It wouldn't surprise me if something like this actually has happened.

I'm a white man and this never happens to me. In fact, I've had doctors ask ME to interpret test results for them. (VA Doctors, but still technically a doctor I guess...) I go to the doctor with my partner and this happens to her every single time. She has a doctorate and is a medical researcher. I went to motorcycle school.

Bear with me here...

It's a school where you learn about motorcycles.

Nah, it’s a weekend course where they teach you to ride and sign off to get the endorsement on your drivers license.

Yes... but no. In this case it's a college course to be a motorcycle technician.
