Now, I'm fairly openly political. In fact, I wear political shirts all the time, and I wear my politics on my sleeve. Hell, I'm a poli-sci major. So, one day in Intro to Visual Basic, I'm tuning into testimony in front of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary via their live feed. Something makes me laugh scornfully (it may have been "I don't recall" number 30), and the teacher comes over and asks what I was doing. I tell him, and he rolls his eyes. "Sure. You are the last person I'd expect to be interested in politics."

I nearly died laughing.

my teachers throughout grade school thought I was a jehovah's witness for refusing to stand for the flag or pledge of allegiance. when one chewed me out for it (her father was in the navy, so she used the flag to symbolize her father, apparently) I kind of quietly told her "I don't believe in that..." and she looked like I'd knocked the wind out of her...I think she was scared of a religious discrimination lawsuit or something, which was ironic, as my parents are evangelicals.

Umm:

1. My friend thought I was the most likely to be emo in our group, even though I don't look like one and I whine the least.
2. Because I'm Vietnamese, people are surprised that I listen to rock music and they assume that I study all the time, when I'm usually lazier than the people in my class who are failing.

I have had some people think I'm gay... which I'm not. I just have some severe self-esteem issues, and I don't got the balls, so to speak, to attempt much of anything without some liquid confidence, at the very least. So... yeah, apparently since I don't try to get with every girl I meet, I'm gay. Apparently.

And a 17 year old girl, perhaps the most worrying 'hey, are you new here? Youre really handsome, can I have your number?'

People have images stored in their head and when they look at something, they often revert to the image stored in their head rather than what they're actually seeing. Our brain is a retrieval system that matches images to things it has seen before.

It's extremely common for people to see something that, on closer inspection, isn't.

If we took the time to do everything afresh, we'd be a slow species indeed - the brain is efficient that way, sometimes wrong but the plusses outweigh the negatives.

Yeah i've been to about 7 since I got here but then i'd been to a few at home as well. Apparently telling girls you'll "Strip their willow anytime" is my worst ever chat up line. It took a while for me to figure out what people were saying when they talked about "teuchter". I kept just guessing that it was tractor with a scottish accent.

I find that if you’re a keen and skilful dancer at a ceilidh, you’ll get many an impressed lady asking you to dance. If you can pull off an Eightsome Reel or Strip The Willow with ease, you’ll be laughing.

I’m so thankful I went to a school that had a ceilidh each year; I’ve got no qualms about getting up and dancing my feet off.

Mostly that's just rather funny, although it did get a bit annoying when I was at a bar for a friend's birthday some months back and five separate bar employees had to check my ID. (It wouldn't have been quite so irksome if the friend in question - who had just turned 21 - had even been carded once. Darn him and his mature-looking beard. :p )

Also, seeing as I spend a fair amount of time on the internet, many people online have assumed me to be male. That, however, is kind of a given, and thus not especially entertaining.

2. People think I'm a smoker for some damn reason. Strange people I've never met try to bum smokes off me. It's goddamn annoying. I'm thinking of taking up smoking just so I can light one up in front of them and say "no".

3. People think I'm a goth/emo/stoner/(insert pointless subculture here) because I wear a lot of black. Maybe I wear it because it looks good on me and never goes out of style. Plus, I despise goths, emo's, and the like, and I'm a straightedge.

4. Speaking of being a straightedge, people think I'm out to cleanse the world and purge all non-straightedgers, when in reality, I don't give a shit. Also, I love cheesburgers, so I'm not a vegitarian, either.

5. People assume that other people must not have a lot of misconceptions about me. Flippin' idiots! Gosh!

Some people think I'm a homosexual, citing that fact that I don't act like a pompous ass in front of women and they never see me try to pick one up.

Some people think I'm racist because they don't take the time to figure out my meanings when I say something. (Its because I'm white isn't it?)


Funniest misconception ever has to deal with people thinking I'm gay.

I had met a woman who was a lesbian in college, lesbian lover of one of my class mates in fact. She thought I was gay, so she liked me. Then by the time she found out I wasn't gay we were sleeping together... just kinda happened. Funny misconception there eh?

My dad's got curly hair, and he had a nice tan after working in the field during holidays.

the 'funniest' (i.e. ironic) POPULAR misconception is expecting anything useful, let alone useful AND accurate, from corporate media.

as for misconception about myself, well as much as i hang out in forums on web, (in most of which i go by themnax, btw) probably just everything that anyone can immagine about any are bound to have been entertained by someone. including but not limited my geneder, sexual orientation, beliefs, politics, interests and so on. i'm not that social in mundane life so i don't really know what anyone thinks locally.

and yes i'm married, 'streight' (as in not gay/bi, and NOT as in having anything whatsoever at all against anyone else being whatever they feel is in their nature or inclination), male, very mixed genetic hieratige (which i take pride in being), eco-socialist anarcho-pacifist politicly and open mindedly agnostic religeously (the vast marjority of everything ever immagined might be a very real possibility, it's just that for every possibility that has ever been immagined, there are like hundreds if not millions or more, that have yet to be).

IIRC, Darknovae was one of the people who agreed with my idea of "Nuke the place from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." in the hometown thread.

So, yeah, I'd say there's probably a high concentration of idiots where Darknovae lives.

A lot of people on the internet think I'm a guy. And that was with the sn Enkeli, it means angel... so i thought it should be obvious.

A lot of people think I'm allergic to nuts and milk. Just because I find nuts to be too dry, and cheese is... I dunno, I just don't like them, it doesn't mean I'm allergic.

Some people think I make up all these crazy hallucination stories. So what if a voice asked me my opinion one 4 a.m. I know I'm not crazy, but it's a kind of weird story.

And finally, a lot of people think I'm anorexic just because I don't eat school lunches, or very much when they take me out to dinner. I eat a lot at home, I tell them that, but they just don't get it. It's because I prefer sort of bland but filling food, as opposed to the finicky sort of stuff that's served other places.

A close friend of mine thinks I'm conservative (he's a hardline conservative himself).

On NSG, I have been called a Kahanist fruitcake. I threatened to send Mossad after that poster.

Beyond that, there aren't a lot of misconceptions people can get about me. I wear my religion on my head;), so no confusion there.

How could I not remember smunkee? Everyone remembers smunkee!

Creepy? After the last two years, it's rather hard to hit my creepy threshold.

You want to hear about creepy? Back at my alma mater, I knew a certain couple, who I nicknamed as "the hippie" (I never saw weed, but he had long hair, the rastafarian hat, the "Weed" card game, etc.), and "the little boy" (who was female :eek: ).

Those two had a lot of common interests, too, most notably cosplay (from what I've seen, it involves cross-dressing as anime characters for conventions). :eek:

THAT was creepy as fuck.

People seem to get the odd misconception that I care about how they insult me.
Global warming deniers get the odd misconception that their labelling of me as an 'envirofascist' and as one of the 'sheeple' will have any effect on me.

And lastly, anti-EU groups seem to get the weirdest misconception of all, that because I occasionally defend the EU and its policies that it means that I'm pro-EU.
I feel like pointing out to them that, oddly enough, whilst I may dislike the EU, it is not inherently in the wrong in every situation. As an example, it is against murder...

My father thought I was a lesbian when I told him that I thought this old woman was so cute....yeah dad, like I'm going to become a lesbian for an old lady who was my patient.....uh huh.....great thinking genius.

I'm actually not 16. Many of pictures make me look younger than I really am. Again, another shock for many.

Oh, I'm not a 40 year old Philosophy professor. I got that once....don't ask.

Hmmm.....let's see....

I'm not a mother. Got that one many of times. Don't ask. I look 16 and people think I'm a mother....okay.....guess that works for some people.

Well, that's about all I have at the moment.
