Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
What's the ******* truth?
Today, I found out three things: One, I was apparently diagnosed with Tourette's as a child. Two, my parents apparently told everyone about it, and had no idea that I didn't know about this. Three, that the diagnosis is possibly incorrect. I'm in for quite the time. FML
Today, I got asked out for the first time in my life. During a prank call. By a complete stranger. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy and he kept winking at me. I thought it was really sweet until later that night he told me he had Tourette's. FML
Sorry…
Today, I was working at Old Navy. A girl came up to me and did a bizarre dance. Not knowing how to react, I imitated her to be friendly with the customer. Then she stopped cold. Her friend stormed up to me and yelled, "You jerk! Why are you making fun of her? She has Tourette's, you know!" FML
Today, for the third time this week, a random person in the street walked up to me and told me how much I look like Grumpy Cat. FML
Today, a total stranger on the bus called me hideous and threw a soda in my face. I only asked him if the seat next to him was taken. FML
Today, as always, I have Tourette's syndrome. It causes me to occasionally make a beeping noise. My boyfriend just figured out that if he beeps back, it makes me beep again. He thinks it's hilarious and won't stop. FML
Today, on the way to work, I was punched in the balls by a complete stranger. FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Close encounter
Today, a creep called me out in the street and asked me why I was in that part of that street, because he "knows " I live in another part of the street, and he found it "odd" that I was there. He was smiling all that time too. FML

"Tourettes may be the least of my issues. . .I hear they lock people up for murder nowadays."

While that is quite rude and offensive, I can't help but think you had to have been doing something to make them think you have Tourettes..

The only correct answer should be "f*** no, why would you ask that?" while heavily twitching.

There must be something you're doing if three different people have pointed it out

Maybe you do OP and just don't know it. Tourette's can be as simple as clearing your throat excessively or jerking your face. Maybe you don't realize you're doing it. It can be very mild. I think I might have it, I don't mind though. There's nothing wrong with Tourette's op.. My cousin has it and she's a perfectly fine, beautiful young lady.

I agree; they may be noticing something OP has always overlooked.
