Hey guys!

Do you ever hear the same jokes/sayings/questions/whatever brought on by something about you?

For example, I study Psychology in College. I can't even say how many times I've told someone "I study Psychology" only to get "Oh, I'll be your first patient" or "So are you analysing me right now?" Once or twice I've even had "So you can read my mind?" o_O

Or saying "I'm a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do". "I'll make sure not to get on your bad side so!"

And sometimes I hear: "Has anyone ever told you that you look like that actor Saoirse Ronan?" (I suppose I kinda do but still :P )

So what kind of things do you hear said to you, for whatever reason, a lot?

"How old are you? You only look like you're (12-17 inserted here)!"

"You're not really 21...no way."

"So you're a senior? So you're about to graduate right? Doing your student teaching and all?"

And the ever popular when I'm with my sister:

"Are y'all twins?"

WE DON'T. EVEN. LOOK. ALIKE. We got this twice in one day in two different places the day after Christmas. What even.

My name is River...
"Hey, Lake!"
"Cry me a River."
"Do you know who River Phoenix is?"
"Were you born on a River?"

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
Yeah my friend's name is Grace and people say "You're such a disgrace" and it annoys the hell out of her.

I hear people use the word like waaaaaay too much... find a different one.

Whenever I say I'm a biology major, I always get:

"What do you plan to do with it?"


I'm getting tired of answering "I have no f***ing clue."
Haha, yea I got that a lot in college as well. When people asked what I'm going to do with my engineering degree, I just answered "Be an engineer".

When you get asked that, you should answer "I'm going to do biology with it."

Are you and ------ sisters or even twins? You looks so alike!

My best friend looks very similar to me, it's awkward.
I've gotten the "Are you guys siblings/twins?" a few times before.
Except it's with my husband.
Horribly awkward.

Ah! Another psychology student! I'm a former student :P But I've been in that program long enough to say that that was honestly the single most annoying thing someone could ever ask me. I understand that people generally have this idea of psychology being the study of the brain, but that's not entirely it. We study why people behave the way they do, not necessarily isolating the brain from the body. It irked me when people thought I could "read minds" and put me on the spot by asking, "What am I thinking right now?" /rant over.

"Nuclear power plants uses fission-"
"wow you're so smart"
"are you gonna be a physicist?"
"but nuclear power is very dangerous"
"what about the nukes"
"you're like politician"
"do you vote for the conservative party?"

do people really need to edge everything or turn things into a debate?

"Hey, Lake!"
"Cry me a River."
"Do you know who River Phoenix is?"
"Were you born on a River?"

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
My boyfriend's name is River, and he gets the exact same thing. Also, when he's with someone and they drive by a street called like River St. or something, they'll be like HEEYY OMGG RIVER STREET LOOK RIVER HAHAHAHAHA CUZ YOUR NAME IS RIVER

I used to tease him about it but now I understand how annoying it is haha.

And as for myself, I get people pointing out I walk on my toes a lot, because I do and it must look strange to people. It's either just the blatant "You walk on your toes." from little kids, or questions from adults. One time an adult told me I should get it checked out. Another time an adult asked me if I was aware of it. Lol, yes, they're my own feet...

I never know what to say either when people question me because I don't even know what's up with it. It's been like that for as long as I can remember. Never really caused me any problems except that I couldn't wear Heelys as a child. :P

Oh yeah, I also get "you're skinny" a lot. yeah... I'm aware. :( Oh yes, and "You're very pale."
