Why Does Everyone Think My Account Was Hacked?

Question

Hi everyone. 

I have a hilarious story to share about my neighborhood’s private message board. 

I’ve lived here for a decade and always used a photo of my vintage truck as my avatar, but yesterday I decided to switch things up with a bright pink pfp just for a change of pace. 

Within an hour, my neighbor from across the street actually called my house to ask if a teenager had hijacked my login! 

It’s funny how a simple color choice can completely baffle people who expect a certain "tough" persona from me. Has anyone else faced a weird interrogation over a pink pfp? 

Thanks in advance.
