"How Dare You": 31 Times Someone Falsely Judged A Person And It Stayed Rent-Free In Their Head

In 5th grade I was the new girl in school and one of the girls in my class said I looked like a prairie girl straight off the farm.

She's still my best friend 16 years later lol.

Just because I have these muscular [duck]ular forearms, babes are always asking me to twist the caps off of everything. The truth, I have really soft under hands, and caps tear me up really good.

My father and I were in Prague when we heard an English woman say to her friend, about us, *”they look so British they can’t be British”*, which I don’t think was a compliment. Okay, we were British but I think that was a bit uncalled for.

Not rude. On several occasions I have been asked if I'm a musician, based on my hair.

Yesterday in Biology class we where talking about Huntington disease. My teacher asked if anyone knew who Woody Guthrie is and no one knew. He looked at me and said "I thought you would have at least." I know I'm older then the rest of the class by at least 9 years, but damn I'm not that old.

My teacher was trying to make small talk with me one day and apparently because I'm a weird, awkward kid she asked "you watch anime, right?". Like, I've literally never watched a second of any anime smh.

I'm an Indian man. I am obviously a pervert.

I am a weightlifter therefore I am dumb.

There was a sizable rumor for some years in high school that I cheated on an ex-girlfriend. It ended up getting debunked when people actually listened to me, but for a while that reputation really hurt.

OK.

Living in Baltimore area in the 90's and we were looking at houses.

We were doing ok, not rich but comfortable enough to start looking at buying.

So we are driving with a realtor to look at a house. Can't remember why she was in the car.

So we are talking about this and that and out of the blue this woman says in the snootiest voice:

"Were you financially handicapped?" She was referring to my childhood, etc.

I know I cannot convey how arrogant and presumptuous this was in a post. You had to be there. This woman was basically suggesting that being middle class was a terrible medical condition or a birth defect.

I normally blow off a lot of stuff but I couldn't believe she had said that. I said, "NO!" and gave her my best WTF look.

In retrospect, I still cannot understand why she would think that even asking a question like that would be appropriate.

Travelling with my wife in Europe crossing border control when the immigration officers ask if she's ok and safe.

I had an Emergency Room doctor tell me I looked like an anti-vaxxer.
