I'm also always the one to start sweating, about ... me. I don't look Arabic, I'm not particularly tanned, I don't even have decent facial hair. But I always feel suspicious when I walk into an airport, a train station, when I cross policemen, even when I walk into a store. It's not paranoia, it's worse - it's self-guilt syndrome. But when I'm actually checked for something, for instance when a store's beep alarm goes on as I cross the gates (but am innocent), I'm generally quite cool. I only remain nervous with policemen, they always make me feel even guiltier when they challenge me orally. Except when I'm drunk - did I ever tell you about the time I was stopped by Gendarmes on a highspeed road with my bicycle, drunk, and with no lights on? That was a different story entirely, I even complained that their alcotest didn't work because it showed me as juuuust under the limit, that I was drunk and it was unfair that their electronic gadget didn't give me the respect I was due.
