Oh, I hear that ALL the time...
What are some things that people say about you or ask you a lot?
For example, I hear that I don't sound like I'm from a certain city because I don't have an accent every time I tell someone what my hometown is.

I always hear "What nationality are you? I thought you were Dominican."
People also think I'm younger than I am when they see me.

FeeFee and mulattogyrl, I'm sure so many women out there feel so sorry for you. 
Whenever I tell people that I was born in Russia, they always ask me why I don't have an accent.

I always used to hear . . your sooo tall . . I bet you play basketball
I also used to hear a lot of comments about me being ugly because I was "dark-skinned" (that was more so in my private middle school years when the majority of the girls there were fair skinned and/or had long hair and the boys really bought into the light and wavy ideal)
Today . . I've come to terms with both my height and my complexion. Now I get complements from the men-folk on both

I used to be asked ALL THE TIME if I was from Jamaica or something. Seems as though my New Orleans accent sounds caribbean.... I never understood that...
When I told people that I was from New Orleans, I was often asked if I performed voodoo rituals, knew Master P or anyone from Cash Money, etc.
People always tell me that I am so sweet, quiet, humble, etc. They just don't know that RD can UNLEASH THE DRAGON when the time comes!

Ditto.
I get a lot of people calling me "sweetie" or "sweetheart" and asking what "grade" I'm in. It's annoying.

Ditto and ditto. EVERYONE thinks I'm Dominican and EVERYONE thinks I'm like 16 unless I'm with a group of other people my age. Lovehaiku, I feel you on the grade thing! They also ask if I have my driver's lisence yet. I know, I know, I'll appreciate it when I'm 50, 'Black don't crack' and all that.

[QUOTE=PerfectVerse06]What are some things that people say about you or ask you a lot?[QUOTE]
Something people ask me alot:
"Ummm hi..ummm...my name is _________ and I am ummm you know, interested in AKA...are y'all having a line soon?" 
People usually think I'm younger, depending on how I'm dressed. They say I don't look old enough to be my daugher's mother.
People say I look mean (because I don't go around smiling all of the time).
If I'm out of state people ask the following questions when they find out I'm from Florida:
Do you live on the beach?
Have you ever seen an alligator?
Have you ever been in a hurricane?

GRRRRRR me too. Seriously if I smiled all the time (not that it is possible), I would make people think I was insane. One guy in college (BUT HE WAS FINE!!!) used to tell me to smile more so I made a point to smile whenever I saw his fine tail. Not that I had a crush or nothing.
You have such a good memory! OMG, you remember everything!
