading and jigsaw puzzles. People tend to think I love sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll...and really who doesn't? but it doesn't mean I'm not highly educated, mother of a 9 year old and have a very respectable job. I can't even tell you the last time i went to a concert, and I've never done a chemical drug lol
