When I was in the Army and home on leave and I saw friends/family, one of the first things they say is "when are you going back?" Charming!

Standing there in my leathers, wearing my helmet whilst paying for petrol, and the only bike on the courtyard. cashier looks across at the pumps and asks "which one is yours?"

And these people are allowed to be out on their own......;D
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Apparently some people shout out of cars "Where's your helmet?" At cyclists. Have you ever  had that?

When I say ' Gamekeeper ' I get, cruel bastid, murderer etc. If I give it another angle and say Wildlife management I get , interesting, great job etc. One day people will see we don't walk about all day with a shotgun and dog at our side.
Better to stand and look a fool than speak and prove it !
If it aint broke, I'll fix it till it is !!

When I tell people I'm an Aerospace engineer:
"Wow, you must be really intelligent" / "Isn't that really hard?" (The answer: "no I / it ain't. But I'm still crap at it." worries 'em  ;) )

Followed shortly by:
"Can you please fix this?" Generally pointing at something bloody simple that requires 2 minutes with a screwdriver. Or a car.  :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes

My dad is a clever foccer with a PhD in electronics or something. Whenever he gets introduced to people at parties as Dr they always start telling him about their aches and pains.
