Also, the scourge of Bitchy Resting Face, which I also suffer from. I cannot tell you how many times people have badgered me with "Why are you angry?" until I finally get angry.
I rarely have people ask me what's wrong when I'm not thinking about anything in particular but I do have something I've always referred to as my SEP field. I also rarely have people hitting on me, so I'm pretty okay with this.
My dad and I were in Kenya and Tanzania back when the first Gulf War started. The tourist trade evaporated and the remaining shop and stall owners became desperate for dollars, badgering any tourist they could find even more than usual. Somehow, my epic bitchface turned most of them away, and Dad got twice the amount of badgering that I did.
(And it wasn't because I looked like a kid--I was 21, and people kept mistaking us for husband and wife! And he was at a conference most of the time, so I was on my own and it held up!)
