You look like... (?)

So, I've been confused with Mr. Krasnoo, Mr. Delaney, Mr. Keaney, etc.  Not too surprising - middle aged white dudes - we are all pretty interchangeable...

However, picture, if you will, confusing me with a 17 year old girl.

Once, long ago, when I had long hair, a waitress came up to my grandmother and I at a restaurant (she approached our table from behind my chair) and said "Hello ladies, what can I get you?"  The victorious, mischievous smile my grandmother (who disapproved of the long hair phase) wore after that remark is one of several reasons I cut my hair a few months later. That incident is probably the closest I've come before today of being mistook in such a major way.

Today, AA was looking for me, glanced into the science office and saw me seated at my desk.  She walked in and came up to my desk only to find her female classmate AT seated at my desk instead.

To help her out in the future, I created this handy Venn Diagram, I was quite surprised that the common intersection outweighs the differences.  So, don't feel bad AA - I'm actually surprised more people haven't made the mistake:
