Hey fellows, new to the board here.
I'll tell you the stereotype that I hate most. When people take a look at someone with extra muscle as being uneducated. Drives me crazy. A few years ago before I made a career change I was a highschool teacher. While working out one day at our local gym, a female approached me and said, "I heard your a teacher. Do you enjoy teaching P.E." I know that she was trying to make small talk but experienced this sort of stereotype all of my adult life. I replied that I don't teach P.E. However, that I teach biology" I then stated that I have a degree in cell physiology with a minor in chemistry. What made you think that I taught P.E.? Her reply was that I lifted weights.
Sorry to rant. Has this happend to anyone else?
