So I got some time while I'm on my break, and I decided to share some stuff.
Time for my first post, here we go.
So.
No matter where I go, people take me for an employee.
1. Anime Conventions
So for some reason, people mistake tiny old me (1,72m) for security at anime conventions. They always have the best reasons, like...
"You were watching the crowd, so I assumed you are part of the crew"
"You were wearing a headset[-> iPod earphones], so you must be security"
"You wear a black T-shirt, so you must be security" -> All other security guys wore yellow shirts with the con name printed on it.
2. The UK
While I was on holiday in the UK, I got talked to about 2 times a day.
People wanted to know if I had shirts in different sizes.
People wanted to know if I could tell them where to find certain pens.
People wanted me to open up a new register for them because the line was too long.
I was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts, but still, I was TRYING ON CLOTHES/TALKING TO MY SISTER IN GERMAN CASUALLY, why would you assume I'm working here?
3. My own country, Austria
Pretty much the same as above, just very rude and with more whining when I say I don't work here.
Plus, I get talked to by tourists all the time, but I don't mind that.
Greenpeace donation subscription hunters seem to love me as well, but I think those guys are actually worth a topic of its own.
Now tell me, is it my fault? Am I wrong for wanting to wear plain black T-shirts? Maybe it's the fact that I smile at people when I make eye contact...
