I was born & raised in Peoria, IL, but I always get asked if I'm from Wisconsin...apparently I have "that" accent. Although, I'm sure I sound pretty funny now that I've been in Carolina for a little while and "ya'll" gets mixed in with my accent!!

You get that too? But if you make me mad enough I'll get Gullah/Geeche in a heartbeat... 
I also get the "Are you related to" or "Are you (insert relative here) child/niece/grandchild?" People also say that I'm younger than I look.

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.

I used to get that from a bruh in college. Sometimes I get it at work too. And that's because I don't wanna be there and don't want to deal with the people I work with!

Mine have been:
"How old are you?" I have been hearing that a LOT recently. I always respond with "Guess." The consensus has been that I am at least 5-7 years younger than I really am. This has been giving me confidence that I need to get out more and start mackin'.
"Why aren't you married?" 'Cause I'm not done sowing my wild oats, miass!
I know I'll be back with more later on....

I would bet cash money that you've never been seriously asked that. The reasons are too clear.

NO SUEDE, SHERLOCK! The reason is: I obviously have not found someone who is worthy of me committing to spend the rest of my life with, and I am not about to go into marriage half-stepping. Marriage is a committment not to be taken lightly. You of all people here should know that. Didn't you learn anything coming out of your marriage?
Good grief!

I get the mean thing too. But I know I'm mean so I just shrug it off.

Actually the reason is written all over your face. That's about it.

Girl, people will sit there are argue with me for minutes because they don't think I'm from Charleston!!
They say, 'Well, you must've moved there or something.' and I tell them that I've got several generations of family that have lived there. But they still don't accept that.
How are you gonna fuss at me and tell me where I'm from? Even my boss from an old college job was telling me I couldn't possibly be from Charleston...while we were in the interview!

This actually happened to me a few weeks ago at the school where I work:
Stranger: Hey man, anybody ever tell you you look like Rockwell?
Rashid: [Thinking] Rockwell?????
Rockwell? The singer?
Stranger: Yeah!!!!
Rashid: [Still thinking] 
Rockwell? Are you sure?? The one that sings "Somebody's Watching Me?" From the 80s???
Stranger: Yeah!!!
Rashid: WAIT. Do you mean MAXWELL???? 
Stranger: Ooooooooh yeah, THAT guy!!!! Yeah, that's who I meant. No offense, homie.
Rashid: I was finna SAY.
The moral of the story is that I can't win -- I'm either Eric Benet with locs or Maxwell with the afro. And I keep getting asked if I've ever heard either before.

Senusret, I am ROFLMAO!!! The whole time I was reading that, I was thinking "Who in the HAYYYYYYYYYYYYLE remembers what Rockwell looks like?" I mean, I know who the dude is (yes, I admit, I still sing AND listen to that song, but I digress), but I have NO recollection as to what he looks like (until you posted the picture). I would have WALKED to where you are and promptly given this stranger a beatdown for comparing someone to Rockwell.
That has made my week!!

Has anyone told you you favor or look just like MC Lyte? Got that my first day in college and that became my school nickname. 12 yrs later folks still call me that. Just got asked that in training last week! But I love Lyte so it's all good!

Is that your real hair? (Its to the middle of my back-When I 1st met my ex boyfriend's grandmother, she pulled my ponytail when I wasn't looking, to see if that was true!)
What are you mixed with? (75 percent black and about 25 percent chinese)
How old are you? (I look younger than my age. Hey, I'm short and petite!)
