Mistakes people make about me:
Ethnicity - I am often mistaken for being Greek, Jewish or Middle-Eastern. I guess it's the dark hair and eyes. I am actually Italian/Polish.
Age - Telemarketers are always asking to speak to my mom because I have a little girl-ish voice.
They sometimes think I'm a teenage mom - When we first moved to the area, we lived in a hotel suite that didn't have on-site laundry so I took my then 5-month old daughter with me to the laundromat. I had no makeup on and wasn't wearing my wedding ring and was sitting there waiting for my clothes to dry when an older woman came up to me and gave me a flier advertising free classes young, unwed mothers could take to study for the G.E.D.
I'm a Democrat - Because I grew up in Pittsburgh in a family of union members, people often assume I am a Democrat which is about as far from the truth as you can get
