Question of the Day

What erroneous assumption do people most frequently make about you?

Aside from "bad faith," to which I'm considering legally changing my middle name, an assumption that has dogged me for as long as I can remember in real life is the supposition that I'm aloof or arrogant, because I am criminally shy.

If I were a dude, I'd be mysterious. But because I'm a woman, I'm a bitch.
