I started out with a Yugi deck. No one at my school actually played by the rules though and it was two years later when I went to tournaments that actually took skill to win. Now... oh jeeze you make me want to bring my deck to college and see just how much a two year old deck will get creamed nowadays.youkokitsune said:
edit: You can add this to your list of weird assumptions: You're fat, single, and annoying.
that was a joke, please don't take offense. : )
Most people think I'm in my 20's, I'm 18. (Maybe it's because I haven't shaved in like 4 months? No that can't be it even before then when I did shave.)
People think I take things too seriously, or I'm being too serious about something. I'm hardly ever serious, seriously I'm not. (Could be because I'm so intimidating, how many people can you make shut up by just looking at them?)
And I'm always being asked why I'm so mad/sad which I'm not.

That I was born without emotions. Fact is, I try not to let anything "rattle" me, or get me angry/sad/whatever. I try to stay calm and focused so I can deal with anything that happens around me in a simple, efficient manner.
Problem is, like the assumption, this rubs a few people the wrong way about my personality, specifically my mother, who is an emotional wreck and thinks I don't love her.
Doesn't help that I often play this up for laughs with a deadpan "I feel nothing" my friends coined up.

That I was American and Jewish.
Seriously.. Just because I have fairly curly hair and an ambiguous accent..
And I can never be pissed off.

A few of my friends joke that I have a penis that stretches down to my ankles.
I empathize.unoleian said:
I got this just the other day, one of my brothers friends mentioned it like it was casual thing to assume.Serioli said:
Just wondering since I live in Hawaii now, and you wear all black, people tend to stare at you weirdly.Aby_Z said:That makes for an awesome story either way.mrhappyface said:Doesn't it get hot though? And I honestly have no idea how someone would have mistaken me for this:Aby_Z said:
And surprisingly, no. It's perfectly fine in the winter as things tend to balance out, but so far now that it's getting hotter the only thing that's bothered me is my black jeans, which I recently switched out for my black shorts. I still wear a T-shirt (usually black but I switch it to a featureless green/red every now and then.) and my black jacket and feel normal all
day.
I don't think I've ever gotten an odd stare, just people ask every now and then if I'm emo.mrhappyface said:Just wondering since I live in Hawaii now, and you wear all black, people tend to stare at you weirdly.Aby_Z said:That makes for an awesome story either way.mrhappyface said:Doesn't it get hot though?

There was an occassion where some random chick took a picture of me on the Subway though. I was blind for, like, 5 minutes. I still haven't a clue what that was about.
yeah I got this, I had no idea why. Same thing with the guy I thought was gay (Although I am pretty sure he is actually gay)Plurralbles said:
OT: Someone once assumed I was going to go all kill crazy and murder my entire maths class after year 12. I honestly have no idea where he got that idea from. (not sarcasm I actually don't know)
When I wear baggy guy's clothes and put on a baseball cap, people think I'm a a very young, pretty boy.
I do not dissuade them. I get a kick out of it. I'm thinking of trying my luck at bars...how many girls can I reverse trap?
j/k I'm way too shy to do that.

Actually the biggest assumption people make about me would be the one that happens in debates. That is, the way they say "I haven't considered" such-and-such a point just because I haven't mentioned it yet.
See, it is very hard to summarise an issue if you've read a fair bit about it, and I tend to read a lot about anything I'm willing to comment on, then miss explanations for a few points on the way to my conclusion*. Usually the point an opponent makes actually fits into my overall view somehow; that's why it's weird and stupid when someone assumes I don't know. I'm sure everyone who uses forums regularly has had this before.
"You don't know what you're talking about" is always a huge assumption and it often implies a fair amount of judgemental thinking about what you "should" know. It's funny that people get offended with perceived "ignorance", when there will always, in the foreseeable future, be far more information out there than what any one person can know, and in any case you don't know that a person is unaware of information just because they've left it out of their statements.
* What's worse is, if I don't miss any points, I get people posting "TL;DR" all the time. Do not want.

Wearing black = goth or emo. I've been called both. Honestly, I look like neither. I've never understood the connection other than liking black.
Not so much a weird one, but one of the worst was the time someone asked how [even then] ex-fiance and I were doing, and whether or not we lived together still. We never lived together, and when I was asked, we'd been broken up for nearly a year. That was all kinds of awkward. Fortunately, it's nearly been another year, and I've been with another since then, so everyone now knows it's long since over.
