My mom and I were browsing around a Japanese dollar store earlier tonight, when a woman approached us and engaged in the following exchange:
woman: Could i ask you a question?
me: Oh sure, but we're not employed here
woman: Oh it's okay that you are not employees, but you guys are Japanese, so I figured...
my mom and i: *blink* no, we're not Japanese either, but what can we help you with?
err, that was a first... interestingly enough, although she did apologize for her mistake, the woman didn't seem to be as mortified as I was on her behalf! maybe she was thrown off by my singing softly along to BoA's MeriKuri, so she's not completely to blame...;)
