Assuming that you are not Italian, what made them think that you are?

[ChairmanPoo]

I'm not & beats me.  People ask that relatively frequently though.

A couple of times they asked if I was Polish, of all things. And some other places too.  I guess I'm ambiguously foreign.

pasta = yes
meatballs = yes

Is it a normal things for singers to inhale through the microphone when taking a breath? One would've expected them to move it while they breathe so you don't get that horrifically grating noise.

Perhaps I'm just weird and don't like the reminder that other people are alive though.

There's a fun game you can play where you listen and pick out the mouth noises of someone either singing or speaking and then try to unhear them for the next few minutes.

At my workplace: apparently someone has taken the assumption that I'm Italian  to the next level by affixing an "-INI" suffix to my surname in official reports

Vasquezini? Bilbaolini? Maybe if your name wasn't "Mussol" they wouldn't be as tempted to do it.
I recently assumed my doctor was South American when she actually turned out to be Romanian because she had the same break I know Spanish speakers (not being able to differentiate between our two "here" words for example). Turns out Romanian has the same issues for the same reasons. Them damn Latin, can't tell them apart, am I right

That sounds like a form of harassment actually.

Thats a pretty moth. Possibly some form of hawkmoth based on size and wing shape.

[hector13]

All moths are evil. Same with butterflies.

They shouldn't be destroyed, but they should go away.

[scriver]

How the fuck can you think butterflies are evil. That's like hating puppies or kittens. You just don't. Not even Hitler.

[hector13]

Because they just flutter about looking horrible with their awful insect bodies. The wings are just a facade, man.

[Sirus]

Sure, but at least they don't hurt anyone. Yellow Jackets are pure evil.

[wobbly]

Quite like moths but they could perhaps flutter more quietly? A moth in a silent room, pretty irritating if you're trying to sleep.

[Hanslanda]

[Paxiecrunchle]

I think most insects have an unfair reputation anyway.

[Hanslanda]

I love bees. They can kill me in minutes. Still love the awesome little bastards. I love spiders, centipedes, assassin bugs, water beetles, mantids of all varieties, even flies that don't bite are spiffy to me.

Fuck hornets, fuck yellow jackets, fuck mosquitoes.

Insects are awesome, asshole insects I will personally declare total war on.
