I have encountered that problem many times over, I was born and raised in South-East Queensland, which probably has one of the more concentrated bogan populations, as a result, the majority of them will mistake me for being British/English (regardless of the fact that all outer appearances suggest I am of Asian descent) because I don't try to butcher the English language.Shocksplicer said:
OT: "Are you from Britain/England/America" - Dozens of bogans I have had the unpleasant experience of conversing with.

When I was going to a fancy dress party dressed as a tiger (a bit of a stylised outfit, for sure, but I had the fur and the stripes and the tail and ears and the face paint with stripes and whiskers, the whole tigery shebang) and some kids in the street stopped me and asked if I was an 'emo'.
To be fair, if you're not moving much or not at the right angle it's kind of hard to tell, everywhere where there are nerves are tingly at that point and everywhere where there aren't is numb. I've had perfectly well sized guys that I've not been sure if they're in or out until they start doing their thing because you're only half conscious of reality by that point.Ryan Minns said:
Well, yeah. Are you telling me that guys only give me boring answers to this question because they're ashamed to tell me they're thinking of breasts or spaceships? We're aware you like breasts and spaceships, you don't have to lie about it!renegade7 said:
I have an older brother who looks vaguely similar, though he half a foot taller and 100 lb heavier. People ask us if we are twins, we are not. That's not the stupid question. The stupid question is:
"Are you sure?" No we aren't sure we're not twins, even though he's over a year older, we have massively different heights and weights. Obviously our parents have been lying to us for over a quarter century.

can't just let this one past me as I assume I'm going to like it a lot as soon as I find out what's Lent. Sotemplar1138a said:
What's Lent? Haven't found it in dictionary. (Actually I did, it told me what I already knew - past tense of "to lend", but it's clearly not that).
"Do you cut yourself?"
No; that's why there are bloody great scars all over me. I have no idea where they came from. They just appeared. Overnight. There is no blood on my craft knife.
Admittedly, I do often lie in response but still. You'd think people would kind of realise; they're not exactly subtle.

I realize it's probably a mandatory question said so often it's probably just a habitual tick from the government worker filling my forum, but she asked, "Do you wear corrective eyeware?" while staring me and my glasses in the face.
It made me laugh a bit, but from her half-vacant expression, I get the feeling she was just kinda going through the day on autopilot.

"Is this interview making you nervous?"
You lead me to the back of the store, sit me in a dark room surrounded by strangers that know I came here alone, and ask me very personal questions. Yes. I now fear for my life.

I think this is a problem for a lot of gingers. Throughout middle school and high school I was asked "Are you related to [Other Red-head]?" or "Are you [Other Red-head's] brother?" etc. I looked nothing like the persons in question. It was frustrating. On the bright side, I got to respond with "I suppose we all look the same to you, don't we?" in the most serious voice I can manage. Every so often the especially dumb ones freaked out and started apologizing profusely. It was extra funny when they actually were asking me about my older brother.
Thank you, good sir. Also, not so funny an answer as I expected, but pretty cool neverthelesstemplar1138a said:
