If there's any consolation,
@saintmdterps, you're not the first to be confused by me. Another true story...
I've been playing the augmented reality game Ingress from the start (the predecessor to Pokemon Go) over 10 years ago. Early in my time with the game I went on a mission to take out some problem "portals" (basically, points of interest) in Morgan City. I get to the location and realize I'm not alone. Another player from the other team is there gathering gear. Not deterred, I approach my target when she spots me. She drives up to where I'm standing, rolls down her window...
Her: "Hey. What color are you?"
(Point of reference, teams are denoted by either the color of blue or green.)
I look at my hands, look up at her. I look at my hands again and look back at her...
Me: "I'm black..."
I've never seen a person as red with embarrassment in my life as I did that day. She drove off like a bat out of hell...
Needless to say, I completed my mission without any problems.
:biglol:
You, my friend, are not alone. I just have that effect on folks. Lol
