    What are people's most ridiculous reactions to things you tell them about yourself/ridiculous things people think about something that relates to you in general and your reactions to their reactions? Not just your sexual orientation, but I mean their reactions to anything, the kind of music you like, a show/movie, a medical or mental condition you have.

    Here's mine.

    People's reactions to:
    I have Aspergers Syndrome.
    "Really? You don't look severely retarded/like you have Downs. You're walking and talking so normal like. Hm. Strange."
    I'm a lesbian.
    "Really? You don't look like you want to become a man. You're so female looking/too pretty to be gay. Hm. Strange."
    I like rock and screamo.
    "Really? You're not white. Hm. Strange."
    I don't like tuna.
    "Really? I find that hard to believe with the whole lesbian thing on the table. *snicker, snicker.* Maybe you're not so gay after all. Hm. Strange."
    I was raised by my Grandmother.
    "Really?...Well, you are black and from a poor city. That's not so strange."

    My reaction to people's reactions:
    :lol: Fucking hell... :roflmao:

    Some of those responses are things I've had said to me in person (whether they said it directly or just with a look) and others are general silly responses to things that happen to be relevant to my life.

    The Aspie reaction is my favorite. It cracks me up the most.

    You're black? But your post seems like it comes from a white chick!

    Jokes aside, I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome as a kid and got similar responses. "you don't look disabled."

    Truth is I think that diagnosis was wrong since I don't display any of the symptoms anymore and it's not something you grow out off.

    One doctor said it could have been childhood stress that showed similar symptoms.

    It's surprising how narrow minded the world really is.

    - Meat rocks! Try this half pound burger.

    - We already knew that

    Ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, a title that isn't in English for once!

    I have wanted to get my hair highlighted red for such a longtime now, but whenever I bring it up I always get ridiculed. Although I may act emo, I don't want to fall into the sterotypes, so I never got highlights. I'm surprised they haven't called me emo over other things, though. I mean, I have the hair, dark clothes, cuts, and everything. Maybe its because im feminine, but I don't know how that would work.

    I have Celiac disease, so I have to be gluten free. If I eat gluten I get sick for weeks.
    I ordered ice cream cake, so you can just eat the ice cream.
    I know there are noddles in the soup, but you can just eat the sausage.
    Well just try a bite, it won't kill you.
    Can you at least have potatoes?
    Just take the bread off the sandwich and eat the meat.
    Some people will just never understand the concept of cross contamination!

    I'm gay
    I thought teachers couldn't be gay.
    But you dated a guy for awhile.
    But you have long hair.

    Me: Green...
    Them: So your not colorblind-
    Me: I knew you were going to say that.

    I'm bisexual
    Them: I really like you, but I wish you weren't gay.
    Me: WUTHUPTCH- who said I was gay!?

    I like having long hair and I enjoy it when it covers my eyes sometimes, I like wearing black
    Them: You don't have any piercings.
    Me: ....Imma make you have piercings!

    I like heavy/dirty electro music (who would have known!?)
    Them: Your skin is too clean to look like a crack junkie
    Me: Thanks I guess.

    You're so smart. Are you going to Harvard or something? (This is particularly annoying and occurs when I talk to a few people in my non-AP classes.)

    I'm a vegetarian. (I was a strict vegetarian for 2 years)

    So do you have to eat turkey bacon then?

    I'm gay.

    Are you like... practicing to be more flamboyant?

    Would I sound really stupid if I asked who JB is/are?

    Also,
    I'm English

    But... You don't have a common/posh accent! *confusion*

    I like wearing black

    Oh Lexie, you're so emo. Do you cut yourself too? *laughs*

    *in my head* Yeah, actually.

    My brother died 5 years ago

    why aren't you crying? Are you some heartless bitch?

    I like punk.

    But... You don't have a stupid haircut.

    Oh, and

    I'm an atheist

    If you say you don't believe in god, I'm going to beat you up after school.

    A boy actually said this to me once in front of a whole class full of people, and the teacher said nothing.

    I'm kid of mad at myself for knowing who he is in the first place, JB stands for Justin Bieber. I despise his music and every other modern singer of today.

    As usual, all of my responses to the vegetarian question ends up like teaching monkeys quantum mechanics. Another dumb thing I got from telling people I don't eat meat is listed:

    - You aren't vegetarian, you are eating cake which contains eggs and milk

    - Why haven't you told me this before? This changes EVERYTHING!

    - Really? Me too! ( All said while he was eating chicken nuggets )

    - You can't be, I've seen you eat bread

    - So you can't ride horses?

    - Don't worry, I won't tell people you're gay ( this one really annoyed me, mainly because the person who said this didn't know I was really gay )

    Thank you! I had a total blank moment, though admittedly, most pop music these dys makes me feel like my ears are bleeding...
