I guess it is a two way street.

That's OK...in my DAL uniform I've been asked what ship I'm on. I replied....Das Boat!

I went to Wal-Mart on my way home one time. I took off my stripes and tie before I went in. While I was looking at something, someone asked me what isle the bread is on. I guess the only thing seperating me from a Wal-Mart employee is 6 stripes.

A bus driver, wow? Are ther any other pilots been professionally misidentified due to their uniforms?

I had my uniform on and ounce got asked at a BP "Are you a pilot or some kind of ****?"
Naturally I said "yeah, some kind of ****"

My favorite 'question' is when I come out to meet my mail man...and he always says,

"Not Flying today?"

I like the guy so I just say Nope and we talk about the weather, but just once I want to say,

"Yes I am, I'm in Dubai right now..."

Sorry for the thread high jack, but I love being asked "why are you flying the plane from back here?" when non-reving.

I'm using the wifi and my iPad to fly. Can't get good reception up there.

You wanna take her for a minute?

Oh yeah I was in Boston waiting for the van when I dude pulled up and tossed me his keys thinking I was a Valet. In Singapore one time We were leaving in the early AM when a couple of drunk Brits came into the loby. The one guy walked over and dangled some cash in front of my face and requested that I find him a hooker.

I took his cash and told him I'd have a girl sent to his room immediately.
