This happens a lot when I'm gigging. People kind of freak a bit when they see me get up from the bar then hop up on stage and tear into a solo.

Shhhh... don't tell anyone but it actually amuses me. I know, I'm terrible.
I started to write about this same aspect myself. Like .. people I work with, dont know that I am a musician, and so on. You saved me the effort Plank. Thanks my fellow Musician.

The tucking of your t-shirts into your jeans is sure to fool them all. Joke's on them.

I'm fascinated that they've invented robots that can exhibit such human-like behavior. I think everyone can see that Goofle11 exhibits traits of a true AI, which would be an astounding scientific advancement, but he's apparently unable to perceive this - presumably because actual AI is still at least a decade away.

I always wonder how the thought that there is a general misconception held against you comes to exist. Are people being told by those who have that viewpoint? Nobody comes up to me and gives me a false life story for no reason.

I think you're thinking too hard about this. It is when you are aware of the conception through rumour or from that person, or persons, approaching you and asking you are you this or that. If this happens frequently, it is safe to assume that this conception is a naturally occurring phenomenon and is happening without your consent or knowledge.

I'm not denying misconceptions exist, but they do seem to be somewhat self-manufactured, based on the stereotype that you may fall into.

Most people are shocked when they find out I smoke weed too. Which I guess is good.

I've been accused of being stuck up. I'm far from it, but people seem to believe that about me.
