    People are usually surprised by how petite I am IRL. Most people expect me to be taller and heavier.

    My husband doesn't eat meat so in restaurants people (dining companions or servers) are often surprised that I do. I can't tell you how many times they have laid out my roast beef or fajita in front of him and given me his salad or veggie entrée.

    Ouch.

    Nah, he's a big bearded guy who looks like he's on the hunt for some beers n' bacon...so no offense ever.

    I could see how that could happen. Now I want to meet you IRL! LOL

    I am really easy going about pretty much everything... until you p*ss me off. New people are always surprised the first time they see me lay down the boundaries (I don't think being 5"1 helps my case either :smile:)

    Probably how happy and sane I am when they find out what I've been through.

    Or maybe hearing what I've been through is more surprising.

    Either way, the past is past and it has taken enough from me. No need to add my present and future to that too

    I asked my husband how he would answer this question about me, and he said that I’m shy. Apparently many people find me intimidating and I come off as much more confident than I really am.

    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.
