“It’s not a cocaine addiction; I just have ADHD.”
I turned to the little girl (she was about 9) and said, ‘Dream big, sweetie!
Being a lesbian is amazing!’
This prompted us to scour the internet for more.
I discoveredthis Reddit thread, “What is the rudest assumption someone has made about you?
“that has over a couple thousand stories to tell.
Here are some of the most infuriating ones:
1.
“People assume Im lazy because I really enjoy video games.
Bitch, I have a full-time job, house, car, wife, and dog.
The truth is I have really soft underhands, and caps tear me up.”
(Not assuming here I have had guys say this to me explicitly.)
It does help quickly weed out the assholes when I’m dating, though.”
Multiple times I’ve been told I have a cocaine addiction.”
“Many people say that I must be miserable and hate my life because I have kids.
Complete opposite actually but thanks.”
“People think I hate men because Im a lesbian.
Not being sexually and romantically attracted to men doesnt mean I hate them.
“People assume I’m mentally well because ‘I don’t look like I’m depressed.’
This one isn’t necessarily rude, but can be annoying after a while.”
“I used to strip and work at a bank.
“People often think I’m my son’s nanny because he doesn’t look like me.
I also got a lot of people asking if I knew my ‘baby’s daddy.’
Yes, I know my husband.
People also assume that I smoke weed because I have locs.”
“I usually get assumed stupid or slutty because I have big boobs.”
“People sometimes assume I’m probably just some uneducated immigrant who can’t speak English.
I’m Mexican; I drive a truck for a living.
I make more doing this than putting my bachelor’s to use.
I don’t talk much because I’m tired, grumpy, and depressed all of the time.”
“I had an emergency room doctor tell me I looked like an anti-vaxxer.”
“Someone thought ‘just because Im ugly’ I’d date anyone.
“People think I am a weightlifter; therefore, I am dumb.”
10+ years later, Im still pissed.
Though, based on how hes doing now, I dodged a real bullet there.”
We were British, but I think that was a bit uncalled for.”
“That I was pregnant.
These wrongful assumptions are ridiculous, and I speak from experience.”
Like, I’ve literally never watched a second of any anime, smh.”
