People have always mistaken my sincerity for sarcasm for as long as I can remember. Apparently I just have one of those kind of faces and give off smart arse vibes.

It used to get me into trouble with authority figures all the time, parents, teachers, police, customs officials, bureaucrats of any kind.

It used to bother me enough to practice in front of a mirror. I never saw it, and now I'm too old to care in any case.
