People assume i am gay

foxinsox

I got a virus last summer and it damaged my inner ear, affecting my balance. Sometimes I get vertigo bad..

I would guess that some people assume I've had a few when I keep veering to the left..

It can be quite scary and the funny thing is that not one person would pass any comment, most just pretend it didn't happen or they didn't notice!

Well I feckin notice when I veer into a wall

So people should never assume..

Sometimes people make the misguided assumption that I give a sh*t about their assumptions...

People assume i'm a bitch, cause apparently i look like i'm in a bad mood.

-I'm innocent
-I want to be like the person in question
(i.e I like alternative music as a female I can't genuinely like it, must be for some fashion trend or a fella pssh come on)
-I can't be funny but my mom says I'm cool so like yeah shut your face wasn't axing yah
-I'm a guy (only on this thank god)
-I have money (looking at you chuggers)
-I smoke weed and perhaps do harder drugs, nope.
-I am your average woman therefore I must have really low self confidence
-I consider the thoughts and perceptions of others far too much, this is true.

People used to think this all the time because I had short hair. Yes, because like a modern day Samson, my hetero-ness was in my hair and when I cut it, I got the gay. :rolleyes:

The Volt

I'm often called a player by girls but I actually do very poorly with women. It's rather annoying really.

Ha! I always hated that!

"Cheer up, love. It might never happen."

"What?"

"You look like you're in a bad mood."

"This is my face in natural repose. I wasn't in a bad mood but thanks -- I sure as shit am now."

:pac:

Sometimes I don't take no for an answer, people think I'm a rapist

People I kind of know assume I'm a snobby cow, because I don't say hello when the walk past me, it's not that, I am usually away with the faries and I don't see people. People that know me box the head off me to get a hello, it works for me

seanybiker

People normally think I'm a scumbag. Jeans/combats and tshirt/hoody. Then having a beard and skin head probably doesn't help. Piercings don't seem to go down to well. Fookers.

Wibbles19

get a cute puppy it will cancel out all of that

Larianne

That I'm posh.

That I'm not from Dublin.

That I am a nurse.

Duggy747

One minute I'm a hippy
Next minute I'm a goth

Doesn't matter that I don't wear clothes associated with either of the 2 groups, I have the long hair, y'see.

Oh, and because I'm not from a city I'm a potato-chewing paddy that shìtes out carrots. :pac:

saa

Oh and only my fiances family think I'm rude for being quiet.

Not good at chit chat don't want to, you'd think id be left alone as I smile and listen
but I've been asked to "make more of an effort"

Is this strange, I think this is really strange!
Those who are not comfortable with silence are not comfortable with themselves.

I was talking to a friend about this and I think it's genuinely something of a gender thing in that women are supposed to be friendly and polite and caring and are thought of as stuck up if they're not chatty, whereas a lad can be a "strong silent type."

Never strikes anyone doing the criticising that maybe their conversation is just boring.

A lot of people with hard Dublin accents believe (and tell) anyone without a hard Dublin accent from Dublin that 'yore POSHHHHH soyaArree'.
Gobshites.

xoxyx

I have a weird accent (despite being Dublin born and bred (and bhuttered... ). Most people assume I'm east European.

Fair enough, but that doesn't mean you have to speak slowly around me. I've been speaking English the whole time. My accent doesn't mean that I can't understand you!!!

TanG411

I don't drink, so people assume I am boring, on medication, or an alcoholic.

I downloaded a program for someone before, so now I'm a computer genius.

Same as above, I hate the "How's the weather?" conversations. Small talk is useless. I prefer to listen anyway.

You mean criminals?

People think I'm rude because I may not have much to say at times, especially with people I don't know well.

I'm not good at small talk in work and prefer for us all to die a little in the elevator together in silence.:D

Oh absolutely the men are just quiet, I don't chat to his father no mutual interests and of course that means I don't like him. I will stand my ground and make it known this is who I am, it is not something I am putting on.

Maybe its the kind of family they are as well, presentation is rather important.
This is going to be some wedding I was making it clear how I wasnt going to be walked up the aisle because I am not owned by a man and I got back of my fellas mother oh its just a tradition, just goes to show how people don't think about why they have an issue with someone being out of the ordinary or not following "traditions" ahem the rules.

Is it being tall? I'm 5ft 7 (& 1/2), so tall enough. I think it's more the lack of freckles and being blonde and my eyes are a bit slanty... Irish girls have big roundy eyes. Really, I'm a mongrel - but I can live with that.

chin_grin

That I'm a thanks whore. When I'm really not! I swear!

that i'm poor and uneducated cos i work in a shop

Well I'm 5'10, with red hair. Maybe it's my liking of dancing. Or just a way for guys to getting chatting. But its been said on quite a few occasions.

charlemont

That I'm Polish and how I know that is when strangers approach and ask do I speak English. They don't half look embarrassed when they hear my bastardized Waterford/Tipp with a bit of Cork accent.

Where do you live? Waterford? Tipp? Cork?

People always assume I'm posh because of my accent.

No no i'm really not.

flutterflye

Ya, the same as mentioned already - I'm rude/stuck up because I don't do the whole small talk thing, or the gossipy crap, or the how's Jim Bob after the oul' fall he had in the match there last Tuesday thing.

Also, everyone assumes I am way younger than I am, and treat me as such.

No one ever believes I have kids - probably to do with the above.

And everyone thinks I'm flighty, but it's just my ADD.

Oh yeah, and everyone thinks I'm posh too.
Couldn't be further from the truth - I just have the accent due to where I grew up.

Tipp doesn't have an accent.

MsAllybear

I can be quiet at time where i work so people assume i'm snobby, and then when i get chatting to the older fellas in work, they assume they can treat me like i'm gonna go off with them , while i'm only being friendly and chatting.

people assume i'm drunk when i'm not! I can chat laugh dance scream and have a great time without alcohol but some people just don't get this.

Super-Rush

Some people think I'm bonkers.
But I just think I'm free.
Man, I'm just livin' my life.
There's nothin' crazy about me.
