Wearing the wrong outfit can sometimes make strangers think you work somewhere.

In this story, a girl and her parents were exploring the kids’ clubs on a Disney Cruise.

Another guest approached her for help, asking where to buy a wristband and how to register her child.

Apparently, the guest mistook her for a staff member because of the clothes she was wearing.

I Was Wearing Stripes

My parents and I were just recently on a Disney Cruise.

On the first day, the kids’ clubs have an open house, so we like to walk around and check them out.

This woman came up to me and started asking me where she could buy the wristband.

I told her, “They should have some in the shop,” and then she asked how to register her child.

I said, “I don’t know, I don’t work here.”

This girl was wearing stripes different from the Youth Counselors.

She said, “Oh! I thought you did. You’re wearing stripes!”

I was wearing a red and white striped shirt with blue short shorts.

The Youth Counselors wear yellow and white striped shirts with gray knee-length shorts.

I guess any stripes and I’m qualified to work there!

It was an understandable mistake since both shirts had stripes, but the colors and shorts were noticeably different.

So had the passenger been more observant, she would have known OP was not part of the Youth Counselors.

Oh well, it still makes for a pretty funny case of mistaken identity. Don’t you think so?
