The second guy in about as many months just stopped me on the street and asked me if I was a D.A. They were both relatively young guys- late twenties I'd guess. And the conversations were nearly identical:
Guy: You a D.A.?
Me: No
Guy: You look like a D.A.
I guess I look kind of serious. I wear glasses, pull up my hair. Neither time was I wearing a suit. This time I thought I really looked like a student. And last time wasn't even in this neighborhood!! I mean in brooklyn heights I understand I'm surrounded by courthouses but in boerum hill its just residential which made it really random!
Also important- these guys were not hitting on me. It wasn't even flirtatious- more just curious and knowing (a strange combination I guess).
I suspect that maybe there is a D.A. in Brooklyn who looks a little like me and happened to be working on these guys cases when they were brought in. Presumptous I know but it makes more sense than the concept that I generally look like a D.A.
