...to think ‘Resting Can I Help You? Face’ is a real thing?

[Bebepoor]

And does not receive the attention it deserves.

Honestly. Strangers ask for directions and tell me about their health problems. Acquaintances pour out their hearts to me. Friends tell me things I really wish I didn’t know. People moan about Resting Bitch Face but my affliction is much greater. Any other sufferers?

Oh, and my 21 year old son is also afflicted with this.

"On one occasion I was walking home from the school run when a woman stopped her car and asked me how old I thought she was ..."

I think you win, Madison

My Mum has this, random people tell her all of their problems. The best was the chap who delivered something to her house and spent an hour telling her all about the pain in his left testicle, he was a total stranger and she couldn’t have cared less about the state of his testicles I thought it was hilarious (her, not so much)

DD has a sort of "resting competent face", and is mistaken for staff in various enterprises. Her best one was when she was addressed as "Doctor" while attending outpatients, despite being only 17.

Ooh, I might have gone along with that for a bit.

My husband and I both get asked things and spoken to all the time. Even when we were in France we got asked directions

I have this too

I’ve come back to update this happened to me today. We were just visiting a local tourist attraction and a woman asked me if I’d take her photo in front of it. She handed me a quite expensive looking phone in one of those wallet things that was crammed with cards and cash.

I think I should take up a sideline in stealing.

I definitely have this. I’m just clearly the least threatening looking person ever so I get every random’s life story, every chugger, asked for directions. I also wear glasses.

I think eyes are key. I have large ‘kind’ eyes. My DH is also lovely but has small slightly hooded eyes and no one ever talks to him.

I’d love to have RBF.

Oh AND I always seem to be asked if I have a lighter. Never smoked. I always end up being terribly British and apologising for not smoking

OMG this is me too. I don't wear glasses tho, but get stopped EVERY TIME I leave the house. It's much much worse now I have a cute DD with me 24/7. People talk to me about the most ridiculous things. I've even tried the "deeply interested in this book/food/item/music" thing and it DOESN'T WORK. How do I make it stop!?

100% me - but I actually don't mind because I can be a bit of a sharer at times too! Guilty on both sides unfortunately!

I have found my people.
I would love a resting bitch face. I just look too approachable, unless it's me who needs something, in which case I become very ignorable.

Me too! I regularly have random strangers tell me what’s going on between their nipples and knees🙈Friends are fascinated and horrified in equal measures when I divulge what I have been told without asking said strangers a single question! And yes! I wear glasses🙂
