I used to get the emo thing all the time. Could have had something to do with the fact that I pretty much was one. Still took it as another of life's cruel jokes.
I'm a what now?!

I wouldn't call it an accusation, but in high school I actually had someone I'd never really spoken to before ask if I could hook him up with some pot. To be fair, a lot of my friends did drugs and it was generally assumed I did as well.
Softball? Lesbianism has a wide array of symptoms. Are you...homely? Do you not care about your appearance? (sarcasm, don't burn me)Betancore said:
You're not just old, you're disconnected from your past. Most people are experiencing sexual attraction by 14, often earlier. I realized I was gay when I was 12.
I once met an African American Neo-Nazi. Admittedly it was while I was volunteering at a Mental Health Center...but yeah, it can happen.Bible Doctor said:
Me? I've been confused for a Middle Easterner before. In fact, that's how I met one of my best friends and his family: Some dudes in a grocery store started calling me by racial epithets exclusive to those of Arab descent, and before I knew it a group of 4 Muslims show up out of nowhere and come to my defense.
When the guys left, we started talking and they invited me to a local mosque for a discussion that was happening that night. I took their invitation but I also explained that I was actually a Cuban (and a Christian, for that matter).
Then one of them (a real giant of a man) clapped me on the shoulder and said, "..and we would have still been at your side and we would still made the same invitation even then, little friend."
That guy and I became very close and he still is one of my best friends.
All the time. For awhile, everyone I knew was sure I was nuts. The school even fell for it, and put me on anti-psychotic drugs.
Five years later I'm diagnosed with Aspergers, and a bunch of people freak. My father was seriously considering filing a lawsuit against the school. Amy (woman who diagnosed me) talked her out of it, but she's hated the school since.
...'pologies.

I was called Mexican once...
I was a bit offended...not because I don't like Mexico or anything like that... just 'cause they were using it as a racist insult...
...I'm Italian, by the way...

For some reason, when I was in high school, my entire year (grade) thought I was gay! This went as far as openly gay classmates asking me out. I believe it might have been a rumour that was spread by either someone who didn't like me, or a complete dickhead. I would have liked it if they had asked me rather than assuming because there were a few girls I liked who believed it, too. As a result, I was a lonely child. It didn't help that the homophobes believed it as well. The memory of it still pisses me off!
That's simalar to me. Reportedly, my neutral face looks "miserabe" to others. Whenever someone accuses me of being miserable, my reply is "Oh, yeah, 'cause it's sooo natural to have a smile permenantly plastered across your face!" They usually shut up after that.Jack_Uzi said:
Oh, so he was thinking with his other head. I don't think I've ever been mistakenly identified as any of those previously mentioned, like emo, homophobe, hippy, bi, gay, goth or anything like that. At least, not in recent memory. On the other hand, people have told me they thought I was either British, Italian, or Russian. It confused me too.Aylaine said:
I once knew a guy who called me a 'daywalker'. When I pointed out that I bear no resemblance to Wesley Snipes whatsoever, he justified it by saying that I was the only decent red headed person he knew. Which makes me a vampire thats resistant to sunlight apparently.
Still, more of a compliment than anything above ^^

I get asked "you look depressed," or "what's got you down?" a lot.
The reason is that I'm a very sleepy person, and it gets annoying when my nap is interrupted by someone who can't figure out that people rest for reasons other than depression.
