There are many attributes of various professions and hobbies that have become firmly established in everyday life by people who have nothing to do with them. For example, if we see a person in sneakers on the street, it doesn’t actually mean that they just came from the basketball court. Or wearing yoga pants does not mean doing yoga.
And yet there are still situations in which people try to identify others by external attributes – and, having made a mistake, begin to angrily and with rapture brand them ‘imposters.’ For example, this happened to the author of today’s story, whom a neighbor mistakenly took for a nurse just because of them wearing scrubs at home.
