What’s the funniest misunderstanding you’ve ever been part of?

oh god there are so many but one that still makes me laugh is when i was like 19 and super into the goth/alt scene
• i was at a party wearing all black with heavy makeup and this guy came up to me all serious and asked if i was “going through a phase” or if i was “actually depressed”
• i told him i was just really into the aesthetic and he looked so relieved and said “oh thank god i thought you were suicidal”
• i laughed so hard i almost cried… he was genuinely concerned because of my eyeliner
• another one was when my husband first met my mom and she thought he was “the guy who does my tattoos” because of how he dressed
• she spent the whole dinner asking him about ink prices before i finally told her he was my boyfriend
• pregnancy has given me a few too… people keep asking if i’m “sure it’s not twins” because of how big i’m getting and i have to explain it’s just one very active baby girl
